We all can’t help but feel a little dread in our stomach when we notice that our check engine light has appeared on our dashboard. We quickly put it out of our minds, especially when we have a busy day ahead of us. The team at The Auto Experts knows that sometimes a check engine light can seem scary, but ignoring a check engine light could even be scarier.  When your check engine light appears on your dashboard, it is your vehicle’s way of telling you something isn’t quite right. You can think of it as your vehicle’s main method of communication. Sometimes, the problem could be minor, and other times, it could be more major. Either way, when your car talks, it is important to listen!  The team at The Auto Experts can identify the “what, why, and how” of whatever is causing your check engine light to illuminate on your dashboard.

It is easy to forget about your vehicle's tires, but they play an essential role in your safety. Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that directly touches the road and can affect your vehicle's handling, braking, and overall ride and safety. The Auto Experts team is here to remind you to take time to take care of your tires.  Your tires need to have the proper tire pressure, tread depth, balance, and wheel alignment for optimal performance and safety. To preserve your tires' longevity and improve fuel economy, your tires need to be properly inflated. It is also important to rotate your tires. Front and back tires perform different steering and braking functions, which means they will wear out at varying paces and patterns. If you want to get the most out of your tires, tire rotation is critical. Typically, we will perform rotation every 5,000 and 7,000 miles.  Proper tire maintenance also involves tire balancing. Tire balancing ensures your tires wear o ... read more

Just like how we need fluids to stay hydrated, your vehicle does too. When your vehicle is low on fluids, your vehicle's overall performance and driveability will be negatively affected. Our team recommends sticking to a preventative maintenance schedule. This way, we can stay on top of your vehicle's fluid levels together.  The team at The Auto Experts is here to remind of which fluids are essential and why:  Oil: Your vehicle is made up of various moving parts, and to make sure all these components stay lubricated, your vehicle needs oil. Your vehicle's oil absorbs heat and prevents your engine from overheating. If your vehicle doesn't have enough oil, it might result in potentially expensive and dangerous repairs.  Transmission Fluid: Your transmission is one of your engine's most complex components, and transmission fluid is vital for your transmission's overall health. Just like how oil works, transmission fluid keeps your transmission lub ... read more
