My name is Dan. My minivan tires wore out early and I had to replace them.<a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="wheel alignment Greer">What can I do to make my tires last longer</a>?</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Advantage Auto Answer:</strong><br />
Dan’s problem – premature tire wear – is very common for Greer car owners. Here are several ways to lengthen the life of your tires:</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">First, tires lose air pressure over time, so check them at least once a month and fill them up as necessary. A sticker on the driver’s side door jamb has the recommended pressure.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Tire rotation</strong> is also key for SC auto owners. Your front tires take the brunt of stopping and steering forces so they wear faster than the rear tires. They should be rotated regularly so that all four tires wear more evenly. Talk to us at Advantage Auto in Greer.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Out of balance wheels can also cause a tire to wear too fast. Greer drivers who feel a vibration in their seat or steering wheel may have a wheel out of balance.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Finally, bad wheel alignment and worn or damaged suspension can chew through a tire very quickly. Ask your caring Advantage Auto technician to have your tires inspected for signs of <strong>premature wear</strong>. Your technician will be able to pinpoint the cause and get it taken care of.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Give us a call</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Advantage Auto<br />

My name is Suzanne. We were taking a camping trip at our favorite SC state park over a three day weekend. About half way to our campsite, the transmission went out on our minivan. It took all weekend to get towed out and get back home.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">What can I do to prevent transmission problems in the future?</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Advantage Auto Answer</strong>:<br />
<strong>Transmission repairs</strong> can be expensive at Greer auto service centers. On top of that poor Suzanne was in the SC backcountry. Her vacation weekend turned into three days of car repairs.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Look, minivan transmissions are tough and durable. All you have to do to maintain them is replace the fluid on schedule. The fluid gets contaminated with bits of clutch plates and metal. Dirty transmission fluid under pressure acts like liquid sandpaper, eating away at important gaskets and seals. Then your transmission doesn’t shift as well. It can start to leak and overheat. And then you could end up like Suzanne.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Another thing: if you carry heavy loads or tow a trailer on Greer highways, your transmission is working much harder and running hotter than under normal conditions. Your transmission fluid may need to be changed sooner. Check your minivan owner’s manual for your severe service schedule or talk with your caring Advantage Auto technician about when you should have your transmission serviced.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Greer auto owners who do a lot of towing may want to consider adding an<a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="transmission repair Greer">external transmission cooler</a> to reduce transmission operating temperatures and extend its life.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Give us a call</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Advantage Auto<br />

Much of that’s because of <strong>better transmissions</strong>. To get a understanding of why that is, let’s turn to gear experts – Greer bicyclists.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">A cyclist’s cadence is the number of times per minute he or she pedals. Their ideal pedal speed is the zone where they can most efficiently generate power over a sustained period of time. The experienced cyclist uses his gears to keep his pedal speed in the ideal zone whether he’s climbing a steep Duncan hill, cruising on a flat stretch or killing a downhill.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Look at how it works: if you have a 1-speed bike, you really have to pump hard to get up to speed. And your top speed is limited by how fast as you can pedal. And if you’ve got a hill to climb – forget about it.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Now let’s add a couple of gears: one lower and another one higher. With the lower first gear, you can get up to your ideal pedal speed quicker. When you shift to second, your pedal speed drops below ideal for a while as you work to get back to peak efficiency. Same thing happens when you shift to third, but now you can go much faster than you could with a 1-speed bike using the same effort.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Add more gears and you can see that it’s much easier to maintain ideal pedal speed. The result, quicker starts, better hill climbing, higher top speed and, most of all, a lot less fatigue for the rider.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Like a cyclist, every minivan engine has an ideal engine speed called its <strong>power band</strong>. When an engine is running in that zone, it can make power very efficiently. It’s the transmission’s job to keep the engine in the power band over a wide range of operating conditions. Today 5 or 6 speed <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="car advice Greer">automatic transmissions</a>are pretty much the minimum in SC, and 7 and 8 speeds are fairly common.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Obviously these sophisticated minivan transmissions are very expensive. In fact, next to your engine, your transmission is the most expensive component in your vehicle, so it <strong>pays to take good care of it</strong>. Modern transmissions can adversely affect minivan engine performance when they aren’t working right.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">All car makers have a <strong>recommended service interval</strong> for changing your old, contaminated transmission fluid. Getting <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="transmission service Greer">transmission service</a> on schedule at Advantage Auto in Greer keeps it operating at its best and can prevent expensive damage. Ask your caring Advantage Auto service advisor if it’s time for a diagnostic examination of your transmission.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Give us a call</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Advantage Auto<br />

But a lot of Duncan auto owners don’t really know much about it.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Let’s start with conventional oil – the kind Greer folks are used to. Conventional oil is made up of naturally occurring hydrocarbon chains, which means its molecules are long and have various lengths. Like a pile of pencils, some of them new and some of them used.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Synthetic oil is man-made. Its molecules are more uniform and regular in shape – more similar to marbles than pencils. Some synthetic oil starts with a petroleum base that’s modified and others are entirely synthesized from other materials.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Synthetic motor oil works better in both hot and cold Duncan temperatures. It’s more chemically stable so it doesn’t readily evaporate or breakdown in the high heat produced inside your minivan engine. This means it resists turning to sludge, which is a real engine killer.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Remember that marbles and pencils thing we were talking about? Well, that makes synthetic oil slipperier than conventional oil which means <strong>less friction</strong> in your engine. Your minivan engine <strong>runs cooler</strong>, wears less and lasts longer. You also get a <strong>boost in power</strong> and maybe even an improvement in fuel efficiency.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Synthetic oil also lasts longer so you <strong>change it less often</strong> – which is great for the environment. With longer oil change intervals, you need an oil filter specifically built for the longer service life of synthetic oil. Talk with your caring Advantage Auto service specialist about synthetic oil and synthetic blends – they might be just what you need to<a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="car advice Greer">improve engine performance</a> and extend the life of your minivan.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Give us a call</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Advantage Auto<br />

