FAQ

How often do my car tires need to be rotated?

Not rotating your tires can be a major cause of your tires needing to be replaced faster than you may have expected. It is recommended that you rotate your tires every 5000 miles or at the recommended times provided by the manufacturer.

When should I get an engine oil change?

Vehicle manufacturer’s today recommend oil change intervals anywhere from 3000 miles to 15000 miles. Your oil change interval depends on the type of vehicle you drive, the year of your vehicle and more. Contact us today to find out how often you should be changing your oil.

My battery had to be jump started, can I smog my car?

If your battery has died, been replaced or disconnected for service, you will most likely need to drive the vehicle for a while before bringing it in for a smog. Vehicles newer than the mid to late 90's have emission data that gets stored in your onboard computer. When the battery dies or is disconnected the onboard computer loses all of its memory data. Driving the vehicle will re-store the data needed for the smog test.

Most vehicles have fairly simple drive cycles where the data is recorded in the onboard computer. For instance, driving on the freeway for 4 to 5 days, needing just 10 miles of flat freeway at a speed selected between 55 and 60mph. One 10 mile trip per day, will usually suffice to get he necessary information on your catalytic converter performance to get it through a smog test. Some vehicles have extensive drive cycle requirements.

If you replace your battery, jump start the vehicle or have had service where the battery has been disconnected, you may fail a smog test because the "monitors are not ready". This just means your computer has lost the information and you need to drive the vehicle for a bit before it has enough data to pass the smog check.
