Did you know that new tires have rubber conditioners, UV absorbers, and antiozonants that protect it from damage? The daily drive leads to a lot of dirt and debris getting trapped around your tires. It’s best to clean your tires with a non-caustic agent that’s marked safe for use with all rubber and wheels. Otherwise, you could be using a soap that will lead to the break down of rubber over time, which can cause dry rot.

In addition to cleaning with the right agents, you’ll also want to use a stiff bristle brush made from nylon…

Cold Batteries Drain Quicker

Batteries that are operating in colder temperatures will discharge significantly faster. That makes it harder for the battery to provide sufficient power to the vehicle.

Cold weather conditions are hard to avoid in some places, so the most important part about keeping a battery in good conditions during the winter is running the engine daily.

Hot Batteries Swell And Loose Fluid

The cells in a battery exposed to extreme heat will swell up and can leak out, causing decreased performance and possible battery failure.

You probably spend some time washing your vehicle throughout the year, but did you know that applying a coat of wax periodically is imperative to maintaining the quality of your automobile?

If you look into a groove and let your eyes travel along it for a few inches, you will find a wear bar. The rubber remaining above the bar is the amount of…

Your vehicle's alternator is a main component of its electrical system. Its role is to power the vehicle's starter and to recharge the battery while you drive. Our Steingold Volvo Cars team members agree that alternators are the unsung heroes of vehicle electrical systems. Here's why.

Transforming Motion Into Electricity

Car batteries have a life of about 4 years. Once your battery starts to reach this age, you may notice that you start to have problems with your battery recharging. You can measure the voltage of your battery by using a voltmeter and testing how strong your battery is.

To test your battery, make sure the car is off and the lights are turned off. Connect the red terminal first, then connect the black. Wear rubber gloves and goggles to protect yourself from battery acid. If your battery is above 12.4 volts, you don't need to get your…

Brake pads are an integral part of a vehicle's braking system. Like many people, you may realize brake pads are part of the braking system but not have a clear understanding what they actually do.

In essential terms, brake pads are components of the overall braking system that push into the brake motor itself. When that occurs, friction is created that slows down the movement of the vehicle. Brake pads are composed of two elements. First, there is a metal element known as the show. Second, there is lining in the show that is what makes direct physical contact…
