Headlights

Headlamp systems require periodic maintenance. Sealed beam headlamps are modular; when the filament burns out, the entire sealed beam is replaced. Most vehicles in North America made since the late 1980s use headlamp lens-reflector assemblies that are considered a part of the car, and just the bulb is replaced when it fails. Manufacturers vary the … Continued Learn More

Tune Up

The term “tune up” was originally derived from the practice of tuning an engine’s ignition timing. Modern automobiles use self-correcting, computer-controlled ignition, and so tuning is required very rarely. However, the term has survived to refer to a single service that covers multiple components, usually the following: Replacement of the fuel filter. Replacement of all … Continued Learn More

Batteries

Common causes of premature battery failure can be: Loss of electrolyte (which accounts for over 50% of the failures) due to under-hood heat or overcharging, deep discharges (leaving your lights on), misapplication or using an undersized battery, undercharging or loose alternator belt , excessive vibration (due to a loose hold own clamp), using tap water, … Continued Learn More

Factory Maintenance

If you want your vehicle to provide you with continued reliability for years to come, a regular maintenance program that the factory suggests, must be followed. Keeping to a maintenance schedule will ensure a reliable vehicle and a higher resale value. Studies have shown that a well maintained car costs about 12 cents per mile … Continued Learn More

Belts & Hoses

The timing belt is a notched rubber belt that allows the crankshaft to turn the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves in synchronicity with the movement of the pistons. A timing belt may also be called a Gilmer belt or a camshaft drive belt. If your timing belt breaks, your engine will stop … Continued Learn More

Tire Rotation

Tire rotation or rotating tires is the practice of moving automobile wheels and tires from one position on the car, to another, to ensure even tire wear. Tire wear is uneven for any number of reasons. Even tire wear is desirable to maintain consistent performance in the vehicle. Car manufacturers will recommend tire rotation frequency … Continued Learn More

Cooling System Flush

Coolant is a depletion of buffering ingredients and over time becomes extremely corrosive, literally eating holes in cooling system components. By-products of corrosion damage, as well as rust and scale, clog the passageways that conduct the water through the radiator and choke off the flow. This may result in an overheated engine that may be … Continued Learn More

Oil Change

In engines, there is inevitably some exposure of the oil to products of internal combustion, and microscopic particles accumulate in the oil during operation. Also the rubbing of metal engine parts inevitably produces some microscopic metallic particles from the wearing of the surfaces. Such particles could circulate in the oil and grind against the part … Continued Learn More

Windshield Wipers

Wiper blades are one of the most neglected components on vehicles today. Many blades are cracked, split, torn, brittle, worn or otherwise in obvious need of replacement. Others may still look good, but do a bad job of wiping when put to the test. Ninety percent of all driving decisions are based on a clear … Continued Learn More

State Inspections & Oil Changes

Maine requires all motor vehicles to undergo a safety inspection once a year. Vehicles registered in Cumberland County are also required to undergo an emissions test. Inspections are conducted at automobile dealerships, service stations and garages. To insure inspection mechanics are complying with the state’s many safety provisions, motor vehicle inspectors conduct periodic reviews of … Continued Learn More

Alignment

Wheel alignment is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car maker’s specification. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear, and to ensure that vehicle-travel is straight and true (without “pulling” to one side). Learn More
