LETS GET THAT HOT ROD ON THE STREET

 You’re a busy person — don’t let car problems get in your way. There are a wide variety of problems that can occur with your vehicle, and Performance Auto Parts has the proper equipment and experience to locate, repair and/or replace the issue quickly and effectively. Call us to ensure your vehicle is safe and sound for you and your loved ones. 

 When it comes to safety, no part of your vehicle is more important than the brakes. They should be inspected at least four times a year to determine the condition of the hydraulic system and operating hardware. While the entire braking system requires attention, the friction components (pads, shoes, rotors and drums) require constant attention because they wear down each time you apply your brakes. 

 Emissions systems first appeared on automobiles in the 60s!  Today, however, with new sticker emissions standards, the emission system has become more complex and important than ever.  Many components of the On-Board Computer System are also used in controlling and diagnosing emission control system failures.  Properly functioning emission control systems not only ensure a cleaner environment, but peak vehicle performance. 

A transmission service is part of your routine maintenance, just like replacing your engine oil.

A complete transmission service should include:
• removing and examining the sump or pan (where possible)
• replacing or cleaning the screen or filter
• cleaning the pan
• reinstalling the pan with a new pan gasket
• pumping out the rest of the old fluid and replacing it with new, high quality ATF
• adding a friction modifier or additive package (model specific)

How your heater and Air Conditioning A/C Works.

Without the heating and air conditioning systems in today’s modern vehicles, we would all be miserable driving to our destinations. We take for granted the heat that keeps us warm in the winter months, and the cool air that refreshes in the summer time. Let’s take a look at how both systems work to keep us comfortable all year round.

The heater in your car is basically a smaller version of your cooling systems radiator. Hot engine coolant is circulated through a small radiator, often times called a heater core. A fan is positioned in front of the heater core to blow cold outside air over the fins. As this air travels over the heater core, it heats up and becomes the hot air which blows out your heater vents.

Like your engines cooling system radiator, the heater core can suffer some of the same issues. If the heater core becomes clogged with rust or sludge, you will no longer have heat. Also leaks can cause a cabin full of white steam and really mess up your windows. If you smell the sweet aroma of coolant when your heater is on, chances are, you have a small leak in the heater core. Often times the heater core is buried under the dashboard, and replacing it, is a major job.

The air conditioning system in your car is comprised of a compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator. If you have ever used a can of compressed air to clean computer components, you will know that the bottle gets very cold in a short amount of time. This is due to the rapid expansion of the compressed gas. The same thing happens in your car’s air conditioning system. Refrigerant (AKA Freon) is compressed in the compressor and turns into a hot gas. In the condenser, this hot gas is cooled to a liquid state and travels to the expansion valve. As the Freon goes through the expansion valve it returns to a low-pressure gas and rapidly cools in the evaporator. A fan blows over the evaporator and cools the air that eventually blows out your vents.
