However the temparatures have already been drastically cold at times. Unfortunately. the vehicles that we drive can experience difficulties thay may not have in these cold times. It's a good idea to make sure your vehicle is checked out thouroughly this winter to ensure your safe and uninterrupted travel.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Fluid levels and quality should definitely be at the proper levels to avoid damage or breakdown of the vehicles moving parts. Kwik Kar can perform these tests for you at no charge.<br /> The battery is severely stressed in extreme temperatures. A simple and quick test of the battery and the charging system can be done for free at Kwik Kar<br /> Believe it or not but a good set of headlamp bulbs, working properly can assist greatly in avoiding any possible weather related road conditions. Kwik Kar can install light bulbs for just a few dollars.<br /> Tires are obviously extremely important in any weather conditions.

Don't wait until the snow and ice to find out your car needed some maintenance. And don't put off those repairs until your stuck out in it. The following is just a guideline to keep your vehicle running smoothly.<br /> <br /> * Change the oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles or according to your manufacturers specifications.<br /> <br /> * Replace any dirty air filters or fuel filters.<br /> <br /> * Have the vehicle's anifreeze inspected to determine if it needs to be replaced.<br /> <br /> * Have all the belts and hoses checked for any wear and tear.<br /> <br /> * Make sure tires have proper tread available and correct inflation.<br /> <br /> * have the battery tested for proper amperage and any possible corrosion on the terminals and cables.<br /> <br /> * Check for exhaust leaks. Many time we lut our vehicles warm up for extended periods of time in the cooler weather. An exhaust leak could prove to be dangerous.<br /> <br /> * And keep some bottled water and snacks in the vehicle just in case your vehicle leaves you stranded for a while.<br /> <br /> Any of these items can be performed by and completed by the professional staff at Kwik Kar.

Check tire pressure. Properly inflated tires can increase not only gas mileage but the life of your tires.<br /> <br /> 2. Top off all fluids (even the washer fluid) to ensure your vehicle is givng you its optimal performance.<br /> <br /> 3. Along with topping off your washer fluid make sure your wipers are in good condition.<br /> <br /> 4. Check the spare tire for poper inflation and tread wear (can't replace a flat with a flat).<br /> <br /> 5. Check the battery for proper ampereage and connectivity. Summer heat contributes to battery failure and accelerates corrosion on the battery terminals. <br /> <br /> "No one wants to have their day disrupted by a broken-down vehicle--especially when they are on vacation," says AAA Automotive Vice President Marshall L. Doney. "Many of the problems that end up with the vehicle on the back of a tow truck could have been prevented with regular maintenance."<br /> <br /> Any of these items can be checked out by the staff at Kwik Kar Automotive in Springfield, MO free of charge and in just a matter of minutes. It's also a good idea to create an emergency kit to keep in the vehicle in case of a breakdown. And be sure to include some bottled water in case of long wait times.<br /> <br /> Above all have a safe and anjoyable holiday weekend no matter where you are traveling to.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KwikKarAutomotive-SpringfieldMissouri-HomeOfThe10MinuteOilChange/~4/_a6WlF8NN64" height="1" width="1"/>Kwik Kar Automotivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299999072739591550noreply@blogger.com0http://kwikkarautomotive.blogspot.com/2010/05/memorial-day-tips.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345108749220435729.post-30699882582997048842010-05-19T07:08:00.000-07:002010-05-19T07:10:55.765-07:002010-05-19T07:10:55.765-07:00Next time your in your vehicle, look up to the left hand corner of your windshield.

