This entire process helps maintain the effectiveness and health of a vehicle&#8217;s brakes.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Role of Brake Fluid?<\/h2>\n<p>The primary role of brake fluid is amplifying and transmitting the force applied by the driver when he presses down the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is used, the force brings the brake master cylinder into action. In turn, the brake master cylinder catalyses the brake fluid all through the brake line to reach the brakes of each wheel and stop the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>If your car has a disc brake system, then the process is a bit different. Here the plunger present in the brake master cylinder forces the pressurized fluid in the brake&#8217;s calliper pistons. These are hydraulic pistons that further squeeze brake pads against the wheel rotor. This entire action creates friction, and the frictional force stops the moving vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>If a car has a drum brakes system, the pressurized brake fluids work on the wheel cylinder, further pushing a pair of brake shoes against the drums to stop the moving wheels.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is a Brake Fluid Flush Important?<\/h2>\n<p>A car&#8217;s brake system comprises many different parts. Most of these parts are joined together with hoses and brake lines, which utilize brake fluid in the amplification and transmission of forces. That&#8217;s why it is critical to ensure that the braking quality always remains the best and doesn&#8217;t curb the functionalities of other brake parts. And that is where brake fluid comes into the frame.<\/p>\n<p>If your brake components are compromised you will notice a decline in performance. Experts at TIRECRAFT advise drivers to keep an eye out for the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<p><b>Spongy Brake Pedal:<\/b> Does the brake pedal feel spongy, soft, bouncy, or even loose when pressing? Do you press the brake pedal all the way to the car floor to slow down the car? This is a definite sign your car needs brake fluid change.<\/p>\n<p><b>Strange Smells or Noises When Brakes are applied:<\/b> If you hear strange noises when brakes are applied, this may be caused from some brake system problem or low levels of brake fluid. Some familiar sounds you may hear are scraping and grinding noises. After hard braking, if you experience burning smells, then you may be facing the issue of burnt-out brake fluid.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ineffective Breaking Performance:<\/b> Brakes should be responsive and quick so that you remain safe during an emergency. Any difficulties or delays in slowing down or stopping the car show that your brakes need immediate servicing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Benefits of Regular Brake Fluid Flushes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Brake fluid replacement has many benefits. If performed regularly, a brake fluid flush offers many benefits, including:<\/p>\n<p><b>Preventing Corrosion:<\/b> Brake fluid is hydrophilic and absorbs moisture present in the air. With higher moisture levels in the brake fluid, it can lead to corrosion of the metal parts of the braking system. The corrosion can cause the breakdown of these metal components. Regular fluid change helps prevent corrosion.<\/p>\n<p><b>Effective Working of Braking System:<\/b> Traction control and ABS systems are critical for optimal braking and seamless vehicle performance. Old brake fluid can damage the ABS and traction control systems with moisture. Regular brake fluid flush ensures the prime health of these components.<\/p>\n<p>At TIRECRAFT we recommend having your brakes services regularly. A brake fluid flush typically needs to occur every 40,000 km to 60,000 km depending on the vehicle and driving habits.

