Service Tips: How to Choose the Right Fuel Type
Today, our service team created this brief overview on how to choose the right type of fuel for your needs.
Two Main Options
While every gas pump seems to have three different grades of gas, most cars run on either regular or premium gas. The majority of vehicles utilize regular gas, while vehicles with more intricate engines – like luxury models – need premium gasoline.
Picking the Right Fuel Type
There are a couple of ways to determine which type of gas you should use. First, check out the fuel door on your car, as the information may be listed there. If it isn’t, try t...
What Causes a Dead Battery?
It’s just a fact of life that some parts of your car will eventually need to be replaced. For example, the battery is a component that typically wears out faster than others. To avoid a situation where your battery is completely dead, it’s important to know why this happens and how the right car service can prevent it.
Most batteries in both new and used vehicles fail due to one of these reasons.
You Left Something On
If you leave your lights on, chances are good that your car will give you an alert. However, you may not get an alert if a dome light is left on or a door was only slightly ajar. If something is inadvertently running for a long time, your battery will be depleted.
Extreme Weather Conditions
Most batteries are designed to work no matter what climate they're in. However, whe...
What's the Difference Between Loans and Leases?
When you're looking for a car, it’s important to know what you want, and we’re not just talking about the make and model. You also have to decide if you want to take out an auto loan – which is part of the financing process – or if a lease is the better option.
Why Take Out a Loan?
The main reason to take out an auto loan is so you can get a car without having to put down a lot of money. You’ll start by borrowing money from a lender and working out a payment plan to pay it off monthly.
You can lower the amount you’ll need to borrow with a down payment, which could come from an older car that you can use as a trade-in. It’s up to you to decide how long you want your loan to be, but it’s important to remember that the shorter it is, the larger your monthly payments will be.

How to Avoid an Engine Oil Leak
When you take care of your car, it won't only run better, but it will also be healthier, too. However, there is always the chance that some sort of issue will occur, such as an oil leak. To prevent leaks from happening, it’s important to know what causes them, as well as when you may need to seek out more than just a regular oil change service.
Old Oil Filters
There are several reasons why your oil could start leaking in your new car, including problems with your oil filter. This filter is intended to block dirt and debris from getting into your engine oil. Over time, it gets dirty and needs to be cleaned, but it gets too old and dirty, it could cause your oil to leak.
All you have to do in order to fix this leak is regularly check your filter and clean/replace it when needed.
