Have you ever tried starting your car but only heard a clicking noise? This noise usually indicates that your car battery does not have enough power to crank over the engine to start.

Slow engine cranking when you start your car and the presence of a check engine light means that your battery is on the fritz. Look at the battery for bulging, low fluid, and corroded terminals. An old battery is the most common reason for failures, be sure to have your battery checked and/or replaced every two to three years. Most dealerships will check the life of your battery, and in the case it needs replaced they also offer replacement services.

Tire rotation is important not only to extend the life of your tires but also for safety reasons. Over a period of time, your tires start to wear. The cause is simple. Every time you turn a corner, your tires lean out causing wear on the outside of the tire. Also, poor tire alignment can cause wear even faster. It is recommended to rotate your tires every six months or 6,000 to 8,000 miles. With a proper rotation, all tires are removed from the vehicle and moved to a new position. Air pressure should be checked as well as brakes since the tires have been removed. Your tires will wear more evenly giving you a smoother ride and safer handling. Letting tires wear down without a rotation can cause tire blowouts. If this happens while driving at high speeds, the end result could be devastating. Find a professional, rotate your tires and save money. Take care of your vehicle and it will take care of you.
