Auto Repair Made Easy - Your And Your Oil

Sunday May 18, 2008

When you drive, the heat from your engine breaks down the oil which is used as a lubricant for the moving parts. When this happens it becomes less effective and several bad things may begin happening.

The purpose of oil is to not only lubricate your engine, but to trap dirt and any other potentially destructive floaters which could cause major damage. But like all good things… your oils ability to protect and serve will come to an end.

Without the protection of clean, lubrication oil, parts of your engine rub together and begin to wear out. This will not only decrease the lifespan of your car, but it will become very, very costly to repair and replace.


Protection From Auto Repair Rip-offs

Thursday May 8, 2008

The problems with asking for the old parts back from your auto repair are many. Number one what you are really saying is I don’t trust you, right to your shops face. Another problem is if you ask for the old parts back from lets say a tune up you may get six old spark plugs and a smelly fuel soaked fuel filter. You do not want to carry around a wet fuel filter, and when it comes to the old spark plugs they could be out of anybody’s vehicle. Some times the part numbers on the old spark plugs is hard to read on very old plugs. If you can read the part number you can call a parts store to verify the spark plug part number belongs in your vehicle. When you are talking about getting the old parts back when the auto repair is brake job, trust me you do not want the old brake pads back. They are in most cases unidentifiable and very dirty and dusty. Plus there is no readable part Number to verify if they are off of your vehicle. So again they could be from someone else’s car repair.
