It Shouldn’t Come as a Shock.

Especially this time of year with potholes appearing all over Kansas City your vehicle’s suspension system is more important than ever. It just stands to reason that after supporting several tons of metal year after year, eventually your vehicle’s shocks will wear out and suspension repair will be necessary.

Here are some things to watch for –

1.  The ride is getting noticeably rougher

2.  When you turn, your car drifts

3.  It may even dip when you stop abruptly

4.  You notice that the tire treads are wearing unevenly

5.  Your shocks and struts look “oily”

The Relationship Between Cold Weather and Car Batteries.

Cold weather and car batteries seem to have this weird relationship. There is plenty of science to explain why car battery problems in cold weather routinely occur. There are some things that Kansas City area vehicle owners can do to prepare themselves AND their vehicles for several more months of harsh winter weather.

Here are just a few –

 

1.  The best car batteries are those that have a high number of cold-cranking amps.

2.  Check the voltage as it gets really cold.

3.  Keep all of the connections clear of corrosion.

4.  Replace the battery BEFORE it conks out.

That last point is so very vital. People often wait just a little bit too long to replace their automotive battery. News flash…Kansas City is NOT Miami! It will be freezing routinely over the next few months. Drive over to 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City, KS and have the A-Team check and perhaps replace your car battery.
