Nitrogen gas
KES 250.00

At Safe-reach express we pride ourselves in providing services that are very essential to a vehicle’s performance and reliability. Nitrogen gas is one of those products that you only find in our modern garage. Big question is why do we put nitrogen gas in car tyres, first you need to understand what kind of gaseous properties it has. In simple terms, nitrogen is a non-toxic,non-flammable, tasteless, ordorless and colourless inert gas and it forms about 78% of the earth’s atmosphere.

Below are the advantages of filling nitrogen in tyres.
1. Reduce running temperature: Nitrogen helps to reduce the running temperature of your car’s tyres resulting in enhanced tyre life.

2. Increases tyre life: Filling nitrogen enhances tyre life. The rate of tyre wear purely depends on its operating temperature ( the tyre temperature when the vehicle is on the move). Since nitrogen reduces the working temperature, it slows the tyre wear.

3. Stable temperature than normal air: Nitrogen is also more stable than normal compressed air or oxygen. The rise in temperature of a nitrogen-filled tyre remains moderate during the heat cycle. It results in a longer tyre life.

4. Can operate in high temperatures: Generally, tyre pressure increases in high temperatures. However, tyres inflated with nitrogen offer a stable pressure range irrespective of the tyre temperature. So, you need not worry about tyres bursting in extremely high temperatures.

5. No rusting: Unlike oxygen, nitrogen does not react with metal components like the wheel rim. Hence, there are no chances of rusting. In contrast, a tyre filled with oxygen may react with the moisture inside the tyre and cause oxidation.

6. Enhances fuel efficiency: Nitrogen also has a positive impact on the fuel efficiency of your car. Since oxygen escapes faster from the tyre, it may reduce the tyre pressure. Low tyre pressure causes stress on the engine, and in turn, the fuel economy drops. Whereas nitrogen escapes slower than oxygen and retains the tyre pressure for longer. However, the improvement in fuel efficiency may not be much and you may not even notice it.

7. Improves ride quality: Nitrogen may also improve the ride quality since it retains tyre pressure more effectively. The optimum tyre pressure makes for comfortable ride quality, especially when you drive at high speeds on highways.

8. Safer tyres: Nitrogen filled tyres are also safer than tyres with normal air. That’s because the pressure range remains stable in a nitrogen tyre irrespective of the temperature.

9. The pressure range may be unstable in a normal air-filled tyre if the temperature is too hot or cold. If the temperature is too high, the tyre pressure may increase dramatically and the tyre may explode.

Car Air Condition/ Gas Refill
KES 100.00

Believe it or not, there’s no ice machine hidden inside your car A/C. That blast of chilly air is actually hot air with the heat removed during a multi-step process.
The air conditioning system cools the vehicle and its occupants especially during unbearably hot weather, here are some of the advantages of car A/C

1. A cooler, more comfortable driving experience
2. De-misted windscreen on rainy days
3. A safer drive by reducing a driver’s fatigue mostly in long distance driving
4. A more aerodynamic car in highway driving by reducing drag from open windows
5. Car is much more comfortable in the almost unpredictable traffic jams on kenya’s roads

Throttle Cleaning
KES 1,500.00

In modern fuel injected cars, the throttle body is an essential part of the air intake system, controlling the flow of air into the engine, which is used to effectively combust fuel in the pistons. Getting the right amount of air is vital. Too much air or too little air can make your engine run lean.

When the throttle body is working correctly, it is synchronized with the fuel intake and the accelerator pedal. Put the pedal down and the flow of fuel is increased into the engine and the throttle body pulls in extra air to aid combustion, allowing your vehicle to perform at the best level and run smoothly.

When the throttle body is dirty, clogged up or malfunctioning this stops the flow of air into the engine, which not only causes problems with performance, but can cause issues with unburned fuel passing through the exhaust system. Watch out for the following symptoms that serve as warning signs of dirt in the system,

1. Grime Build Up

As you would expect one of the main reasons why the throttle body needs cleaning is due to the accumulation of dirt and grime within the part, which is also known as coking. This creates a rough surface, disturbing the air-fuel flow and diminishing the effectiveness of your engine. Carbon deposits cause a similar problem by generating an uneven surface inside the part.

2. Poor Fuel Economy

Check your fuel economy. Put a full tank of fuel into your car and make a note of the kilom travelled on your gauge. Run the car till there’s no more fuel left and work out your average kms per litre. If this is significantly out by more than 10-15% then the chances are you have a clogged throttle body that’s impacting your car’s performance.

