Inspect your tires for wear – Look for cracks in the sidewall, gouges, or other visible clues which could cause a blowout. Also, check your tire tread depth by putting a penny in the groove. If it disappears, your tread depth is okay. If not, you may need new tires. |

Why Do I Need to Change My Air Filter? Because of the Engine Acceleration If you’ve noticed that your car isn’t accelerating like it used to, the air filter could be the culprit. What the air filter does is deliver fresh air to the engine to aid in combustion. When your filter is clogged, less air is reaching the engine and your car becomes less powerful. |

Importance of brakes in a car Brakes are one of the important parts of the car that needs to be checked regularly because a lot of accident happens because of the car brake malfunctions. In the front wheel, most cars use disc brakes. We should check regularly the rotor and the brake caliper if it is in good condition. In some new model, cars use disc brake at the rear wheels. These brake caliper needs to be check if there are leaks from the piping’s from the master cylinder. If we ever notice fluids that come out from the piping or from the brake caliper itself we should repair it as soon as possible because that brake system will not work anymore if it has been disregarded.

What is pedal error? Pedal error is when a driver steps on an accelerator instead of applying the brakes on a vehicle. When this occurs, the motorist's foot slips off of the edge of the brake and onto the accelerator. It also takes place when a driver intends to step on the brake but steps on the brake and the accelerator. Pedal error can suddenly accelerate the vehicle, sometimes at full throttle, with no brake force to lower its speed. Braking error often occurs during parking or other maneuvers involving slow speeds or in intersections and highway exit ramps when braking is required. Drivers usually recognize braking error but cannot take timely action because these incidents take place in a small place, such as a parking lot, and there are only seconds to correct it.

Take a Break to Check Your Brakes There are two basic ways to check for brake wear on disc brakes and the first one we always suggest is look and learn. How can I look at my brakes without taking the wheels off? Well, it’s easy. Look at your brake pads through the spaces between the wheel’s spokes to check for wear. The outside pad will be pressed against a metal rotor. Generally, there should be at least 1/4 inch of pad. If you see less than 1/4 inch of pad, you may want to have your brake pads inspected or replaced asap. |

Auto Related Terms Tune Up An oil change is not the same as a tune up. It’s not even a tune up when the folks at Jiffy Lube check your coolant level and make sure you don’t need a new windshield wiper. A tune up is a maintenance check and replacement of a variety of internal parts, including the spark plugs, distributor points, rotor, fuel cap, and air filters. (The term “tune up” actually comes from the way that these parts, when maintained properly, used to buzz as if in harmony. Thus the “tuning.”) |
