Many times, tire problems – and the suspension problems they can create – result from lug nuts not being properly tightened after changing or rotating tires. If you do either of these as a DIY project, drive a few miles, and then double check and make sure all the lug nuts are tight.

On the outside, the shock absorber pretty much just looks like a metal tube that's attached to your car and your axle, but there's a lot going on inside. The shock absorber is a hydraulic system that takes excess energy from the bounces and distributes it into heat through the hydraulic fluid.

When you bring your car in, we’ll check your tires for you and let you know whether or not you need to replace them. In a front-wheel-drive vehicle, you can replace the back tires and move those to the front.

In most states, tire tread is worn and must be replaced when it reaches one-sixteenth of an inch. The lower the tread, the greater the stopping distance of your vehicle. To test your tread, use a quarter. If the top of Washington’s head doesn’t go into the tread at all, the tire needs to be replaced immediately.

Since the first wheel was carved thousands of years ago, it’s come a long way to become the modern marvel it is today. No doubt the ride is much smoother, but whether it be carved of wood or made of rubber, the tire is one of man’s greatest inventions, one that benefits us to this day.

Why is warming a cold car up not as important as it used to be? Because most of today’s cars have electronic fuel injection systems which adjust to a car’s temperature – when the engine is cold, the fuel injectors will stay open longer to allow more fuel into the engine.
