Brake fluid is probably one of the most ignored fluids on your vehicle. The reason to pay attention to your brake fluid is because it takes a beating from its surroundings. It goes through extreme temperature swings from ambient temperatures to 650 degrees Fahrenheit. It is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. What does that mean for you? Well moisture, causes corrosion, moisture also expands when heated to and can cause excessive wear to your brake system by keeping undue pressure on the system. Also, with it being hygroscopic, in the winter when it gets below freezing it can make your brakes less responsive until the fluid heats up. Water content of brake fluid can be measured easily. The cost of a brake fluid flush is very inexpensive, and worth every penny for what it will save you in repair costs. So please feel free to stop by and let us check your brake fluid for moisture content at 1225 Hayes Industrial Dr Marietta Ga

Servicing all the fluids on your vehicle is important. You change oil more frequently due to heat and carbon build up in the oil as well as the limitations of a filtration system. Because transmissions, differentials, transfer cases, and power steering pumps do not produce carbon from combustion they all generate extreme heat and microscopic fragments that cause wear. Servicing the fluids in the high RPM delicately meshed systems is affordable from a maintenance standpoint and can save you lots of money from a replacement standpoint. Not to mention all the combined resistance of poor viscosity and additional friction can worsen fuel economy and general performance could be lacking due to the increased wear. Transmission service varies greatly but a lot can be serviced for less than $200.00 others can be considerably more but far less than a $4000.00 plus cost of a transmission. Most of the others can be serviced for around $100.00 depending on fluid with a few exceptions. Don’t b ... read more

Why should you replace your shocks? There are lots of reasons to replace them when needed. Shocks become soft and lose their ability to keep your vehicle balanced. When they lose their function, they keep your vehicle from braking effectively. They also cause your vehicle to lose acceleration, worn out shocks make your vehicle unsafe to drive and they make it uncomfortable. Shock manufacturers recommend having your shocks and struts inspected every 50,000 miles or 80,000 km. Visual inspection of shocks may not indicate the need for replacement. Sometimes they will visually show signs of needing replacement, like oil leaking out of the shock or obvious bushing wear but most of the time there is no obvious sign. Monroe Shocks and Struts, a manufacturer of shocks and struts, states that “Typical shocks and struts ‘stroke’ an average of 1,750 times per mile- that’s 21 million cycles per 12,000 miles/19,300 kilometers.” That compounded but rough road condition ... read more
