If you live in a colder climate, like we do here in Brighton, MI, your car or truck will be exposed to road salt for a significant portion of the year. While this keeps the roads passable when the snow starts to fall, salt is corrosive – which is not good news for your vehicle’s exhaust system. Many exhaust systems suffer from rust due to this corrosion.

Here at AA Muffler & Brakes, we know that time is money. The longer your fleet vehicle is out of commision, the more money you lose. Our full-service shop provides timely, professional service and quality parts at guaranteed low prices.

Here’s the scenario:

You stop at a gas station and notice that one of your tires is a little flat. You fill it with air and drive away. Much to your annoyance, within a couple of days or maybe even a week, your tires are flattening again, and they need more air. You have a slow leak. You take your tires to a garage or a tire shop, but they can’t find anything wrong. They might even dunk your tire into a tub of water to look for bubbles. Still nothing.

Maintain Vehicle Wipers, Lights, Mirrors for Safe Driving

With the holiday season upon us, many Americans are stretching their dollars to make a trip home for the holidays. While driving is the thrifty option, unexpected vehicle repairs can bust your budget this time of year.

I want you to take a moment and think back to when you first started driving all those years ago. I'm sure you remember how exciting and liberating it felt at the time. But as the years went by and you gained more experience driving around, you gradually began to notice just how dangerous the road can really be when you're not careful.

As warm and sunny days are beginning to outnumber the dark and dreary ones, it’s safe to say that summer is almost here. But just as the harsh weather of winter puts a strain on your car, so do the long, hot days of summer. So, now is the perfect time to perform some annual maintenance tasks that will keep your car running well all summer long.

As a car owner, there are many maintenance tasks you can perform to not only ensure that your car is safe to operate, but to also help you get the most out of your investment. Regular tire rotation is one such task, and while it can be easy to forget to do, it’s something that you should make a priority.

If you want to get the best performance out of your tires, it’s wise to make sure that your wheels are balanced. This not only ensures a smooth ride, but it also extends the life of your tires by helping them wear more evenly.

Not only does regular maintenance ensure that your car runs well, but it also increases the likelihood of catching potential problems before they require costly repairs.
