Top Tips to Save Gas

Filling up your gas tank every week can really take a toll on your wallet. Especially if your commute to work is not right around the corner. Even if it is, you might sit in 30 minutes of traffic to get there. To help keep your wheels turning without breaking the bank, we’ve rounded up some great fuel-saving tips that will also help you keep a few bucks in your wallet!

Slow your roll
That’s right. Slowing down by just 10 mph can save you up to 25% in fuel. What’s the hurry anyway? Enjoy the ride!

Steady as she goes
It might surprise you to learn that simply maintaining the same speed can save fuel. Sudden acceleration and braking require more fuel, so accelerate and brake slowly, and use cruise control for long drives.

No pressure but check your pressure
Your tire pressure. Under or over-inflated tires are not just gas wasters, they can actually be hazardous and result in a blow-out. Check your owner’s manual for the proper PSI to inflate your tires to.

Get regular maintenance
Old spark plugs, and dirty air and fuel filters are not doing wonders to conserve fuel. Make sure you give your car the TLC it deserves by way of regular maintenance.

It’s getting hot in here
Try rolling down the windows instead of blasting the AC. Obviously, if it’s August in Miami, you may have trouble cooling off, but if it’s just a tad warm, easing up on AC use can save fuel by as much as 20%.

Take all that money you’ll be saving on fuel and do something fun with it! Do you live for the roar of an engine? If that sounds familiar – you might be perfect for a career in automotive technology. Especially if you’re looking for a career that is going to be around literally – until they invent a transporter beam. Jump start your future by checking out the Automotive Technology Program at J-Tech Institute. J-Tech is training the next generation of auto mechanics at their 168,000 square foot facility in Jacksonville, FL. Contact us today to learn more about a career that keeps motors running and people moving.

5 Big Reasons You Should Change Your Oil Regularly.

Have you ever wondered why you should change your oil regularly? If you’ve ever been reprimanded by your mechanic for waiting too long for an oil change, you know this is an essential part of basic car maintenance you can’t afford to forget.

You should change your oil regularly to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and keeps it out of the shop. If you are a first-time car owner, don’t look away! Below you’ll find out why regular oil changes are so important.

Engine Performance

There’s nothing quite like fresh oil to reach peak engine performance. Engines have a variety of parts that move at high speeds. These moving parts tend to cause friction, which produces heat. If you change your oil regularly your car will have proper lubrication that reduces the amount of heat produced by the engine. Oil changes also get rid of dirt and debris, which makes your engine run slower. If your engine heats up because of old oil, it will wear down and eventually stop working properly.

Reduce Harmful Emissions

Are you a fan of the environment? It’s easy being “green” when you keep up with your oil changes. Having lapses in oil changes can lead to dirty, old oil, which produces noxious engine emissions. If you change your oil regularly, it will make your car more environmentally friendly since fresh oil won’t burn like old oil. Add oil changes to your calendar and do your part to keep our skies clean.

Gas Mileage

Regular oil changes are good for your engine – and your wallet! Better gas mileage is one of the least-known benefits of regular oil changes. Besides purchasing a hybrid or an electric car, oil changes are an easy way to save on gas. Friction caused by old oil can slow down your engine, making your visits to the pump more frequent. If your engine stays lubricated, your car will be able to go farther than you think!

Extended Engine Life

Wouldn’t we all love to have a car that lasts for years without failure? To achieve this goal, it’s important to know that purchasing a high-quality car is only half of the effort to make the most out of your vehicle. A debris-free engine, made possible by regular oil changes, can make a difference in the life of your car. Who knows? That family car may last through more generations than you think.

Catch Up On Other Maintenance

Oil changes present a great opportunity to keep your car running without issues. When taking your car in for an oil change, feel free to ask the mechanic to take a quick look at the overall health of your engine. While under the hood, they may find something that needs to be replaced or fixed. This will allow you to avoid expensive repairs and further damage to your car.

Bonus Tip

There are multiple kinds of car oils out there. If you have a luxury car, you may need a different kind of oil from someone who owns a high-mileage mode. Before an oil change, don’t forget to ask what is the best oil for your car based on mileage and model. This can give your car an extra boost and increase the engine’s performance.

Oil is essential to keep your car running without any problems. Most mechanics or car service providers will place a sticker on your windshield indicating when you should return for a new oil change. To avoid any old oil accumulating in your engine, all you need to do is make sure you take your car in on time!

Has your vehicle's cabin air filter been inspected lately?

With the unhealthy air quality in Southern California right now, it's important to have your cabin air filter inspected and replaced, if necessary.

The climate control system in your passenger cabin includes a filter element that helps remove dust, pollen, mold spores and other particulates from the air to help you and your passengers breathe easy.

For more information, visit our website and save on preventive vehicle maintenance and oil changes!

From the reports we've received, the average automatic transmission lasts around 150,000 to 200,000 miles. The two main factors that determine how long your transmission will last are: how well you follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures and your driving habits.

Why does my car need a coolant flush?

Question: My owner’s manual says I need a cooling system flush every 60,000 miles. Is that the same as a radiator drain & fill, and do I really need it?

Answer: A cooling system flush is modern-day lingo for removing rust, dirt, sludge and dirty coolant from your radiator, water hoses, water pump and the engine’s cooling passages.

Coolant is a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water, and yes, flushing the cooling system is an important part of your car’s preventive maintenance schedule. Why? Because coolant keeps your engine from overheating—which keeps you from sitting by the side of the tollway waiting for a tow truck.

But it is not the same as a radiator drain & fill, or rather, merely draining the radiator will only remove a portion of the dirty fluid. A flush is needed to do the job properly.

What does coolant do?

Coolant flows through your radiator, water pump, water hoses and through internal engine passages to keep the engine operating at the proper temperature. If the coolant level becomes too low or too dirty and contaminated from age and miles driven, it can lead to an overheated engine. And when today’s engines overheat, it can mean a literal meltdown and extremely expensive repairs.

What is “clean” coolant?

Coolant that is still doing its job to protect your engine can be any variety of colors from green to red to orange, but the key is that it will be translucent. When it’s past its prime, it will become brownish and less clear. If it’s in really bad shape, it will be a sludgy brown.

If coolant is left to deteriorate, it can take its toll on your vehicle’s cooling system. Common signs of problems include:

A low coolant warning light
The engine temperature gauge going to the red zone
Low coolant levels
Leaking coolant
Steam from under the hood
Cool or cold air coming from your heating vents (instead of hot air)

When should I flush my coolant?

Every carmaker recommends a different schedule for flushing the coolant. While we advise using your owner’s manual as a starting point, it’s perhaps more important to regularly look at the condition of the coolant. At Ken & Ed's, we can do that for you, and we can use test strips to ensure the coolant is still able to protect your radiator and other cooling system parts. We’ll also thoroughly check the system’s other components, such as the drive belts, cooling fan, radiator, radiator hoses, water pump and even the radiator cap.

Just as good brakes are critical to the safety of your vehicle and its passengers, so are struts and shocks.

Most people think of shocks and struts as the element that keeps the vehicle from bouncing, giving us a smoother, more comfortable ride. While that is certainly true, it is also important to know that shocks and struts affect steering, braking and handling. If you feel your shocks or struts need repair, contact Ken & Ed's Auto Service in East Los Angeles. Shocks and struts can affect your ability to stop quickly in emergency situations. Bad shock absorbers can add more than a dozen feet to your stopping power, which could be the difference between avoiding a collision and crashing.
