Automotive Preventative care CARS Wellington UT

Preventative care =What's in a service check up?

If you're interested in extending the life of your vehicle as much as possible and keeping more cash in your pocket, it's wise to perform preventative care items such as oil changes and tune-ups. But what exactly is a tune-up these days?
Automobiles have become increasingly dependent on computers to run most or all of their systems such as ignition, engine performance, fuel injection and electronics. During any tune-up, a reputable mechanic will want to scan the computer for any codes that may indicate an error and check the ignition system. 

1.  Present-day tune-up at CARS should include an inspection of the vehicle’s spark plugs to see if they need to be replaced. The same goes for the spark plug wires. The vehicle’s air filter and fuel filter should also be inspected and replaced if necessary. For most vehicles, these preventative care tune-ups and inspections should start at about 60,000 miles and then be checked again at 20,000-mile intervals thereafter. This is a big change from older, more mechanically driven cars that required technicians to change the points and distributor cap as well as adjusting the carburetor, ignition point settings and timing every few thousand miles. The reliance on computers to monitor these automotive systems has now required technicians to be proficient computer software and scanning machines in order to diagnose issues.  
2. Something to be aware of also, is that if you are experiencing a performance problem like chugging or slow acceleration, it may not be related to a need for a tune-up, but a symptom of the emissions system, such as a blocked catalytic convertor, or the fuel delivery system, such as a clogged fuel injector. Take it to CARS = complete auto repair service and describe the problem so they can diagnose what the car needs 
3. One final note for drivers is to be aware that when you visit CARS repair shop and request a tune-up, this does not necessarily include an oil change or other fluid changes.  Oil changes should be done more frequently than tune-ups,  but that schedule is being extended as well to about every 5,000 to 7,500 miles - depending on the vehicle, engine size and driving - due to cleaner running engines and synthetically blended oils. Keep track of your mileage and consult with you mechanic, don't necessarily rely on the change oil light on the dash.

In any case, be sure to get an estimate for all work that is suggested and that you understand why the technician is recommending it. Working together with your trusted Mechanic, you can be reassured that you are safe on the road and keep your car running trouble-free!

Engine Repair in Utah - CARS = Complete Auto Repair Service

Did you know that C.A.R.S. = Complete Auto Repair Service near Price Utah, can repair your old motor, or put a new one in an old car and help make your dreams come true. 

Before you replace the engine in your car, get a second opinion from a trusted mechanic to ensure that you have at least two mechanics in agreement that a new engine is the only solution. When you bring the car to the second mechanic, ask for a repair estimate to fix the oil leak and to check the car out to see if the first mechanic is wrong.
If you need to replace an engine, then you'll have to carefully consider if you want to make that kind of investment. You may want to research the reliability of the year, make and model of your specific car to see if it's likely to have any other problems that would result in costly repairs.
If your car is in good condition overall, then it may make sense to keep it since the engine repair -- even though it is the most expensive repair you are likely to make -- would still be cheaper than buying a new car. A car purchase would likely cost you $30,000 or more.
There are some terrific advantages to driving an old car, including cheaper car insurance and owning your car outright. But old cars need repairs, especially those that are five years old or older. 
While it's almost always cheaper to repair your used car instead of buying a new one, you need more information before you can make a solid financial decision. Find out the answers to these questions:
How much is your car worth?  What would it cost to replace it?  . Assume for a moment that if you replaced your old car, you'd buy a new car that's a similar make and model. Do a bit of research online to determine what the new car would cost. Chances are it's at least $20,000 and possibly a lot more.
How much does the repair cost? Get a couple of quotes on the cost of the job. You can stop by a few mechanics or dealers in your area and ask them to quote the job for you. While the cost of the parts is not likely to be much different -- if it is, ask why -- labor rates can vary from shop to shop and you can possibly save some money by choosing a different mechanic.
With repairs that are roughly equal to the value of your used car or less, it makes better financial sense to make the repair versus buy a new car, since even the most expensive repairs would most likely only equal about a year of car payments on a new car.
Today, most new cars are built to last 200,000 miles or more, with a few more expensive items often needing repair at the 100,000- to 120,000-mile mark. Once your car is paid off, put aside an amount that equals about 20 percent of what your car payment was each month for repairs. This money can be used for any necessary repairs, and any excess will make a nice down payment for your next car when you're ready to buy one.  About a year of car payments on a new car.

