It’s About the Future of the Planet.

You don’t need Al Gore to tell you that in an urban area such as Kansas City the personal automobile is the single greatest polluter, as emissions from driving a private car are a typical citizen's most air polluting activity. The negative effects of automotive emissions are at their maximum when you sit in traffic surrounded by other vehicles with their engines idling.

Gasoline and diesel fuels are mixtures of hydrocarbons, which are burned by combining oxygen with nitrogen and sulfur that burn to produce gases. Attempts to reduce exhaust emissions from gasoline and diesel engines have been compromised by limitations of testing, inherent flaws in the design and inadequate maintenance of emission control devices.

That last part is where we come in.  There is no excuse for inadequate care and maintenance of your emission system which can eventually contribute to the demise of us all.  In the Kansas City area, the A-Team will keep your car’s emission system in tip-top condition.  Just give us a call at Able Auto Service (the home of the A-Team) at 837 Osage Ave - (913) 321-1030.

There’s No Alternative to your Alternator.

People may believe that the battery powers all of the electric functions in your car, but that's not the case.  The battery does provide electricity needed for the electric starter motor to start the car.  However, when the car is running, it is the alternator that generates energy to feed the electrical system and charge the battery.

It used to be called a generator, and it works in the same way. In this case, a car's gas engine spins wheels under the hood which crank a wheel on the alternator and generates energy.  In principle, this is the same as water falling over a hydroelectric dam and spinning wheels along the way generates energy.

You may ask whom in the Kansas City area offers a lifetime guarantee on nearly all of its alternators?  That answer is simple…Able Auto Service at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  When you buy an alternator from them and have one of their A-Team install it you know you are good to go!  Call Able Auto Service at (913) 321-1030.