So, make sure that your car has a longer lifespan by getting inspected from time to time.<\/p>\n<h2>What is scheduled car maintenance, and why is it important?<\/h2>\n<p>When a car is designed, the manufacturer has set the service schedule in which it recommends the intervals. In those intervals all the maintenance tasks should be carried out.<\/p>\n<p>The components to be checked and the intervals at which they are examined will vary slightly for each car model and are typically broken down by mileage and can vary by manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, scheduled maintenance is a vital aspect of owning a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>A car maintenance schedule is significant to the life of your car \u2013 it is like your car&#8217;s regular doctor appointments.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of maintaining a car schedule<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Saves You Money<\/strong> &#8211; If you regularly take care of your car, it does not cost much compared to replacing damaged parts. So, you will prevent more costly issues from arising. Be smart and save your money by following your vehicle&#8217;s routine maintenance rather than neglecting it by booking an appointment with your nearby TIRECRAFT as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeps Resale High<\/strong> &#8211; One of the most important reasons to follow a car maintenance schedule is to preserve the resale value of your vehicle. If you plan to sell your vehicle in the future, you should stay on top of your maintenance schedule as it will give you the ability to sell your vehicle more. Not only will these services make driving a more pleasant experience for you, but you will get more money if you take good care of it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increases safety<\/strong> &#8211; Keeping up on your car maintenance services will increase your safety. It will prevent more significant issues from arising and take away the risk of dealing with a malfunctioning car.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provides peace of mind <\/strong>&#8211; There is nothing more peaceful than knowing your car is safe. When your automobile receives car maintenance, you can fully and confidently drive your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lowers the cost of fuel<\/strong> &#8211; Car maintenance services such as oil change, tire rotation, etc., improve your vehicle&#8217;s gas mileage and thus reduce fuel costs. If you fail to have such replacements, your gas tank fills more often, which as a result, eats up your money. So keep up on your maintenance services by scheduling your appointment at your nearby TIRECRAFTtoday!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Car maintenance Checklist &#8211;<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure you go through this car maintenance checklist or a similar checklist every few months to maximize the life and performance of your vehicle, depending on the time and season. Some of these parts of your car should be checked regularly( short run), and others only in the long run. To know which items on our checklist apply to your vehicle, always check your car&#8217;s manual. These are-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Air filter <\/strong>Your engine regulates the air that flows into your engine. It helps to keep out debris and particulate. By making sure that your air filter is working correctly, you can improve your fuel efficiency and ensure the long life of your engine. You can do this easily at home by yourself, so it is essential to check your owner&#8217;s manual for instructions and how often it needs to be changed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engine oil <\/strong>The motor oil in your vehicle&#8217;s engine serves many functions. It lubricates the moving parts and helps act as a sealant against debris. It not only cools the engine but reduces wear and tear and helps prevent engine corrosion. Keeping it clean and safe is vital for good engine health. Depending on what kind of oil you&#8217;re using for your car, you may need to change both the oil &amp; oil filter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tire rotation<\/strong> Depending on vehicle usage, and other factors, the tread wear patterns on tires may vary between both or even from one side of the tread to the other. Rotating your vehicle tires helps extend the service life of your tires by more evenly balancing the tread wear. It also helps in preventing noise and vibration problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transmission fluid <\/strong>Transmission fluid is a long-term checkup. Much like engine oil, transmission fluid is also a lubricant that helps keep all of the moving parts inside your vehicle&#8217;s transmission functioning properly. So, whether you&#8217;re driving an automatic or a manual transmission vehicle, you must have your transmission fluid levels checked and changed when needed. Also, follow the vehicle manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coolant fluid exchange<\/strong> The radiator in your car is a critical component that helps keep your engine cool and functioning properly. If you flushed the coolant system regularly, it would help eliminate contaminants that can build up inside. Checking your vehicle manufacturer&#8217;s recommendation is essential to determine how often your coolant should be changed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tire pressure <\/strong>Under inflation in the tires leads to tire failure. So, it is essential to have the proper air pressure in your tires. Check the pressure in your tires every month before carrying an extra load. Look for worn-out treads or blisters on the tire as they indicate replacement. You can also use a tire pressure gauge to ensure the air inside the tires is sufficient to drive the car.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A car maintenance schedule service is one of the best decisions you can make for your car care. It is an excellent form of insurance for your vehicle, and it will help keep you safe from costly repairs and breakdowns.<\/p>\n<p>This might all sound not very easy for you, but our professional technicians at TIRECRAFT make it a breeze. In the end, car maintenance services are essential, and it is as simple as getting the exemplary service at the right time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regular car maintenance is imperative to ensure your vehicle performs at its peak.

