Your Exhaust System this Winter.

Exhaust systems and mufflers need to be serviced and maintained year around.  This is not just for your own car’s performance, but for the planet as well.  A poorly maintained exhaust system pollutes the air around us.  Also, a bad muffler pollutes our ears!  It just makes sense to pay attention to these things during a Kansas City winter.

Here is a reason that your vehicle’s exhaust system needs to be in top shape in the dead of winter.  If you get stranded in the KC Metro in snow or freezing cold you have only your car to keep you warm.  Suddenly a leaky exhaust is not just noticeable, but downright dangerous.  You may HAVE to be able to run your heat to save your family.

Don’t become exhausted because of a bad exhaust system this winter.  Before we go through another 2+ months of this stuff make an appointment with Able Auto Service to have your exhaust system checked for potential winter problems.  The A-Team is always there for you. Make an appointment today at (877) 716-0776 to visit their shop at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.

Happy New Year Kansas City.

You survived the holidays and now comes the challenge of driving Kansas City area roads in the worst weather of the year.  If you have lived in the KC metro for years one thing is certain…don’t get used to today’s forecast, there is a new one on the way.  In January that could mean ice and snow and winds that make driving a real challenge.

Protect that battery!  It is the life blood of your vehicle.  Just as you keep an eye on your heart rate when you shovel snow listen to your battery.  Getting stranded on the side of the road at this time of year can be a REAL danger.  The winter cold will take a toll on your tires as well.  Slowly but surely they will deflate leaving you with uncertain traction.

Never has the old expression been more true, “pre-planning prevents poor performance”.  Stand up to Old Man Winter and call Able Auto Service to have your vehicle maintained for potential winter problems.  The A-Team is standing by.  Make an appointment today at (877) 716-0776 to visit their shop at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.