Impacting Fuel Efficiency in you CAR

 5 Key Sensors That Impact Your Car's Fuel Efficiency

1️⃣ Oxygen Sensor

This sensor tracks unburned oxygen in exhaust gases. If it malfunctions, your car might run too rich or too lean, wasting fuel and reducing efficiency.

2️⃣ Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor measures incoming air. Faulty readings disrupt the air-fuel balance, leading to incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption.

3️⃣ Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

The TPS monitors the throttle valve's position. If it's off, your engine's efficiency takes a hit due to inaccurate air-fuel adjustments.

4️⃣ Fuel Pressure Sensor

This sensor ensures proper fuel pressure. Errors can cause an imbalance in the fuel-to-air ratio, affecting performance and fuel economy.

5️⃣ Temperature Sensor

By monitoring coolant temperature, this sensor helps optimize combustion. Faulty readings can lower fuel efficiency and strain the engine.

Stay ahead of fuel efficiency issues by keeping these sensors in check! See less

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Shopping for Auto Repairs

You can help avoid trouble with an unreliable or dishonest repair shop by following these tips:

•Ask your family, friends and co-workers for advice on reliable repair shops in your area, as well as those you should avoid.
•Keep all records, including estimates, invoices, work orders, receipts, guarantees and warranties. Besides their importance in case you file a repair complaint, these papers serve as your record of service, and could increase your vehicle's resale value.
•Don't be afraid to ask questions. Management of a shop should take the time to explain required repairs and prices, discuss problems, and tell you about the training and experience of employees.
*Make sure your vehicle is serviced at the intervals specified in your owner's manual or warranty booklet and keep very clear records of your vehicle's maintenance.

•  Do you have to return to the dealer facility for all of my car's maintenance to keep from voiding the warranty?
  The answer to this is no. You can have routine service done by any competent independent service shop or garage and still maintain your warranty.
• Do you need to use the manufacturer's original equipment parts to keep you warranty valid? maybe - Automakers cannot specify the use of their or anyone else's products for your vehicle's maintenance.
• Check your owner's manual to find out what products should be replaced and at what intervals. You may use any brand-name quality product such as CARQUEST to replace fan belts, hoses, brakes, exhausts, chassis parts, oil, or any other product needed to be replaced. ( Stated in CARQUEST Tech-Net Auto service guide)

If your car is leased are you responsible for maintenance?

•  YES! Even if you lease a vehicle you are responsible for all maintenance and repairs.

How does the quality of aftermarket products compare with original equipment products?

•  Today, many of the products are manufactured by the same supplier and may even be guaranteed longer than the original equipment products. Aftermarket products supplied by  a lot of aftermarket shops exceeds manufacture specifications.

Driving Tips for better performance CARS Carbon county Utah

Green Driving Tips
for better performance

Did you know - Smart and safe driving can improve fuel economy by up to 33%

1) Keep rolling in traffic.  it can take 20% more fuel to accelerate from a full stop than from 5mph. anticipate stops and coast as much as possible.

2)  Avoid unnecessary idling.  When you idle, you get zero miles per gallon, increase engine wear and air pollution goes up.

3)  Drive your vehicle to warm it up.  automobiles today don't need a warm-up.  Even on cold morning's, running your engine for 30 seconds is all you need.

4)  Maintain an optimum highway speed for good mileage. Even going more than 60 mph uses more fuel.    Use Cruise Control.  Cruise control helps maintain a steady speed and can provide a 7% average fuel savings.

5)  Slow down.  Fuel economy decreases about 1% for every mph over 55. 

6)  Avoid rapid Stats and Stops.  you'll maximize mileage and save dollars at the pump.

7)  Combine Trips.  you engine runs more efficiently once it's warmed up, so make it in one trip when ever you can.

WHY IS MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?
 Your vehicle has hundreds of moving parts all working together. Through normal driving, over time, some of these parts simply wear out or no longer perform the way they should.
To make sure that your vehicle is running at its best, your vehicle manufacturer recommends that certain parts and systems are checked at certain intervals. By following their recommendations, more costly repairs down the road may be avoided.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS?
 Repairs are services that are required or necessary when something on your vehicle is not working properly. Also, when your vehicle has worn to the point where a replacement is required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.
The schedule for performing these maintenance services varies from vehicle to vehicle. You will find the schedule for your vehicle in your owner's manual. Following this schedule is the best way to make sure your vehicle is performing as it should.
 We offer Maintenance Services that follow the schedule as recommended in your owner's manual.
