The Cold Weather is Coming – Do You Need a Battery Replacement?

battery replacement

Your car battery is a key component for both starting and charging your car systems. The battery plays a significant role within your vehicles starting system by sending the needed electrical current to the vehicle starter. This allows your vehicle to start up and run as needed. Your car battery is also responsible for providing electricity to a number of other components within your vehicle, including the lights and radio when the vehicle is off or when the alternator supply has been exceeded. With this in mind, the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin wants to remind our valued clients that we are on hand to inspect your battery and provide a battery replacement if needed.

BATTERY BASICS

The majority of vehicles on the market today require the use of only one battery. However, electric vehicles and vehicles equipped with diesel engines may require additional batteries in order to power both their engines and their overall electric systems. A battery is an important component in every vehicle since an engine cannot start up without a properly running battery. With that said, it is important that individuals keep a close watch on the lifespan of their vehicle battery.

When monitoring the lifespan of your battery, if you determine that a new battery is needed, rest assured the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin has got you covered. Our team of certified mechanics is dedicated to providing all our valued clients with the highest quality car repairs and services this side of Franklin.

Our team will examine your battery and determine whether or not it is the source of the problem and whether or not a battery replacement is needed. If your battery appears to be operating properly on the surface, we will perform a full inspection to ensure it will be able to perform well going forward. New batteries when installed will typically perform at high levels for anywhere between three and five years. However, it is important to know that as a result of extreme weather conditions or in the case of failed routine maintenance, the lifespan of a battery can be reduced.

Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin we have all the right tools and equipment to test your battery and its performance since batteries can fail without ever giving a warning. Our team of specialists will review the performance of your battery and if our results indicate the need for a new battery replacement our technicians will discuss the results and recommendations with you.

Why You Should Never Skip Your Routine Oil Change

routine oil change

We all know that a routine oil change is important to the overall performance of a vehicle. The reason why is simple. When you perform routine preventative maintenance to any vehicle you add to the life expectancy of the vehicle engine. In addition, an oil change helps to ensure the reliability, performance and power of your vehicle. Overall, preventative maintenance minimizes repairs and vehicle breakdowns and makes life a whole lot easier for drivers of all ages.

DON’T SKIP THE OIL CHANGE

There are a number of reasons why you don’t want to overlook or disregard having a routine oil change performed on your vehicle. Here are a few of the top reasons why.

· Clogged filters – When dirt, debris and contaminants of all types get into the engine components, they can easily cause damage to the engine oil. The particles build up over time in the filter and eventually cause it to become clogged. This prevents the filter from cleaning the oil adequately before it makes its way through your vehicle engine. When this occurs, it is necessary to not only change the oil out, but you must also change the filter as well.

· Oil that thickens, causes damage – When the oil in your engine becomes thick and grimy, it can no longer protect your vehicle parts nor keep the vehicle temperatures at an appropriate level. When the oil thickens it becomes corrosive to your vehicle engine components and leads to damage and often times costly repairs.

· Engine failure- If you skip an oil change and allow an extended period of time to pass, chances are your engine can fail. The clean oil has a number of functions it assists with from lubrication, preventing corrosion and controlling temperature to protecting components, improving durability and maintain both efficiency and power.

· Additives within the oil wear out over time – Oil that is old and contaminated is unable to function properly or at peak levels. The additives in motor oil protect the health of your vehicle. In order to continue to effectively promote the performance and health of your vehicle, the oil needs to be changed regularly. For this reason, it is important to never skip a routine oil change.

Simple Steps to Take to Check the Motor Oil in Your Vehicle

motor oil

There isn’t anyone of us who could go without the use of our vehicles for any extended span of time. Our vehicles play a very important role in our everyday lives. With that said, the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin wants to remind our valued clients of the importance of proper vehicle care and maintenance. One important routine task is that of changing the motor oil in your vehicle. We have provided some very simple steps for you to take to change out the oil yourself if you prefer.

STEPS TO TAKE TO CHECK AND CHANGE YOUR VEHICLE’S MOTOR OIL

When you think about the last time you had an oil change, you may find that it has been quite some time. When you do not change the oil in your vehicle as often as is needed, you will find that your vehicle will burn more fuel and, over time, will run less smoothly. To help ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly and properly, we are here to instruct you on how to check and change your motor oil.

· Start by parking your vehicle on a level ground area. Wait for the engine to cool down to avoid getting burned. Once it is cool you want to open the hood of the vehicle and locate the dipstick. Pull the dipstick out and wipe it clean. Once clean, insert the stick back into its proper tube and push the stick all the way down. Pull the dipstick out again and look at the marker on the stick to see how much oil is in the tube to determine if the oil level is satisfactory or is there a need to add more oil to the vehicle.

· When more oil is needed, remove the oil filler cap on the top of your vehicle engine. Insert a funnel and add the oil slowly ensuring that you do not overfill it. This can cause problems with your vehicle engine. Wait a few moments and then check the level with the dipstick again. If you have not yet reached optimum levels, repeat the process to add more oil. Typically, your vehicle will take a quart of oil or less. Once you have added the necessary oil, then screw the oil filler cap back on and close your vehicle hood.

 

IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE

As you can see from the steps above, changing the motor oil in your vehicle is a very simple task to perform. However, often times individuals haven’t the time, the patience or even the know-how to change out their own oil. If such is the case with you, no worries. Simply head on down to our trusted facility here at Auto Clinic of Franklin and let our highly skilled technicians take care of it for you.

Simple Facts About Tire Repairs

Tire repairs

We all understand the importance of proper care and maintenance of our vehicles. Without routine maintenance, our vehicles can present with any number of performance problems as well as a minimized lifespan. Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin, our team of highly skilled and knowledgeable automotive technicians understands full well the importance of proper vehicle maintenance and repairs and that includes tire repairs as well. Our team stands ready to meet your every need.

