| WHEEL
ALIGNMENT |
A four wheel alignment consists of adjusting
the three angles of the wheels (camber, caster and toe)
according to the specifications of the manufacturer.
|
| WHEEL BALANCING
|
Wheels should be balanced after a new tire installation
or once a year.
|
| TIRE
ROTATION |
Rotating your tires periodically is an important part
of regular maintenance. The main purpose is more uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
|
| TIRE
PRESSURE (inflation) |
It is important to check your tire pressure including
the spare tire at least once a month with an accurate tire
pressure gauge.
|
| POTHOLES |
It’s almost impossible to avoid all potholes. To
minimize the damages, keep a good distance with the vehicle
in front of you to see the potholes.
|
| WINTER |
| To drive safely in winter conditions have a complete check
up done on your car (the steering components, brakes, heater
and the fluids). |
| NITROGEN
IN TIRES |
| With nitrogen tire inflation, improvements can be noted
in a vehicle's handling, fuel efficiency and tire life through
better tire pressure retention, improved fuel economy and
cooler running tire temperatures. |
| CORNER
BALANCE |
| Corner balancing is the process of shifting the weight carried
by each wheel to approach optimal values. |
| TPMS
(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) |
| The main purpose of TPMS systems is to warn the driver if
their tires are losing air pressure, leaving the tires under
inflated and dangerous. |
