This is Not Kansas City’s First Pandemic.

Just over 100 years ago our area was ravaged by what was then known as The Spanish Flu. Tiny Haskell County in the southwestern corner of Kansas was facing a serious problem. What seemed like overnight, people were reporting severe symptoms. Soldiers were headed to Camp Funston at Fort Riley, Ks. to be trained in the Army to fight overseas in World War I.

Back here in The United States things remained relatively quiet as the virus virtually spread like wildfire through Europe no one wanted the enemy to know that soldiers were weakened by sickness. By the time it finally crossed the invisible borders into Spain and beyond, millions of people had been infected.

We know that Kansas Citians’ are made of strong stuff and we will triumph over this silent killer in 2021. Here at Able Auto Service the A-Team as we have come to be known hopes that you and your family have a safe and healthy holiday season and a much better 2021. All the best to you and yours from Able Auto Service of Kansas City KS.

Alternators Gone Bad.

It happens if you own your vehicle long enough.  You turn the key, and instead of firing up the engine, all you hear are rapid clicks.  Is your battery dead?  Maybe, but the same situation could happen again with a new battery, if you miss signs of a failing alternator.  An alternator charges the battery while the vehicle is running.  

Here are some symptoms of a failing alternator –

1.  Dimming or flickering lights

2.  Odd noises…usually coming from the serpentine belt

3.  The engine stalls

4.  The dreaded “check engine light” goes on and STAYS on

It’s Not Warming up any Time Soon.

No one experiences that more than your vehicle’s battery.  It is one of the most important parts of your car.  Without it, you won’t go anywhere!  Your battery will eventually let you down and leave you stranded if you don’t take care of it.  There are a lot of things that can cause your battery to fail, and many of them are so gradual and so easy to miss.

Most battery manufacturers will tell you that you should get your car’s battery checked twice a year.  Just before the onset of another tough winter in Kansas City is an excellent time to do just that.  Almost everyone knows that extreme hot or cold weather are the most common things that wear your car battery down.
