Mounting and Balancing Tires.

What does that really mean?  We hear the term all the time, but what does it mean to mount and balance?  It might be a little easier to understand if you were a gymnast!  The mounting part seems pretty simple, but the balancing is a bit more complicated.  And just like the proverbial chicken and the egg…you can’t have one without the other.

A wheel is considered to be in balance when the center of gravity is identical to the axis of rotation – in other words, when the mass of the wheel and the tire are evenly distributed around the axle, so there’s absolutely no vibration when the tire spins.  Our installers use special equipment to analyze the tires and wheels and find any heavy spots that could cause them to vibrate when spinning.

It is all about attention to detail.  That is why we hope you will trust us to provide not only the tires themselves, but the important parts of mounting and balancing as well.  We are the A-Team…a team of auto mechanics at Able Auto Service located at 837 Osage Ave in Kansas City, KS.  Make an appointment for tire mounting and balancing by calling (913) 321-1030.     

Folks, It’s NOT an Appendix.

An appendix was put into our body for some unknown reason, and when it goes bad it has to be removed.  Do we really need an appendix?  Well, some might ask…does our car really need a muffler?  It IS necessary because the gas coming from the combustion in the pistons of the engine would generate an extremely loud noise if it were sent directly through the exhaust.

Dual exhausts have two mufflers and are normally used for high-performance cars.  One of the most obvious signs that your muffler needs to be looked at is that your vehicle is very loud while it is running. Should this occur, take your vehicle to a mechanic right away.  Eventually, it could damage other areas of your vehicle.

As to the subject of where to take it…why not trust the muffler repair and replacement professionals at Able Auto Service?  It’s just another reason why they are known as the Kansas City area’s A-Team.  They are a truly gifted group of professional auto mechanics located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Just give ‘em a call at (913) 321-1030.
