Auto diesel engines have been around for a long time. That longevity proves just how reliable they are. Below are a few helpful car maintenance tips, plus information on oil change intervals and which filters diesel engines require periodic replacement.
Diesel Car Maintenance Tips
As a diesel car enthusiast, I know how important it is to perform routine car maintenance. I recommend reading your owner's manual to get familiar with your car's service requirements. For people who like working on their own vehicle in their garage on the weekends, use this easy list to get started. It's also okay if you prefer to bring your diesel car to a trusted diesel service center for the car maintenance items referenced below. Either way, your diesel car will thank you for it.
Oil Change
Schedule a diesel engine oil change service every 5,000 miles or 6 months. However, if you drive in heavy traffic or frequently drive short distances, you may need to schedule an oil change service more often.

It's pretty much a given that we expect our cars to drive smoothly, be quiet, and safe. But that's not always the case, especially when automotive parts go bad. If you notice changes in your car's performance, be sure to note what happens and under what conditions. Things like a clunking noise or loose steering can indicate issues with the ball joints in your vehicle's suspension system.
What Are Ball Joints?
The front ball joints enable the front wheels to move back and forth, as well as up and down, when you turn the steering wheel while traveling over the road. When a ball joint breaks, the wheel can move in any direction, which can damage your car's fender, tire, and other suspension components.
How Do They Work?
Ball joints are part of your car's suspension, housed at the end of the control arms. Upper and lower ball joints serve as pivot points between the suspension and wheels. They have different locations and functions, depending on the vehicle design.

The weather outside is frightful, and it's time to talk about your windshield wiper fluid. With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays right around the corner, you don't want to forget to prepare your car for winter. As drivers in Midland, Mi, we know winter weather often brings freezing temperatures and icy conditions, so having the correct windshield wiper fluid is vital.
Best Windshield Wiper Fluid For Winter
Changing your vehicle's summer windshield wiper fluid to a winter blend is a great idea, especially in states that experience freezing temperatures like Midland, MI. If you want to choose the best wiper fluid for your vehicle, keep the following key points in mind.
Icy Conditions
Look for wiper fluid formulas that de-ice your windshield to remove ice and frost build-up. Icy conditions while driving in winter require an unobstructed view out your windshield.

A TPMS (short for Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device in your vehicle's tires that monitors the air pressure in the tires. The TPMS sensor alerts the driver when the tire pressure is too low. Driving your car with low tire pressure can trigger the safety system, illuminating the TPMS warning light on your dashboard. Keep reading for more info on how the TPMS works and how to spot and fix issues with the system.
What Is A Dashboard Warning Light
In general, a dashboard warning light is a safety system that helps your car communicate that something is wrong. Some dashboard symbols or warning lights are common for all vehicles, while others are unique to specific car brands. They usually light up briefly every time you start your vehicle. Once your car warms up, the lights turn off if all the systems check out okay.

It's finally happening! The weather in Midland, MI is finally starting to cool down. The evenings are even getting downright chilly. So you can imagine my disappointment and dismay when I turned on my car heater this morning to warm up, and it didn't work. That was definitely not how I wanted to start my day. If your car heater or defroster stops working, check the easy stuff first, like low coolant or a blown fuse for the blower motor. For anything else more complicated, you may need professional assistance.
How Does My Car Heater Work?
Your car heater provides driver comfort and safety, especially during colder weather. The heating system also helps defog and defrost windows. Fans draw air through the intake vents. It flows through ducts and over the heater core, which contains hot coolant from the engine's radiator.

Hello there. After the recent taste of Michigan winter weather earlier in the week are you ready? Is your vehicle ready?
Did you know that if your vehicle has the remote start feature and the CHECK ENGINE light is on, your vehicle's remote start WILL NOT WORK! Check engine lights can be tricky. A CHECK ENGINE light can mean something as simple as your gas cap is loose or it could mean something as serious as you engine needing to be serviced. If you have a CHECK ENGINE light on NOW is the best time to get your vehicle in for an inspection and service so when it is really nasty out your remote start works. So, don't delay, make an appointment by calling or using our online scheduling through our Google page today!