Braking on a wet or slippery surface can cause the vehicle&#8217;s wheels to lock. This reduces the adhesion between tires and the road surface and makes the vehicle unsteerable.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the antilock braking system (ABS) has a very important role in maintaining the safety of your vehicle as it prevents the wheels from locking and enables safe braking.<\/p>\n<p>ABS constantly works by monitoring the rotational speed of each vehicle&#8217;s wheel. If it senses that any wheel is rotating at a slower speed than the car&#8217;s speed, then it will automatically release braking pressure on that wheel to prevent it from locking up.<\/p>\n<h2>How does an Anti-lock braking system work?<\/h2>\n<p>The Anti-lock braking system sensor is located on the brake caliper. It is part of your car&#8217;s electronic stability control (ESC).<\/p>\n<p>The ESC helps prevent problems such as oversteer or understeer. It is linked to the engine control unit (ECU), called the car&#8217;s brain. The ECU reads the signal from each of the speed sensors of the wheel. When brakes are suddenly applied, the wheel decelerates faster which may cause it to lock. ECU then sends a signal to the valve, which makes it close, and the pressure to the brake pad reduces and prevents the wheel from locking. When the wheel starts to accelerate again, the signal is sent; this reduces the wheel&#8217;s speed and tries to make it stop.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this, the locking of the wheel prevents the car from skidding and ensures that you regain control of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the signs of a faulty Anti-lock braking system?<\/h2>\n<p>The obvious signs that can help to detect an ABS brake system issue are &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ABS warning light glows &#8211; If you are driving and the ABS light suddenly glows, this indicates a failure with any ABS components in your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>An Unresponsive Brake Pedal &#8211; Your brake pedal may slowly become unresponsive over time. It means you are passing your brakes multiple times to get it to work. This can be the sign of a deteriorating ABS system. TIRECRAFT recommends you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Speedometer failure &#8211; A faulty speedometer can be a reasonable cause to have your car checked out for ABS.<\/li>\n<li>Brakes lock up &#8211; The ABS is specifically designed to prevent any wheel from locking up during heavy braking. So, when the abs automatic braking system fails, you feel that you are braking heavily.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What does an Anti-lock braking system do?<\/h2>\n<p>Several benefits of anti-lock brakes are-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Shorter stopping distances &#8211; Anti-lock brakes reduce the braking distances as the wheel of your vehicle do not waste distance skidding.<\/li>\n<li>Stopping on the wet surface &#8211; ABS lowers the risk of wheel lock-up on wet surfaces. This can be life-saving as it helps drivers maintain control and steer out of potentially dangerous scenarios.<\/li>\n<li>Decreased insurance cost &#8211; Cars with this ABS technology keep your auto insurance payments down because anti-lock brakes have been proven to lower the risk of accidents.<\/li>\n<li>Steer under braking &#8211; Anti-lock brakes allow you to steer your car around objects, as there is still a grip on the wheels under intense braking.<\/li>\n<li>Higher resale value &#8211; The resale value of your car is higher because of anti-lock brakes. If you do have no ABS, this can compromise the total resale value of your vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If still in doubt, TIRECRAFT is here to keep your anti-lock braking system and the rest of your vehicle in optimum working condition so that you can always drive with confidence.

They are the most overlooked part of your car. As once your vehicle is in motion, there is nothing more important than having the ability to stop your vehicle quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Just like your ankle bone is connected to your foot bone, your brake system also relies on each connected brake part to function successfully.<\/p>\n<h2>So, how do your car brakes work?<\/h2>\n<p>The brakes in your vehicle are not specifically what is stopping the car. Instead, they control the wheels from turning, which in turn slows down your vehicle and thus brings it to a stop.<\/p>\n<p>When you press your brake pedal, your car transfers the force from your foot to its brakes through brake fluid. \u00adThe brakes thus transmit force to the tires using friction, and finally, the tires send that force to the road using friction.