The air conditioning system in your car is built to work alongside your engine, which means it can withstand a certain amount of engine heat. If this engine heat gets too much, it can cause problems, but an auto A/C expert has several available solutions.

Do you know what the idle air control valve in your car does? It is an electronic motor within the car engine, typically mounted on the throttle body. Its function is that it controls idle RPM speed via commands from the engine-control computer of the car.

Over the years, a new type of disc brake was created; these are called full contact disc brakes. A standard disc brake only applies pressure to 15% of the rotor surface when the brakes are applied, but a full contact disc brake, five additional pads are used so that contact is made with 75% of the rotor’s surface.

The first car A/C units started showing up in the early 1950s, and it quickly took off running. By 1960, 20% of cars had A/C in the US, with 80% of cars in the Southwest having A/C. By 1968, the A/C was introduced as a standard feature on AMC Ambassadors.

Did you know that not all engine knocking means you need a rebuild? Sometimes the knocking is coming from the top end (or valve train), and this just means that your hydraulic valve lifters are sticking or leaking. Worn rocker arms can also cause this knocking sound, which may also be possible to repair without a full-on rebuild.

Basically, catalytic converters fail for two reasons. Either this is caused by a leak due to the presence of rust and/or corrosion or internal plugging (caused by excessive carbon buildup or a collapsed baffle or catalyst).

The first applications of condenser technology for cooling were during the 1800s. At the time, the goal was to create ice machines. Air would then be blown over the ice to cool it. Fortunately, new technology was developed in the 1900s, so we don't care ice around in our car.

Most of your car's A/C is in the engine compartment, except for one part: The evaporator. This is usually located above the footwell on the passenger side, and is where the refrigerant evaporates, taking the heat from the air around it as it does.

How does balancing help my tires? Keeping all four tires balanced ensures a smooth ride and generally leads to higher mileage. When tires are not balanced regularly – and many dealers and tire companies do it for free – the tires will wear unevenly and performance will eventually be affected.

One of the fluids that should be checked on a regular basis in your vehicle is the brake fluid. Your car should not consume brake fluid. Low brake fluid may indicate either a leak in the brake line or worn brake surfaces.

If you want increased performance from your rebuilt engine, have us install a supercharger. Superchargers are attached to engines to spin a compressing turbine that pressurizes and increases the air/fuel mixture in order to boost power.
