Engine Repair = Brain Surgery.

I know it is a radical concept, but your vehicle’s engine IS its brain.  When the engine needs repair you need to count on an “automotive brain surgeon” to fix it.  Keeping your car’s engine in tip-top condition is very simply life and death for the future of your ride.  Never, ever take it lightly!

Engine problems occur for any of a variety of reasons.  What your car may need is –

1.  A complete reprogramming of its computer
2.  Diagnosis of the engine
3.  Looking carefully at the evaporation emission system
4.  Of course, analyzing the ABS light.

There are many other things that a trained professional knows to look for.  The engine diagnostic professionals at Able Auto Service have had decades of experience…long before your vehicle had a “computerized brain”.  Count on the A-Team for all of your Kansas City area engine diagnoses.  Call (913) 321-1030 for a check-up at our 837 Osage Ave. location.

Is it Time to Check your Brakes?

Most of us may wait until the sound or feel of braking makes us aware that our car’s brakes need to be checked.  That may not be soon enough!  Most vehicles should have their tires rotated at least every six months, and that is a good time to have the brakes inspected. A mechanic can check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the brake hardware.

So, what about brake pads?  How often should they, perhaps be replaced?  Generally speaking, brake pads should be replaced after about 50,000 miles. Now, some need to be replaced after 25,000, while others can last for 70,000 miles – it all depends on a variety of factors.  As always, consult your owner’s manual.

When it’s time to address these issues stop in or call the A-Team.  We are Able Auto Service the Kansas City area’s leading shop for brake repair and inspection.  With a location at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS we are convenient to the entire area.  Don’t wait for that annoying squeal!  Have your brakes checked at Able Auto Service.  Call ahead at (913) 321-1030.

One Pot Hole Too Many.

You finally did it, you hit that pot hole on a Kansas City roadway that messed up the suspension or alignment of your vehicle.  If we have driven long enough we know the feeling of our car wanting to pull to one side or the other.  Pot holes that pop up in our area throughout the winter are responsible for some of that.

Stay in control of your vehicle!  Not only is it a safety issue, but your tires will wear out much faster and that is an extra expense that you do not need to incur until its time has come.  Technology is an integral part of what it takes to be the best.  Staying on top of all the advances keeps us ahead of the curve (no pun intended!)

We at Able Auto Service are ready to service your vehicle and get it back on the road before your alignment causes real hazards.  We call ourselves The A-Team…a team of professional auto mechanics that will handle all of your car’s needs.  Make an appointment at our shop located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Call ahead (913) 321-1030.

How does Winter affect your Exhaust System?

Like most things in the life of your vehicle this one has a checklist as well.  Your vehicle’s exhaust system is an important part and should be checked at least once a year.  This time of year, you have to be careful of damages to your exhaust system from icy road conditions.  You MUST avoid harmful gasses seeping into your car!

Exhaust systems can be dangerous because exhaust contains carbon monoxide that could be deadly if it reaches the passenger area of your car. Carbon monoxide has no color or odor, making it difficult to detect AND lethal. Any damages and even small exhaust leaks can cause these gases to flow into your car and impair your judgement while driving.

See that…you may be overcome with noxious fumes before you realize it!  This is no time to hesitate.  Have your exhaust system checked and maintained by Able Auto Service.  The A-Team is Kansas City’s auto and exhaust system repair expert.  Make an appointment at 837 Osage Ave. by calling (913) 321-1030.