<\/p>\n<p>There are several components of your vehicle braking system. These include &#8211; master cylinder, brake calipers, brake fluid and cylinders, servo, disks, drums, pads, and shoes. All the components are interlinked by a series of brake hoses and brake pipes.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does your car shake when you brake?<\/h2>\n<p>A shaking car indicates that there may be a severe problem with your brakes. While you should take any engine fault or other parts problem seriously, it&#8217;s foremost that you also take extra care to make sure the brakes are working correctly. Some common causes for shaking of your car are &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Worn brake pads<\/strong> &#8211; If your car&#8217;s brake pads are worn out, then it may be the reason your car shakes. When you press down the pedal of your vehicle and hear some grinding noises, it may be because of the brake pads. The main reason for worn out brake pads is them overheating, as when it overheats; the resin may not distribute evenly; this issue can cause your brakes to shake or vibrate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brake rotor and disc issues<\/strong> &#8211; Over time, when the surface of brake rotors wears down, they become uneven. As a result, the brake pads&#8217; ability to grab worsens, which causes the pedal and steering wheel to shake. So, if you feel such a condition, then it&#8217;s time to get your car checked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Infrequent driving<\/strong> &#8211; Your driving style and the quality of your brake pads help decide your brake&#8217;s life. Particularly in winter, if you drive your car infrequently, then brake pads rust. This can cause the brakes to corrode. By this, the rotor of your vehicle becomes uneven, and you may hear strange noises from your car when braking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stocking of debris<\/strong> &#8211; If debris gets stuck in the brake components it may cause your car to shake. As a result, this causes friction between your brake pads or the rotor. If debris obstructs the brake pad, it affects the pads&#8217; ability to grip correctly, which in turn causes your car to shake as the brakes can&#8217;t function properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry guide pins<\/strong> &#8211; If you notice your steering wheel shaking when you try to stop your car, it could be because of dry guide pins. These pins are part of the brake calipers. These are responsible for guiding the brake pad to the rotor in your vehicle. These pins must be clean and lubricated to work correctly. But when they become dry, they can cause the brake pads to push down on the rotor at the wrong angle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>When to change your car brake pads?<\/h2>\n<p>As brake pads are an essential part of your car&#8217;s braking system, keeping them in good condition is necessary for your safety. Some symptoms that let you know that it\u2019s time to change your brake pads include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Grinding sound when braking<\/strong> -If you&#8217;re experiencing a grinding noise in your car while you&#8217;re applying pressure to the brake pedal, your brake pads need to be replaced soon. Some brake pads have built-in metal wear indicators designed to make a loud noise, thus alerting you that it&#8217;s time to replace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taking longer to stop<\/strong> &#8211; Your car brakes need to be checked out if you&#8217;re experiencing less than ideal stoppage times while applying brakes. It may be because of low brake fluid. To properly understand what&#8217;s going on with your brakes, you can visit your nearby TIRECRAFT to ensure you don&#8217;t lose all braking abilities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brake pad indicator light comes on<\/strong> &#8211; Nowadays, most modern vehicles come with a brake warning light that appears on the car\u2019s dashboard. If you&#8217;re seeing a brake warning light and your parking brake isn&#8217;t engaged, then it&#8217;s time to have a check-up of your vehicle to diagnose the issue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brake pads appear to be thin<\/strong> &#8211; You can check on your brake pads by visually inspecting them. For this, you need to look between the spokes of your wheels and locate your brake pad. If it appears thin, you&#8217;re probably due for a set of new brake pads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Have your braking system checked<\/h2>\n<p>In summary, if your vehicle is making any of the symptom warnings listed above it is recommended you book an appointment with your local TIRECRAFT shop. Our team of certified professionals can carefully inspect the car brake system to determine what is causing your vehicle to shake while you&#8217;re out on the road.

