posted on 12/23/2019 8:29:02 AM
When your vehicle is feeling sluggish, your engine is noisy or your check engine light is on, these may be warning signs that you require an oil change. Changing your oil consistently is one of the most important auto maintenance procedures to have done on any automobile. Your engine needs oil to run smoothly and avoid developing complicated and possibly expensive issues in the future like engine repairs or even a full engine replacement.    By getting your oil change regularly, you can keep yo...

Brake Repair: The Importance of Stopping Power

posted on 11/13/2019 1:06:55 PM
Good brakes are obviously very important. Having your brakes go out while you're driving is a terrifying experience. Often, the first indication that something's wrong with the brakes is an unusual sound. It could be a squeal, chatter or grinding sound. When the brake pads have been worn down to the point that they need to be replaced, your breaks will make that squealing sound. It's an early warning indicator. When you hear that sound, schedule an appointment at Bert’s Auto and Tires in Edmon...

What Happened to My Fuel Economy?

posted on 3/31/2017 1:38:26 PM
You notice that suddenly your vehicle seems to be getting worse gas mileage than it did awhile back. Why? What happened? Like with most things on your vehicle, there can be numerous problems at the root of poor fuel economy. Let’s start with the simple ones and work our way to the more complicated issues: Tires: This one’s easy. Underinflated tires mean more rolling resistance (think about riding a bike with a low tire), and more rolling resistance means poorer fuel economy. Check your tire ...

How To Maintain A New Car

posted on 3/31/2017 1:01:54 PM
So you got a new set of wheels – congratulations! You’re going to want to hang onto it as long as possible, so you’ll want to keep it maintained as well as you can. Here are some suggestions: First, read the owner’s manual carefully and stick to manufacturer’s recommendations for service intervals. There are certain things that are critical enough that failure to adhere to recommendations can void a new car warranty. Don’t let that happen! For instance, just about every manufacturer recom...

Spark Plugs – How Often Should They Be Replaced?

posted on 3/31/2017 12:32:59 PM
In the old days, a tune-up was necessary about every 35,000 miles. It would usually consist of setting the ignition timing, replacing the mechanical breaker points in the ignition, cleaning and adjusting the carburetor and replacing the plug wires and spark plugs. Today, of course, the carburetor’s job is done by fuel injection and the ignition timing and spark are controlled by the engine computer. Few vehicles still have plug wires anymore either, as the distributor was replaced by the compu...

Uh Oh…My Check Engine Light Is On

posted on 1/12/2017 12:44:02 PM
So you come out to start your car one morning and the Check Engine light on the dashboard comes on…and doesn’t go back off again. You can’t really notice any difference in the way the car runs and drives, but it’s on anyway. What does it mean? Since the late 80s, most engine functions have been controlled by a central drivetrain computer. This includes emissions controls, fuel metering and delivery, ignition timing, shift points and many other elements of drivability and performance. The dr...

Get Your Car Really, Really, REALLY Clean!

posted on 1/12/2017 12:23:07 PM
It can be a lot of work and attention to detail to get your car really clean…especially if it’s pretty dirty to start with…but here are some ideas for truly thorough cleaning that you may not have thought of! --A cheap foam paintbrush can get into crevices (like A/C vents) that might be impossible otherwise. As you loosen up dust from these spots, keep a vacuum cleaner nozzle at work in your other hand to suck up the dust and prevent it from settling other places. --A soft-bristled brush is ...

Are You Ready For A Roadside Emergency?

posted on 1/12/2017 12:00:39 PM
Yeah, yeah…your vehicle’s fairly new and you take care of it, and you’ve even got a membership in AAA. That doesn’t mean that your chances of ending up in a tight spot are zero. It’s just common sense to be prepared with a trouble bag in your car. Here’s a pretty good rundown of things you should keep in a car emergency kit: Fully charged cell phone: You may want to consider a cheap prepaid “burner phone” with a long battery life and keep it strictly in the car. If nothing else, at leas...

So You Think Some Traffic Laws Are Nuts?

posted on 10/20/2016 9:31:33 AM
Yes, there are plenty of traffic laws in certain areas that don’t make much sense. Here, though, we present a collection of traffic laws from other parts of the world that are just bizarre: --In Thailand, the law states that no driver, male or female, shall ever drive without a shirt. --In South Africa, “the driver of a vehicle on a public road shall stop such vehicle at the request or on the signal of a person leading or driving any bovine animal, horse, ass, mule, sheep, goat, pig, or ostri...
