Safety First this Holiday Season.

We hope this will be the best holiday season of all for you and your family.  Take extra time when negotiating traffic this time of year with shopping and holiday parties, etc.  We want to see you enjoy the New Year.  If the weather becomes inclement please slow down.  You will get where you are going in time.   Trust and believe whoever is waiting for you will appreciate that you took the extra time to arrive safe and sound.

One thing to be aware of is the weather conditions in other areas and in the near future where you may be traveling this holiday season.  Please don’t assume that just because it happens to be sunny and moderate today in Kansas City (if by some miracle it is) that three days from now the weather will be the same in St. Louis.  Check the forecast ahead of time and make preparations accordingly up to and including leaving a little earlier or later.

During this holiday season and in the year to come get to know the car care professionals in the Kansas City area at Able Auto Service.  We don’t want you to find us by accident, but rather by choice.  Able Auto Service is a full service auto repair shop located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Call them for an estimate or to make an appointment at (913) 321-1030.

What is the Function of a Muffler?

We know that a muffler is a device that reduces the noise emitted by the exhaust of an external combustion engine.  Although a muffler does not have any primary exhaust function it is designed to reduce the sound pressure created by the engine.  One of the negative side effects of a muffler is the fact that the increase of back pressure decreases engine efficiency.

When the flow of exhaust gases from the engine to the atmosphere is obstructed to any degree, back pressure arises and the engine's efficiency, and therefore power, is reduced.  A proper muffler system needs to be regularly maintained in your vehicle.  This is not only a matter of your family’s safety, but public safety as well.

If you begin to hear your muffler acting up do not hesitate. Able Auto Service offers a full range of exhaust systems as well as value-oriented replacement mufflers.  Able Auto Service is dedicated to not only keeping the Kansas City area safe and quiet, but helping the environment as well.  Give us a call at (913) 321-1030 - and make an appointment at our shop at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.
