Exhausted? It’s Okay, We’re Here.

What makes one vehicle louder than another?  How are cars able to reduce emissions?  It’s all about the exhaust system.  The exhaust system works through several components that collect exhaust fumes from the engine cylinders and removes harmful substances while reducing noises and releasing those nasty exhaust gases away from your vehicle.

The exhaust system is made up of several different components that work together to reduce exhaust noise and provide a conduit for exhaust gases to exit the engine by exiting beneath the vehicle.  This pathway is used to keep harmful gases from entering the vehicle and making occupants sick…good idea, don’t you think?

Heat Can Make You Stall in your Tracks.

The same is true of your vehicle this summer on the roadways of Kansas City.  Is cold weather or hot weather worse for your car’s battery?  Experts say that the answer is summertime!  It's true that battery failures do occur in cold weather, but that's not usually what has caused the problem. The drain on the battery's resources most likely occurred during the summer's hot weather.

Here are some of the warning signs –

1.  How old is that old battery anyway?

2.  Frequent on/off cycles wear it down faster.

3.  Check the electric system periodically to make sure it is charging properly.

4.  Look for corrosion on the cables.
