How to Find a Good Auto Mechanic.

Finding the right mechanic or shop to have your vehicles repaired is as important as finding the right doctor or dentist.  It is someone that you trust with one of your most prized possessions.  A bad mechanic can take years off of your vehicle’s life and increase YOUR expenses.  A good mechanic will always shoot straight and let you know what needs repairing and what doesn’t.

It doesn’t matter if you are the manager of a fleet of cars or someone who is value conscious and owns one family vehicle.  Able Auto Service is a family-owned and family-operated business that serves the Kansas City area.  Able Auto proudly supports local charities and fund-raising events.  They also contribute to the Special Olympics and The National Federation of Independent Business Owners.

The Importance of Good Brakes.

Brakes are the most important safety feature of your vehicle.  You don’t play fast and loose with something that is so important to your safety every time you get behind the wheel.  Or are you that one in a hundred million charmed individual who will never have a child or an animal run in front of your car or will never experience the sudden need to brake when some fool runs through that stop sign?

Of course you want your brakes to be in tip top condition especially with harsh weather on its way.  Brakes need to be checked twice a year.  When they are wearing down, an honest mechanic will tell you how much life they have left and when to think about replacing them. 

Able Auto Service knows brake systems inside and out and will NEVER try to steer you into having your brake pads replaced if they are not truly convinced that your safety is compromised.  We will inspect brake lines, brake fluid levels, and brake pads.  When you leave our shop you will know exactly where your car’s safety stands.  Call Able Auto Service today at 913-321-1030.  We serve the greater Kansas City area from our location at 837 Osage Ave.

How Important is an Oil Change?

We all know that you need to change your oil every 3000 to 5000 miles.  The question is why?  We all dread having to take time out of our day for something that is preventative rather than an emergency.  Always remember this - an oil change is one of the LEAST expensive things you can do to keep your car on the road.

Simply put, oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle.  You could look at it this way - food is the fuel that keeps your body functioning, but exercise is necessary to keep it in top running condition.  Oil literally keeps many of your engine components functioning and helps reduce the accumulation of carbon from forming on your engine.  A car’s engine gets very hot and clean oil helps pull that heat away.

If you are unsure of the number of miles that you have driven since your last oil change then it is probably time to get one.  When you trust your vehicle to Able Auto Service at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS we will select the right viscosity and grade of oil for your vehicle and cheerfully offer a FREE tire rotation.  Give us a call for an appointment at (913) 321-1030.
