Brake Inspection, Repair & Replacement
Your automotive brakes are one of the most important mechanisms in the whole vehicle. While on the road brakes play a vital role in your safety and that of your family.
Check the service schedule outlined in your vehicle manual to see when you should have your brakes checked. We recommend that you have your brakes inspected once per year. Brakes aren’t something to put off.
Squealing, vibration when you apply the brakes is an indicator that something is not working properly. If you push your brake pedal and your brakes feel “spongy” or “soft” that’s an indicator that your brakes require immediate attention. Such symptoms often lead to more expensive repairs when left untreated. Changing your brake pads, when needed, saves wear on your rotors. Brake pads are much cheaper to replace than your rotors.

Fog Indicator Warning Light
What Does This Warning Mean? Fog Indicator Warning Light
In order to help drivers be safe in bad weather conditions, auto manufacturers include fog lights on certain models of vehicles. These lights are positioned lower than your normal driving lights to prevent any reflected light from coming back at you. Fog also tends to hover above the ground, so these fog lights will likely be able to reach further than your regular headlights.
If it’s foggy outside, then you should be using the fog lights to help your visibility. However, many drivers forget to turn them off once the weather has cleared up. Like any light bulb, fog lights have a limited lifespan and leaving them on for too long will quickly burn them out and next time it’s foggy, your fog lights may not be functional.
When you start the car, check the dash before you set off to make sure the fog lights aren’t on unnecessarily. This way you will not burn out the lights prematurely and you’ll be able to use them next time the weather isn’t looking too great.

Is it getting tougher to see out of your rear window because of ice build up or some mist? This is an easy one to fix. This button means the car’s rear windscreen heater is on. Although most of these buttons have an automatic shut-off, switch it off once you can see clearly out of the back.