This indicator is telling you to check up your engine, as something may be wrong with your car. In this situation, it is best to call your local TIRECRAFT for service.<\/p>\n<h2>What does the check engine light mean?<\/h2>\n<p>The check engine light, also known as the malfunction indicator lamp on the dashboard, is a warning or signal that the onboard diagnostics system has detected a malfunction in the vehicle\u2019s emissions, ignition, fuel, or exhaust systems. Check engine lights come in orange, yellow, or amber, depending on the vehicle\u2019s manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>If the light begins flashing, it indicates a more serious problem, such as a misfire or other serious issue that requires repair and should be dealt with quickly.<\/p>\n<p>If the engine light is illuminated but isn\u2019t flashing, before rushing to any mechanic, first tighten the gas cap yourself as a loose gas cap can trigger a check engine warning.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is your check engine light on?<\/h2>\n<p>The check engine light comes on for countless reasons. While there is a chance of a major fault, it is sometimes likely that the problem could be something minor. Here are some of the most common reasons why your check engine light might be on-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Ignition system problems<\/strong> &#8211; The ignition system includes bad spark plugs, coil packs, and everything needed to ignite the air\/fuel mixture. A bad spark plug can cause several issues like a clogged catalytic converter, damage oxygen sensors, and ignition coils. It can also lead to poor performance power, reduced fuel economy, and engine misfiring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loose fuel filler cap<\/strong> &#8211; A bad or loose fuel filler cap is another problem that causes the check engine light to appear. The function of the filler cap is to seal the fuel system to keep the pressure inside the fuel tank. It also helps prevent gasoline fumes from being unleashed into the atmosphere while you aren\u2019t driving your vehicle. Tighten the fuel filler cap if it\u2019s loose or if you see the damage, replace the cap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oxygen sensor failure<\/strong> &#8211; If you don\u2019t replace a bad oxygen sensor, your car engine will burn more fuel than required. Additionally, the bad sensors also cause damage to your spark plugs and catalytic converter. Thus, it makes your vehicle lose fuel economy and get fewer miles per gallon of fuel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bad catalytic converter<\/strong> &#8211; It secures the environment by changing carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. If it is not maintained, it gives a result of check engine light to show up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transmission problems<\/strong> &#8211; As your car\u2019s transmission manipulates the engine power and transfers it to wheels as such two assemblies work together so closely, transmission can also increase tailpipe emissions. That\u2019s why, if there is any problem with the transmission, then the control module detects it and thus turns on the check engine light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vacuum leak<\/strong> &#8211; If the idle of your car begins to surge or even settles at the unnecessary high RPM, then this may occur because of a vacuum leak, and as a result, it turns on the check engine light.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What to do if your engine light is on?<\/h2>\n<p>You won\u2019t know what to do with an engine light warning until a professional diagnoses your car. We recommend visiting your nearby TIRECRAFT and get your vehicle diagnosed and repaired by our technicians.<\/p>\n<p>You can also apply some tips by yourself if the check engine light comes on. These are-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Try tightening the gas cap<\/strong> &#8211; You can try tightening the gas cap; it may often solve the problem temporarily. You should also keep in mind that it may take several trips before you want the light to actually resets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce speed and load<\/strong> &#8211; If the check engine light is blinking or there is a loss of power, then try to reduce your speed and load on the engine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look for a serious problem &#8211; <\/strong>Try to check the dashboard lights for indications of low oil pressure or overheating, and if something like this appears, this means you should shut off the vehicle\u2019s engine as soon as you can. Problems that require attention as soon as the check engine light comes on are &#8211;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li><em>An unplugged or loose wire<\/em> \u2013 A mouse or squirrel can easily destroy or loosen a wire.<\/li>\n<li><em>Low oil pressure<\/em> -If your car is low on oil, it can cause your check engine light to go off, and this can be visible to you on the dashboard with a glowing light along with the check engine light.<\/li>\n<li><em>Overheating<\/em> &#8211; If your car\u2019s engine temperature is heating up, it can be because of the check engine light. If you see the temperature gauge rising, stop your vehicle as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bring your vehicle to your local TIRECRAFT shop where our technicians can run your vehicle through a code reader and do a physical inspection to determine what may be the source of your check engine light turning on.

