Hi there Ben here at Advanced Auto Tech. I want to take a second today and talk about alignments. This is an alignment machine. So this machine we hook up these targets to the vehicle and these wrap around the tire. No rim contact except for this rubber bushing right here. So that's actually an improved design. What we do with an alignment is we adjust the steering and suspension to were basically has the tires were pointing straight down the road. And as you're driving the vehicle over time hitting bumps vehicle age these specifications tend to change a little bit and when they do, they can cause a certainly a decrease in fuel economy. In addition to that they can cause tire wear. So please come in and have an alignment check at Advanced Auto Tech. We do recommend once a year to have your alignment checked. Thank You very much.  

Hi there. Ben here at Advanced Auto Tech and I want to take a minute to talk about wiper blades. We recommend replacing your vehicle’s wiper blades every year. Wiper blades deteriorate from being exposed to sunlight and this causes them to become stiff. Stiff wiper blades will not wipe your windshield properly. Replacing your wiper blades will help your visibility, especially at nighttime driving. New wiper blades help keep your windshield clear from all the different distractions of lights. Stay Safe! Thank you for watching.  

Hi there. Ben here at Advanced Auto Tech. I want to take a minute to talk about fluids in your car and when they should be serviced. For most vehicles, the transmission, brake, coolant, and power steering fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles, and differential service and manual transmission transfer case should be changed out every 75.

So, please give us a call to schedule an appointment for your vehicle’s fluid service. Thank you very much.

Important information about your tires can be found on the tire. This information includes your tire size, speed rating, load range, and date of manufacture. The manufacturer date is the last four digits of the d-o-t number. As for maintaining tires, one of the most important things you can do is to keep the tire pressure correct. For most vehicles, you can locate your tire pressure on the driver’s side door jamb, but on some vehicles, the tire pressures are located inside the gas tank flap. Another way to maintain your tires is to keep them rotated at every service interval. The reason we do this is that if they're not rotated, they will start to wear unevenly. Tires that are not rotated regularly get cupped and that causes road-noise, and it also can cause some irregular patterns in the ... read more
