Ooops - A Pebble Just Hit My Windshield.

With summer driving your chances of following that truck with a load of gravel increases.  What starts out as a simple bouncing rock begins a chain reaction when it hits your vehicle’s windshield.  Our tendency is to ignore that tiny crack in the corner, but if you do you are inviting a spider-like mass of broken glass that compromises your safety.

What is a stress crack in a windshield?  Sometimes they are caused by accelerated temperature changes.  In Kansas City we all know how quickly that can happen.  High wind and barometric pressure may also be a contributing factor.  And then, quite simply there may be a structural defect in the way the windshield has been manufactured.

Car Battery Problems in Kansas City.

There is a method of knowing when your car battery is going south on you.  To understand your vehicle’s battery know that you are dealing with a lead acid structure in a plastic box.  Encased in that battery is a delicate balance of chemicals which are ready to interact and produce electricity.  Chances are your battery has a chemical issue.

Here are three tests that need to be done to discover if the battery in your car needs to be replaced: 

1.  Inspect the battery.  Sometimes it is obvious upon inspection.  It could be anything from a broken terminal to leakage.

2.  Take a voltage reading.  If it is reading 0 volts there is a good chance that a short circuit has occurred.

3.  Load test the battery.  You need a digital volt meter for the test to be accurate.