Vehicles need air filtration systems as they produce exhaust gases while running. These gases contain dangerous substances which can be hazardous to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Every vehicle has an exhaust system to route these harmful emissions away from the engine. As any other components to a vehicle, the exhaust system needs service on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is an exhaust system, and how does it work?<\/p>\n<p>The exhaust system of a car works just like a kitchen chimney that directs the byproducts from burning fuel away from passengers. It routes waste gases from the engine to the car&#8217;s rear, discharged into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>It also helps in converting pollutants into less harmful byproducts and provides the right amount of backpressure into the vehicle&#8217;s engine and thus improves fuel-burning efficiency and increases your vehicle&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the symptoms of a defective Exhaust system?<\/h2>\n<p>There are some warning signs which could mean that there are issues with your exhaust system. These are &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Rattling noises<\/strong> &#8211; If you hear a constant rattling sound when the engine is running, it could be because of the loose catalytic converter of your vehicle. So, It would be better that you replace or repair your car exhaust quickly.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Vibrations<\/strong> &#8211; If you notice a vibration on the steering wheel or car seat, it is likely due to an issue in the exhaust system. So, go and have exhaust repair services at your local TIRECRAFT.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decreased fuel efficiency<\/strong> &#8211; If you are visiting the gas station more than usual, it could be a possible sign of an exhaust leak. This exhaust leak is a sign of harmful gases that are not being emitted outside the system of your car. As a result, it raises the temperature of the engine and therefore decreases the efficiency of fuel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gas Smell<\/strong> &#8211; If you start smelling gas inside the car, it indicates an exhaust problem when one of the exhaust pipes is damaged and starts to leak; the fumes from the gas escape through any place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engine light<\/strong> &#8211; If your vehicle&#8217;s check engine light comes on and stays on, then it&#8217;s a signal that something is wrong with your car. So, it&#8217;s time that you should have your vehicle checked immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sometimes, without a professional inspection, problems with your exhaust system may go unnoticed. So, for this reason, or others, it&#8217;s a good idea to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle. You can check your nearby exhaust shops at <strong>TIRECRAFT<\/strong>, and our skilled and experienced car technicians will help you get back on the road ASAP.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the benefits of Exhaust Services?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Improves engine performance<\/strong> &#8211; Improving your car exhaust system improves the performance of your vehicle&#8217;s engine. When air moves easily out of the engine, it helps the engine to breathe and thus, your car is ready to go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduces the risk of inhalation of hazardous fumes<\/strong> -Having regularly scheduled exhaust services reduces the risk of inhalation if harmful fumed as the system will be inspected and ensure fumes are being safely removed from the vehicle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increases fuel efficiency<\/strong> &#8211; A good exhaust system increases the fuel efficiency of your vehicle as it helps to maintain optimum air levels inside the vehicle, which reduces the need for the vehicle&#8217;s engine to consume an extra amount of fuel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How often are Exhaust system services done?<\/h2>\n<p>It is recommended to visit a trusted exhaust service shop at the first sign of an exhaust leak. Depending on driving conditions and driving habits, the exhaust system of your car will last anywhere from two to three years. However, to avoid any damage, it is very important to check your exhaust system periodically.<\/p>\n<p>So, whether you have a failed exhaust system or feel that it&#8217;s time for maintenance of your exhaust, bring your vehicle to your local TIRECRAFT location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhaust Shop Near Me: Visit your local TIRECRAFT If you are looking for an Exhaust shop near you, look no further than TIRECRAFT!

Does your car feel like a bucking bronco? If this happens, it may be time to look at your car&#8217;s suspension system and consider replacing your shocks and struts.<\/p>\n<h2>What are shocks and struts, and what do they do?<\/h2>\n<p>Shocks and struts play a large role in your comfort and handling of a vehicle. Some vehicles come equipped with shocks, struts or both. Shocks or a shock absorber focus on absorbing unevenness or bumps in the road and allow your vehicle to steadily travel along. Struts also serve a similar role but are designed differently.<\/p>\n<p>Both are mounted to your vehicle&#8217;s suspension system and work with the other components in your suspension system to ensure a stable and comfortable ride.<\/p>\n<p>Shocks and struts help your tires maintain traction by minimizing bouncing and other movements that inhibit safe handling. They also help in keeping the weight of your car balanced and stable over speed bumps.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you know your vehicle needs shocks and struts service?<\/h2>\n<p>Shocks and struts deteriorate slowly over time. Because of this, your vehicle&#8217;s suspension can go from bad to worse slowly over time.