Fix-A-Flat tire repair is not good for the environment, your wheels or tires. It contains Hydrocarbons (Tetrafluoro), similar to the air conditioning refrigerant in your vehicle. When exposed to moisture, it becomes corrosive. It can corrode the paint inside your wheel, the aluminum wheel itself, and/or any electronics inside, such as tire pressure monitor sensors (TPMS).

Braking is one of the most important aspects of driving a vehicle. It can be challenging to know if your brakes are in good condition without taking them into a shop for inspection, but some warning signs may indicate they need professional attention. A car with faulty brakes will not stop as quickly as one with working brake pads. This means that stopping distances will increase dramatically, and drivers could find themselves in dangerous situations on the road.

We have previously discussed the necessity for techs to buy their own tools in order to do their jobs and remain competitive in the automotive repair industry. The sheer number of tools required, as well as their cost, causes many techs a great deal of stress. This applies to hand tools as well as scanners and diagnostic tools. Should shops have to bear the cost of diagnosis by providing the necessary scan tools?

As a coach and consultant, I hear a lot of shop owners discuss productivity. Mainly, they question, “Why aren’t my people more productive?” There are a lot of potential answers, although they almost always focus on your business’ processes rather than its people. Let’s take a look at that idea: Photo by kris on Unsplash If your people aren’t as productive as you believe they should be, it is more likely due to your process than it is your people.

Shocks are one of the most overlooked components on modern vehicles. All of us can take for granted how amazing vehicles of the last few decades ride and handle compared to generations past. Shocks and struts are largely responsible for the performance we now appreciate. Properly functioning shocks and struts are also a major contributor to braking/stopping distance, emergency handling and collision avoidance.

Your vehicle’s shock absorbers dampen spring collisions to limit the amount of suspension movement. In other words, shock absorbers are what stop you from hitting your head on the ceiling of your car whenever you hit a bump or from moving from side to side when travelling on rough roads. Here are several signs that it’s time to replace your shock absorbers.

Toyota first started selling pickup trucks here in 1966, and Nissan began importing the 620 shortly after. These new imported trucks were unlike anything the domestic manufacturers were offering; aside from the reliability and durability their passenger cars were becoming famous for, they were significantly smaller and less expensive than the Chevy & GMC C/K or Ford F-Series.

THE LIFETIME PART THAT DOESN’T LAST A LIFETIME It’s something I see all the time. A client brings their car in because the brakes are squealing. We all hate that sound, and how embarrassing for your quarter million dollar car that creates such amazing engine and exhaust tones to sound like nails on a chalk board when coming to a stop. For some, this car is their daily driver, and ironically, that’s precisely the reason this squeal is happening.

While the number of road accidents in Australia has been in decline for several decades, the last couple of years have seen accident rates increase. The latest available data from 2019 shows there were 1195 accidents in 2019, a 5.9% increase on the year before. The leading cause of accidents was excess speed, followed by drink driving and fatigue. But poor vehicle maintenance, specifically, poorly maintained brakes and tyres , is also a major cause of accidents.
