Brake Jobs:

Brake pads wear out over time requiring brake service. The amount of time they last is based on factors such as driving conditions and the way you apply your brakes.

Brake fluid is another very important component of your braking system and should not be overlooked. Periodic brake service is necessary to keep your car running safely, especially with the crazy traffic conditions.

If Your Car's Brake Light is On: This could be something very serious and should not be ignored. First check to make sure your emergency brake is not engaged. If it isn't, you could have a drop in hydraulic pressure and your brakes may be near total failure. Most likely, brake service is required and you should have them checked immediately.

Battery, Starter, Alternator, Belts, Electrical Problems:

A battery stores energy in chemical form that can be released on demand as electricity. This electrical power is used by the cars ignition system for cranking the engine.

The car's battery also may power the lights and other accessories. Should the alternator belt fail, the battery might also need to power the vehicle's entire electrical system for a short period of time.

If your alternator stops working your battery will not charge and your car will not likely start when turned off.

Tune Up: (Check Engine Light)

The word Tune-up is actually an obsolete and outdated term. Many people think their engine still needs a tune-up. What they actually need is preventive maintenance. If your Check Engine Light comes on, what you need is a diagnostic scan to determine what is causing the fault.

The same is true if your engine is hard to start, stalls, runs rough, gets poor gas mileage, or is experiencing any other kind of driveability or emission problems.

Certain parts on your car such as brakes, tires, filters, and belts do need to be replaced after a certain amount of mileage or when signs of excessive wear appear. Call kalinsauto.com

Timing Belt Replacement:

Your timing belt should be replaced every 50-70,000 miles. Carmakers have specified the replacement intervals for timing belts. In this database you will find these timing belt replacement intervals along with a little technical information regarding the valve configuration - interference or non-interference. In an interference engine, the valves and piston share the same air space. They never touch, unless your timing belt breaks or skips, and this is a catastrophic failure that requires removing the head and replacing bent valves. Non-interference engines do not risk this contact if the timing belt goes. Nonetheless, either can leave you stranded, so regular timing belt replacement is very important.
