Air Filters
Air filters are devices which use fibrous materials to remove solid contaminates from the air, such as mold, pollen, bacteria, and dust. Vehicles use two different types of air filters: automotive cabin air filters and internal combustion air filters.
Batteries
Your batteries are rechargeable, and it’s always a good idea to carry jumper cables in your vehicle in case of emergencies. You never know when you may need to jump start your vehicle, or even help out another driver in need.
Belts & Hoses
Belts and hoses are extremely important to your vehicle. They are one of the most common reasons for vehicle break down. To help prevent this, make sure your belts and hoses are checked at regular intervals
Brakes
Brakes are one of the most important components on your vehicle. You need the confidence of knowing that when you press your foot to the brake, your vehicle is going to stop. That’s why it’s important to keep these tips in mind to help keep your brakes functioning properly.
Cooling System Maintenance
Your car’s cooling system is one of the most important systems on your vehicle. Inside your engine, spark plugs ignite the fuel within the cylinders to produce small explosions which propel your vehicle down the road. With small explosions comes scorching temperatures that can destroy your engine, if not controlled.
Drive Lines
If you have experienced vibration of your vehicle while driving, chances are it could be due to driveline vibration, or the disruption in the operating angles of your driveline.
Electrical Systems
Your vehicle’s electrical system is made up of a complex network of circuits that create, store and distribute energy where it’s needed. Much of your electrical system maintenance can be done through Harris Automotive and Tire.
Engine Diagnostics
Today’s vehicles are equipped with highly sophisticated electronic engine control systems. The computer receives information from a network of sensors and switches that tells your ignition, fuel and emission control systems what to do.
Exhaust
Do you have a noisy vehicle? You may need a new muffler or exhaust system. The purpose of your exhaust system is not only to reduce the noise, but also to redirect fumes away from your vehicle. Redirecting these fumes protects passengers in the car from toxins created by burning fuel.
Fluids
Every vehicle needs several automotive fluids in order to run properly. Some of the most important fluids include engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze and power steering fluid.
Headlight Restoration
When you turn your headlights on bright, do they appear as bright as they should on dim? You may need a headlight restoration.
Heating and A/C
To keep warm and cozy or cool and comfortable, it’s best to maintain your heating & air conditioning systems with Harris Automotive and Tire.
