The 1960 Chrysler Valiant was a ground-breaking car. It featured the newest design, material and mechanical innovations, including unibody construction, torsion bar suspension setup, a slant-six engine, state-of-the-art transmission, a new brake system, and the latest advancement, a diode-based alternator.

A torsion bar suspension system uses the "spring" that happens when a steel bar is twisted. The weight twists the steel bar which resists the twisting to give a spring-like action. These were commonly used on VWs and Porsches up until around 1990.

If you have an older car, it may still have an air conditioning system that uses a CHC-12 refrigerant, which can cause problems with the ozone layer. An auto A/C expert can go over your options for replacing the A/C system with one that uses a newer, greener refrigerant.

If a car will not start, how can you tell if the problem is caused by a bad battery or a dead alternator? Jump-start the car and then immediately remove the cables – if the car dies again right after removing the cables, chances are the issue is with the alternator.

In 1934, Chrysler continued its upscale line by introducing the Chrysler Imperial Airflow CW. This was the largest car ever made by Chrysler. It featured foldaway auxiliary seats, reading lights, cigarette lighters, and the first curved windshields on a production car.

Tires meant for multi-passenger vehicles like minivans and sedans generally come in two types: passenger and touring. Passenger tires are built for maximum handling and traction to ensure safety, while touring tires provide all the important safety features of passenger tires, while also maximizing comfort.

The laminated windshields of the 1920s and 1930s would look odd to us today. Back then, most windshields were flat, without any curves to them. Curved windshields first showed up in 1934, but didn't take off until after World War II.

Modern cars have a wide variety of computers, and that includes the sensor system. These electronic sensors can pick up vibrations and early problems before most drivers would notice anything, so it's a good idea to pay attention to them.

Did you know that the first car tires were white? In an effort to stand out, one tire manufacturer approached the Peekskill Chemical Company to see about creating a silver or gray tire. The company found that, by adding carbon black as an ingredient, the tire not only was darker, but lasted four times longer!

We all know the hazards of a frayed wire, and how it can cause problems with an electric system. The air conditioner in your car is no different. An auto A/C expert can track down the damage and repair it, then make sure it didn't cause other problems with your A/C.

The very first true suspension system finally appeared in 1804. Before then, everything was connected to a heavy undercarriage, but a new carriage started to appear that connected the body directly to the axles via leaf springs, doing away with the need for the undercarriage.

When it comes to keeping your car running properly, keeping up with the routine maintenance is the best way to prevent the breakdowns that can leave it spending more time in the shop than on the road.

If your battery has been dying recently so that you require jumpstarts, it may seem like a problem with the battery, but might actually be a problem with your alternator not working well enough to charge the battery. An alternator mechanic can figure out the problem for you.

During winter, you may want to change to a lower viscosity oil for the season, as thinner oil makes it easier to start your vehicle when the weather is cold. For this, the number before the “W” is used to determine viscosity – lower numbers, thinner oil.

Did you know that a SAT or semi-automatic transmission can be switched to a manual transmission with the push of a button? In fact, this is one of the benefits of a SAT, that it allows a driver to switch to manual transmission when he or she likes.

It’s important to remember that a time will come when the cost of repairing problems with an old radiator will outweigh the cost of replacement. If we think replacement is the more affordable option, we’ll be sure to let you know.

For the first fifty years or so, all automobiles had some form of manual transmission. People started working on automatic transmissions early in 1904, but it took a while to figure out. In fact, the first completely automatic transmission wasn’t introduced until 1940.

Like any other part of a car, the A/C unit has evolved over the years in both technology and design. This can be tricky when restoring the A/C unit on a vintage car, but fortunately A/C experts know A/C systems cold, and can help it fit together.

It's easy to see how a shock absorber works when it's compressed, but did you know it's just as effective when it's pulled? The hydraulic pressure inside provides resistance that helps keep your car's chassis from pulling back too much on the shocks.

10/15/2015

We recommend testing your automobile's battery and its electrical system before you replace the car's battery. We invite you to stop by our shop to check the battery and wiring on your car, and attend to any problems.

10/13/2015

One of the things that can cause problems with your car's air conditioner is a fluctuating voltage from the electrical system, which can cause problems with the electromagnetic clutch on the compressor, but an auto A/C expert can fix it.

Without the spark to ignite the fuel-and-air mixture in the piston, a gasoline engine won't function, which is where the distributor comes in. This directs the charge as needed to the spark plugs, so the better it works, the better your engine runs.

10/06/2015

Does it ever feel like you’re practically standing on the brakes in order to get your car to stop? While it’s natural to use a little more pressure to make a quicker stop, it’s time to bring your car in for brake service if you feel this way at every stop.

10/01/2015

Whenever you have your oil changed, you should always have your car’s tires and alignment checked. This additional act will identify problems in their early stages of development, so that repairs and ancillary damage are minimized.

If you load your car or truck to maximum capacity, or if you tow boats, trailers, or other items, air-assisted shock absorbers provide needed control and stability. Air can be added to them as needed to improve the stability of the vehicle.

The refrigerant used in your car's air conditioning system is called Freon. It may sound like a naturally occurring gas, but is actually a trademark of DuPont, and was invented in 1928. The word actually refers to a wide variety of halocarbons with different formulas.

In auto electrical systems, a blown fuse can often be indicative of other larger issues. If a fuse has blown, it is likely that the problem is a short or an overload in the circuit or component the fuse is protecting. In this case, replacing the fuse will only fix the problem temporarily.

Did you know that you need to regularly take your vehicle in for radiator maintenance? It’s recommended that this service be done at least once every 2 years, particularly if your vehicle is more than 5 years old.

09/15/2015

If your radiator is having problems, it could be because the fins are blocked or clogged by dirt that comes in with the wind. This blockage will make the dispersal of heat less effective, but fortunately, a radiator expert can help solve the problems.

09/10/2015

Fuses are included in auto electrical systems to protect components by opening when too much current is flowing in the circuit. When a fuse blows, the wire connecting each side burns open, disconnecting the circuit and preventing any major damage from taking place.

The older your car is, the more frequently you should check the oil level in the engine. If the oil level is dropping faster than you think it should be, bring it in for an inspection, as it may be a sign of a greater problem. Most problems, if addressed early, can be quickly fixed.

Worn shocks can increase the braking distance needed to stop if you are driving on rough roads. In addition, they can also increase the chances of skidding on wet surfaces, increase tire wear, and have a negative impact on the vehicle’s suspension.

09/01/2015

While the service intervals for brake inspection can be found in the maintenance section of the owner's manual for your car, it is typically recommended that you have your vehicle's brakes inspected every six months or 6,000 miles.
