We are About a Month Away from a Real Warm-up.

If you have lived in the Kansas City area for more than one summer, you know that the month of May could bring temperatures as high as the mid-80’s. So while it is only the beginning of April, it is not too early to be thinking about whether or not your vehicle is prepared when you crank up the a/c in May and beyond.

Here are some points to consider now or in the very near future –

1.  If my car’s air conditioning was running smoothly last summer should I have it checked?

2.  Will I have to buy a lot of expensive refrigerant? Probably not.

3.  Should I buy a do-it-yourself a/c recharging kit? Not a good idea.

4.  Why not wait until it just stops working?

Really? You want to wait until the blistering heat of mid-summer to address the problem? We did not think so! Why not make an appointment with the A-Team to have your vehicle’s air conditioning system checked now? The A-Team are the auto care professionals at Able Auto Center located in Kansas City KS.

I Am Exhausted

You may well be after what we have gone through in the last year. What about your car’s exhaust system? This may be a bit disturbing but, when your car is running, there are thousands of small explosions inside your engine every minute! What is happening is that it produces power by pushing against the engine’s pistons.

However, the explosions are also producing leftover gases. These gases are made up of potentially dangerous chemicals such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. That sounds like a deadly cocktail…doesn’t it? These gases need to be routed away from the engine so they don’t get into the cabin.

Exhaust systems are very necessary and may become very hazardous. It is vitally important for you to have your exhaust system checked by the A Team. Those are the expert mechanics at Able Auto Service located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS. For the Kansas City area’s sure thing in auto repair trust Able Auto Service at (913) 321-1030.

You need someone who has the immediate ability to –

When Was the Last Time You Had Your Brakes Checked?

Brakes can go bad any time of the year, but in the dead of winter it is especially important to have good working brakes on your vehicle. Remember just before the pandemic started? That was about a year ago. If you have not had your car’s brakes tested since then…it has been much longer than it should be!

Maybe you have driven a lot less in the last 12 months, but that does not mean your brakes aren’t going bad. The sounds, smells and sensations of brake problems such as screeching, grinding, squealing, rubbing, and other uncomfortable noises are common indicators that your brake pads and shoes require inspection.

Able Auto Service is the place to go in the Kansas City area to have your brakes checked. The A-Team is standing by to make sure you stop when and where you need to. Able Auto Service is located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS. They do a great deal to keep your car on the road.

The Carburetor Went the Way of the Dinosaur.

These days, the carburetor is largely extinct, being replaced by the modern fuel-injection system. Yet some drivers in the Kansas City area still seem to be stuck in the Jurassic Period. People still spend 10 minutes warming up a fuel-injected vehicle that could have been driven seconds after it was started.

Few processes in modern auto mechanics are as poorly understood as the cold-weather start. Back in the days of the good old carburetor, a car couldn't be driven until it was warmed up. Today, warming-up is a counterproductive exercise that wastes fuel, harms the environment, and even may damage your car!

Still, if your car’s exhaust system is simply exhausted count on the A-Team to make it well again. The expert mechanics at Able Auto Service are exhaust system “doctors.” They will get you back on Kansas City roads regardless of where you are in the area.