IMPORTANT INSIGHT ON TIRE REPAIR

There are a number of repairs that can be performed on tires and our team of experts wants to offer you some important insight on tire repairs.

HOLES, PUNTURES AND TEARS

A flat tire is something that can be easily fixed and certainly is not the end of the world for your tires. Using a simple tire repair kit allows you to fix a small puncture and inflate your tire just enough to allow you to get to an auto repair and service shop. The steps to temporarily repair your damaged vehicle tire start with locating the actual hole or tear.

Begin by removing your wheel and performing an inspection of the tire looking for any signs of debris of any kind that could have caused the damage. The majority of tire tears and holes are typically caused by nails or pieces of metal and debris on the roadway. Deflate the rubber so you can remove it from the tire. Next, you want to locate the spot that has the hole so you can place the patch on the inside surface. You will need a patch kit to perform this task. Be sure to clean the surface and buff away any imperfections.

You can then take the tire patch and completely cover the identified hole or tear and create a firm seal with the chemical seal included in your kit. You should use a repair tool or even a tire retread to ensure that the inside of the tire is firmly sealed. If, however, the rip or tear is too big, then the patch in your kit may not properly seal it, but it may seal it enough to allow you to bring it to an automotive shop to confirm the integrity of the tire and its usage. Keep in mind that a patched tire will not last forever, which means you will eventually have to replace your tire or tires.

 

TIRE REPLACEMENT

A patched tire is just a temporary solution for an air leak that allows you to be able to safely drive your vehicle to a nearby auto repair shop. Following this simple temporary fix, you will have to invest in a new tire or even a set of tires. Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin we provide many of the major brands of tires along with a wide range of tire and wheel repairs and services. The brands of tires we provide include, but are not limited to, Uniroyal, Michelin, Bridgestone, Firestone, BF Goodrich and Good Year. Most of our tires come with warranties.

Top of the Line Franklin Muffler Repair Services

muffler repair

A malfunctioning muffler can be not only annoying but frustrating as well. If your muffler is damaged it will result in a very loud sound when driving it. A noticeable thumping sound is a surefire indicator that some component within your exhaust system is severely damaged or broken. Depending upon the type of muffler you have, whether equipped with baffles that reduce the noise level or not, muffler repair services may vary.

If equipped with baffles, it is important to know that the baffles themselves can become loose and break over time. This will result in a loud rattling sound coming from your muffler. Whatever the source of your muffler sound and damage may be, the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin highly recommends you address the problems sooner rather than later.

YOUR MUFFER PLAYS A SIGNFICANT ROLE IN PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The muffler on your vehicle is one of the most important components of the exhaust system. The muffler, located either in the middle or rear compartment of your exhaust system, has a primary function of reducing the overall noise level that your exhaust system produces. The muffler also is responsible for safely directing the exhaust gases out of your vehicle. For these reasons, a damaged, defective or malfunctioning muffler can contribute to high levels of noise and air pollution and cause grave harm to the environment over time.

THE MANY PROBLEMS PRESENTED WITH A MALFUNCTIONING MUFFLER

A malfunctioning or broken muffler can present with a wide range of problems. For starters, if a muffler has a hole in it, it can cause dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide, to leak into the vehicle. People who become exposed to carbon monoxide can suffer from headaches, nausea, and dizziness whether driving or sitting in the vehicle.

Further, a damaged muffler can pose a problem for individuals who live within communities that have structured regulations and guidelines with regard to noise ordinances. If you are in need of muffler repair and your vehicle is making a noticeably loud noise, you may find yourself faced with community fines until such time that you resolve the problem.

Lastly, your noisy, damaged muffler can but a damper on any long-distance drive or even on your vacation plans. Since the noise presented by a damaged muffler can be every bit annoying as it is loud, your planned fun road trip or vacation can very well be spoiled by the ongoing clatter and loud noise. A damaged muffler can also lead to other automotive issues if it is not resolved in an adequate period of time.

Understanding Those Flashing Dashboard Lights

dashboard lights

Everyone at one time or another has been faced with unsuspecting flashing lights on our dashboard that cause us grave worry. When they appear, they are not only confusing but can be frustrating and fearful as well. It is important, however, that when warning dashboard lights do appear that you immediately give focus to the warning sign and determine whether an immediate repair is needed.

The experienced team of automotive technicians here at Auto Clinic of Franklin wants to be sure that all our valued clients understand what each of the flashing dashboard lights means.

UNDERSTANDING THOSE DASHBOARD LIGHTS

  • Check Engine Light – This flashing light is warning you that one of your vehicle systems, the ignition, fuel, or emissions system has malfunctioned. If the check engine light stays on don’t delay in scheduling an auto repair service. If the light is flashing rather than steady, you need not rush, but should still make an appointment at our automotive shop sooner rather than later.
  • Brake light – The brake warning light is an indicator that something is wrong with your braking system. It could be a problem with the brake fluid level, low brake linings, or perhaps your emergency brake is stuck in the on position. Whatever the case may be, it is important to have your ABS system checked as soon as possible.
  • Oil pressure light – The oil pressure light will begin flashing when a drop in oil pressure has occurred. This may be the result of a bad oil pump, or a leak. We recommend you do not drive the car any further, but rather have the vehicle towed instead.
  • Temperature light – The Vehicle Temperature Warning Light is letting you know you’re your vehicle is overheating. More times than not, the problem is with your radiator, cooling system, a burst hose or a failed water pump. Whatever the issue, stop driving right away and let your vehicle engine cool down. We highly suggest you do not drive the vehicle further, but rather have it towed to our top-rated auto clinic here in Franklin.