<\/p>\n<p>Several signs tell you that you need to replace the shocks and struts. These can include &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Excessive Vehicle bouncing<\/strong> &#8211; When you hit a bump in the road, and your vehicle bounces, and you lose control of the vehicle, it is one of the easiest symptoms to notice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unstable Braking and Vibration <\/strong>\u2013 If your car lunges forward when you hit the brakes, it may mean that your shocks and struts cannot handle the changes to your vehicle&#8217;s weight distribution. If you feel this forward movement or a vibration while braking it is recommended you visit your nearby TIRECRAFT and solve this problem by having shocks and struts serviced on your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uneven tire wear<\/strong> \u2013 Worn out shocks and struts going un noticed may wear out your tires faster than normal. If the tires are getting more pressure in different places those places will wear faster than others. If your tires are wearing unevenly it may be a result of worn out shocks and struts which can place uneven pressure on the tires.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Why replace them?<\/h2>\n<p>Worn out shocks and struts decrease the lifespan of your tires, as well as limit the steering and performance of your vehicle. Having these components serviced and\/or replaced will significantly increase the performance of your vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these benefits include-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Better grip<\/strong> &#8211; Shocks and struts help in controlling your vehicle, thus improving your ability to safely handle bumps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Wear and Tear on Other Parts too<\/strong> &#8211; Worn shocks and struts save tires, brake pads, and other parts of your vehicle and thus create a smoother and comfortable ride.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved suspension performance<\/strong> \u2013 new shock and struts ensure your vehicle suspension performs well. It enhances steering and control along with keeping your ride smooth and comfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How often should Shocks and struts be replaced?<\/h2>\n<p>Typically it is recommended to have your shocks and struts services or replaced every 80,00KM to 160,000 KM depending on your driving habits. For best results and care of your vehicle, check your owner\u2019s manual to find specific maintenance intervals for your make and model of vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>If you still have questions\u00a0 or are wondering how often you need to replace your shocks and struts, visit your local TIRECRAFT today!<\/p>\n<p>Our qualified technicians will provide you with more information about car struts and shocks and help you have a safer, comfortable and enjoyable ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocks and Strut Service for Your Vehicle Does every car ride of yours feel like a rough ride, no matter how smooth the road is?

Or is your car&#8217;s heat and air conditioning not working as they usually do?<\/p>\n<p>This all may be happening because of a clogged air cabin filter. Clogged filters can impact the flow of air which your vehicle HVAC system depends on. Dirty filters adversely not only affect cabin air quality but also reduce the power output from the engine.<\/p>\n<h2>So, what is a Cabin Air Filter, and how does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>The cabin air filter is a small size pleated filter. It\u2019s usually made of multi-fibre paper cotton that cleans the air that comes into the interior through the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. It catches dust, dirt, debris and other airborne material such as pollen that can make your ride unpleasant.<\/p>\n<p>When the windows of your vehicle are closed, air enters the cabin through the ventilation system. The ventilation system supplies air to the heater and air conditioner, but before it reaches the heating and AC system, it also has to pass through the cabin air filter.<\/p>\n<p>As the air passes its way to the cabin, particles like dust, smoke, pollen, and larger debris like leaves get trapped into it. Thus the air that ventilates the cabin is kept clean and fresh for you.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the filter will collect too much dust, debris and\/or particles, so the point it can no longer collect any. When this happens, whatever is missed is passed through the filter and ends up in the cabin space with vehicle passengers.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to regularly have your filter inspected and changed when needed to prevent this from happening.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you know if cabin air filters need changing?<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, cabin air filters no longer serve their purpose if they fill up with harmful containments. Some warning signs will let you know that your cabin air filter may need replacement. These signs include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>An unusual odor from cabin<\/strong> &#8211; Dirty filters often lead to the growth of bacteria or mold. If you notice a foul smell inside the car even when the cabin is clean, then it may be time to replace your cabin air filters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced fuel mileage<\/strong>&#8211; If you have frequent trips to the gas station, you may consider replacing cabin air filters. It happens because your car&#8217;s engine makes up for the lower amounts of oxygen by using more fuel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced air circulation<\/strong> -If you find that you are cranking up the AC higher than usual, it is because cabin air filter could be clog up with dirt. As a result, it restricts the amount of air entering into the cabin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased fan noise<\/strong> &#8211; When large materials enter the cabin air filters, there is an increase in the fan&#8217;s noise, and when you increase the flow of air, you notice high noise coming from the AC blower. In this case, you have to replace your dirty cabin air filters with a new ones.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you observe any of these signs, it\u2019s likely time to change your cabin air filter as it plays an important role in keeping your commute comfortable. You can visit your nearby <strong>TIRECRAFT<\/strong>, where our trusted mechanics helps you get your ride fresh and safe.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the benefits of replacing a clogged Cabin air filter?<\/h2>\n<p>Replacing a cabin air filter eliminates many problems and can give you several benefits.
