battery tips

Hello all ,  just an in house tip that may help save you time, trouble and money. Last week we had a car that came in for a failed alternator. After alternater replacement it was found that the alternator was chargeing at maximum output and was getting "smokin" hot. Even though the battery looked newer it had an internal problem not allowing it to achieve a full charge. Just becouse a battery is newer does not mean it is ok. There are a lot of "cheaper" batteries out there and they just dont hold up. If your battery frequently needs jumps or is "sweating" get it tested, before it leaves you stranded or costs you an alternater.Another sighn is if your starter is cranking over slower than normal. If you suspect you have a problem or just want to be on the safe side come on by, we will check your battery at no charge, just mention the" blog". We carry "AC Delco batteries and they have proven to be nothing but a superior brand. No charge on installs as well. 

wet weather safety

Been a while since we've seen some rain. Some things to think about safety wise besides the other driver, who has lived in washington for 20 or so years and forgot how to drive in the rain. You may have developed a type of braking "pull" ,  which would be your car trying to take you towards the ditch or towards the center line while braking . This could prove to be dangerous in slick weather. You may have a sticky brake caliper or fatigued front end parts. A test drive and vehicle inspection should be done. We will do this at no charge during any service or at no charge if a repair is done to correct the problem. We want you to be safe. Besides that, your tires may last longer as well.