Reduced Tire Wear<br /> Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tire wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tire life.<br /> <br /> 2. Better Gas Mileage<br /> Gas mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. Total alignment sets all four wheel parallel which, along with proper inflation, minimizes rolling resistance.<br /> <br /> 3. Improved Handling<br /> Does your car pull to one side? Does the steering wheel vibrate? Do you constantly have to move the steering wheel to keep your car traveling straight ahead? Many handling problems can be corrected by total alignment. With all the system components aligned properly, road shock is more efficiently absorbed for a smoother ride.<br /> <br /> 4. Safer Driving<br /> A suspension system inspection is part of our alignment procedure. This allows us to spot worn parts before they cause costly problems.<br /> <br /> <b>Important Questions About Wheel Alignment</b><br /> <br /> Q. How important is wheel alignment?<br /> <br /> A. Think of it this way. Research indicates that the average car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. A car with toe alignment just 0.34 degrees (Just 0.17 inches) out of specification has dragged its tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year!<br /> <br /> Q. What are the “symptoms” of a car that's out of alignment?<br /> <br /> A. Have your car checked if you notice:<br /> <br /> •Excessive or uneven tire wear.<br /> •Steering wheel pulls to the left or right.<br /> •Feeling of looseness or wandering.<br /> •Steering wheel vibration or shimmy.<br /> •Steering wheel is not centered when car is moving straight ahead.<br /> Q. How often should I have my car aligned?<br /> <br /> A. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation noted in your owner's manual. But, as a general rule, have your vehicle's tires checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.<br /> <br /> Kwik Kar Automotive in Springfield Missouri specializes in alignments.

One of the warning signs is brake noise, including excessive grinding, squealing, screeching or chatter. Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri will inspect your braking system for FREE!!!<br /> <br /> Check your wiper blades – Your wipers work hard all winter wiping away dirt and debris on your windshield. It is a good idea to replace them in the spring to be prepared for Spring showers and the Summer conditions. Stop by Kwik Kar Automotive in Springfield Missouri to have your wiper conditions assessed for free.<br /> <br /> Check all fluids, especially the antifreeze/coolant, to make sure they’re topped up – In the winter months, fluids are easily depleted as your engine works harder in the colder weather. Make sure to double-check all the car’s fluids regularly. Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri will check all your fluids absolutely FREE. No appointment needed.<br /> <br /> Check the battery - They work harder when it’s cold, and winter can compromise their cranking performance up to 60 percent. Test and replace old or weak batteries, especially those more than three years old. It can be cheaper than a tow and replacement on the road. And of course Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri will check your battery and charging system absolutely free.<br /> <br /> Don't forget to check Tires & wheels - Cold weather can reduce tire pressure, so make sure all tires, including the spare, are properly inflated and balanced, and wheels are properly aligned. Inflate tires to their recommended pressure. Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel economy by up to 3.3 percent, cause premature tire failure and are a safety hazard. Tire failures and blowouts, often a result of under-inflation, contribute to 414 deaths and 10,295 injuries each year in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In addition to tire pressure, check for tread wear and any obvious damage caused by potholes or sharp objects. And yes Kwik Kar in Springfield Missouri can perform these services as well. Tire pressure checks are always free.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KwikKarAutomotive-SpringfieldMissouri-HomeOfThe10MinuteOilChange/~4/9NNOG5ZknpQ" height="1" width="1"/>Kwik Kar Automotivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299999072739591550noreply@blogger.com0http://kwikkarautomotive.blogspot.com/2010/05/kwik-kar-springfield-missouri-spring.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345108749220435729.post-61928825611794241492010-05-01T09:12:00.000-07:002010-05-01T09:14:04.674-07:002010-05-01T09:14:04.674-07:003061 South Fremont Avenue, Springfield - (417) 823-8484<br /> <br /> 149 Park Central Square, Springfield - (417) 869-5100<br /> <br /> 1534 South Glenstone Avenue, Springfield - (417) 890-8333<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KwikKarAutomotive-SpringfieldMissouri-HomeOfThe10MinuteOilChange/~4/sz5QsFU1jOY" height="1" width="1"/>Kwik Kar Automotivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299999072739591550noreply@blogger.com0http://kwikkarautomotive.blogspot.com/2010/05/springfield-missouri-license-offices.html