3. Poor or High Idle

When your throttle body is operating below its normal effectiveness, one of the tell-tale signs is a poor or low idle. This included stalling after coming to a stop, a low idle after starting, or stallinh when the throttle is pressed down rapidly. Dirt causes airflow into the system to be turbulent and leads to a fluctuating idle speed.

4. Uneven or Slow Acceleration

As you push down the accelerator pedal, this increases the flow of air and petrol into the engine. If there’s any dirt or coking on the throttle body this will prevent the car from picking up the power it needs from combustion. What does this feel like behind the wheel? It may be the car takes longer to get going than usual or the speed pick up in irregular bursts.

5.Electrical Problems

With so many of a modern car’s systems now being reliant on computer connections and controls, electronic wiring now serves as its nervous system. If the throttle body’s electronic sensor is covered in dirt or grime this will result in faulty or unnecessary corrections to the air-fuel mixture, which could put the car into a secondary power reduced mode.

6. Airflow Disruptions

Build ups of dirt and grime can cause airflow and pressure problems in the throttle body or the issue could be an incorrectly adjusted throttle stop, which is also part of the air intake system, which again could lead to poor performance and acceleration.

7. Check Engine Light

If the throttle body’s performance is not up to the required level this will alert the electronic throttle control, which in turn illuminates the check engine light on your dashboard. As there are a number of reasons why this could light up, it’s best to do some manual checks yourself to see if there’s dirt or carbon around the part.

How to Resolve Any Problems….

If you’re experiencing any of the problems on this list, the first place to start is looking at the throttle body housing. Any excess dirt or grime on the inner housing walls is a clear sign that you have problems with this system and the first place to start is with a thorough clean up, welcome to SAFE-REACH EXPRESS for a professional job

1. Regain Engine performance
One of the main benefits of a throttle body service is a restored engine performance. With a clean throttle body, the airflow into the engine is optimized, leading to better combustion and more efficient power delivery. This can result in smoother acceleration, better throttle response and overall enhanced performance.

2. Smoother Idle
A properly serviced throttle body can help stabilize the engine’s idle speed, leading to a smoother and more consistent idle. This can reduce rough idling, vibrations and fluctuations in RPM while the vehicle is stationary.

3.Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
Clean and optimal throttle body function ensures precise air intake, enhancing engine efficiency and resulting in improved fuel economy.

4. Reduced Emissions

Proper airflow and combustion from a clean throttle body contribute to lower emissions, aiding compliance with standards and environmental protection.

Vehicle Steering and Suspension
KES 1,000.00

WHY IS YOUR CAR’S STEERING AND SUSPENSION SO IMPORTANT ?
VEHICLE STEERING
A vehicle’s steering system is a vital part of a vehicle’s ability to move. The main functions of the steering system is to provide vehicle turning per will of the driver, directional stability, it converts the rotary movement of the steering wheel into an angular turn of front wheels and absorbs road shock from being transmitted to a driver’s hands.
A motor vehicle’s steering system contains the following basic parts:
1. Steering wheel
2. Steering shaft and column
3. Tie rods, rack, idler arms, pitman arm and drag or center link.
A power steering system contains addition components such as a
1. Power steering pump
2. Steering yoke/ damper, steering coupler and power steering hoses

VEHICLE SUSPENSION:
A car’s suspension system is responsible for smoothing out the ride and keeping the car in control. Specifically, the suspension system maximizes the friction between the tires and the road to provide steering stability and good handling. The suspension system also provides comfort for passengers to limiting the impact of particular road conditions to not only the car, but the passengers riding inside.

The suspension system is made up of several components, including the chasis, which holds the cab of the car. The springs support the vehicle weight and absorb and reduce excess energy from road shocks, along with the shock absorbers and struts. Finally, the anti-sway bar shifts the movement of the wheels and stabilizes the car.

Your car’s suspension system must be in good condition. Worn suspension components may reduce the stability of the vehicle and reduce driver control, as well as accelerate wear on other suspension system components. Replacing worn or inadequate shocks and struts will help maintain good ride control, as they:

1. Control spring and suspension movement
2. Provide consistent handling and braking
3. Prevent premature tire wear
4. Help keep the tires in contact with the road
5. Maintain dynamic wheel alignment
6. Control vehicle bounce, roll, sway, drive and acceleration squat
7. Reduce wear on other vehicle systems
8. Promote even and balanced tire and brake wear.

To keep your car’s suspension system in optimal shape, bring your car to SAFE-REACH EXPRESS SERVICE CENTRE
