Yellow/Orange Lights (Check Engine, Tire Pressure): These are warnings. Your car is telling you that something is operating outside its normal parameters. You don’t need to pull over immediately on the highway, but you should schedule an appointment as soon as you can.

Red Lights (Oil Pressure, Engine Temperature, Brakes): This is an emergency. If a red light flashes or stays on, pull over safely as soon as possible and turn off the engine.

Engine misfires, a rough idle at red lights, and terrible gas mileage. Swapping out worn plugs is the absolute best low-cost way to make your car feel punchy again.

Have you ever wondered why synthetic motor oil is so highly recommended for newer cars, even though it costs a little more than conventional oil? It’s because synthetic oil was originally engineered for jet engines! Scientists needed a lubricant that wouldn’t freeze in the sub-zero upper atmosphere or instantly vaporize inside a jet turbine. Eventually, that exact same space-age technology trickled down into everyday auto repair.

Ready for a synthetic oil change? Contact the team at Don Lee's Tire & Auto in Raleigh, NC.

Ever notice that annoying, dark gray or black soot that cakes onto your clean wheels? That isn't road grime, but it’s actually tiny, microscopic shards of metal and carbon!

When you step on your brakes, your brake pads squeeze against a spinning steel rotor. The extreme friction literally shaves off microscopic layers of the pad material to slow a vehicle down. Because your front brakes do about 70% of the stopping work, your front wheels will always get dirty way faster than the rears.

If your brakes are squealing along with that dust, it means the wear indicators are doing their job. Let's get them inspected at Don Lee's Tire & Auto if you want to be sure!

If your tires are under-inflated, the rubber sidewalls flex too much, creating massive internal friction. Combine that with a car packed full of heavy summer luggage, and it’s the perfect recipe for a highway blowout. 🛞⚠️ At Don Lee's Tire & Auto, we'd like to remind you to always check your tire pressure periodically. If your tread is looking a little bald or uneven, drop by the shop in Raleigh, NC, this week.

Craving a strawberry milkshake is a summer delight, but if your mechanic mentions your transmission fluid resembles one, it's a serious car issue. Transmission fluid should be a clear, bright cherry red. Over time, heat can darken it to a burnt brown, indicating it's losing its protective qualities. However, if it appears pink, milky, and frothy, similar to a milkshake, it signals a coolant leak into your transmission. Don't let a minor leak escalate into a costly repair.