It’s easy for Greer drivers to forget about servicing their transmission because it doesn’t need it very often, but <strong>proper transmission service</strong> keeps your minivan running smoothly and helps you avoid costly repairs down the road.<br />
<br />
The transmission undergoes a lot of stress. The grit you see in used fluid is actually bits of clutch material. This grit flowing through your transmission under pressure eats away at seals and gaskets which can lead to leaks.<br />
<br />
The transmission operates at very high temperatures – about a hundred degrees higher than engine temperatures. Those high temperatures eventually cause the transmission fluid to start to break down and lose efficiency. At best, your minivan transmission won’t operate smoothly. At worse, it could lead to <strong>costly damage</strong>. When your transmission’s running properly, it transfers more power from your minivan engine to the drive wheels, and improves gas mileage.<br />
<br />
That’s why auto manufacturers recommend you <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="Greer
how to change transmission fluid">change transmission fluid</a> at regular intervals. Your minivan owner’s manual has a <strong>schedule for transmission service</strong> and, of course, your caring Advantage Auto service advisor can tell you what the manufacturer recommends.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Hello Greer drivers – today we’re talking about<strong>suspension integrity</strong>. Your skeleton provides the structure to hold up your weight. Your joints cushion you as you walk and allow you to change direction. Your minivan’s suspension system is similar: It<strong>bears the weight of your vehicle</strong>, absorbs bumps in the road and controls the body as you steer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Like the bones in your body, minivan suspension parts are connected by joints that allow all the components to move as they should. Over time and miles, the <strong>joints start to wear</strong> and your suspension gets loose and doesn’t operate as precisely as before, <strong>reducing proper tire contact</strong> with the road. An accident, pothole or hitting a curb or rock can also damage or break minivan suspension components.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
If you’ve ever hurt your foot, you know you’ve had to walk differently to keep it from hurting as bad. Do that long enough and your ankle, knee, hip and even your back will start to hurt from the strain of not moving normally. The same thing happens in your minivan when <strong>one joint or part is worn or damaged</strong>: it stresses everything else and causes <strong>premature wear</strong> to the whole system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Signs of suspension problems include <strong>uneven tire wear</strong>, <strong>vibration</strong>, rattles or clunks when you hit a bump or turn on a windy Duncan road, or the <strong>vehicle pulls to one side</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
If you suspect a <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="auto how to videos Greer">suspension problem</a>, ask your caring Advantage Auto technician for an automotive analysis of your suspension system. They can also check your <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="wheel alignment Greer">alignment</a> while they’re at it. Taking care of a worn or damaged suspension component early, will head off future damage and costly repairs down the road.</div>

</strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Antifreeze/coolant</strong> has to move heat away from the engine to prevent costly damage.

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">That’s why we mix anti-freeze with water – it lowers the freezing point of the antifreeze/coolant, and raises the boiling point as well. A fifty/fifty blend of water and <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="Greer what type of antifreeze do I need">antifreeze</a>/coolant is the usual recommendation for SC auto owners.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">And on top of that, antifreeze/coolant has to protect the components of the minivan cooling system from corrosion. Your auto makers owners’ manual will tell you what kind of antifreeze/coolant you should use. Of course, at Advantage Auto, we can advise you on what to put in your minivan.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Cooling system failure is the most common mechanical problem Greer auto owners have.

<a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="synthetic oil Greer"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><img align="right" alt="synthetic oil Greer" src="http://image.listpipe.com/napasa-synthetic-oil-mar-15-2013.jpg" style="border: none; margin: 12px;" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
I recently saw an ad for <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="synthetic oil Greer">synthetic oil in Greer</a>. I really hadn’t heard about it before, so I asked my caring Advantage Auto service advisor for some background. Basically the inside of your engine gets really hot because of friction from the moving parts and from burning fuel. Oil lubricates the moving parts to keep them from getting too hot.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
The problem comes when oil turns to<strong>sludge</strong>, which is kind of a thick jelly. Sludge clogs up little passages so that the oil can’t protect parts of the engine. So the two best ways for Duncan drivers to prevent sludge build-up is to <strong>always change their oil on schedule</strong>; and to use <strong>synthetic oil</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Synthetic oil’s much more resistant to becoming sludge than conventional oil. My Greer service advisor says it has the added benefit of lasting longer than conventional oil so the recommended change interval can be longer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
The thing I think is cool is that <strong>synthetic oil is slipperier</strong> than conventional oil. Regular oil molecules are long chains where synthetic oil molecules are rounder. It’s like, which is slipperier, a pile of pencils or a pile of marbles? This means that <strong>synthetic oil does a better job of lubricating</strong> my engine so it doesn’t get as <strong>hot</strong>, or <strong>wear as fast</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Using synthetic oil can help Greer drivers <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="how do I get more engine power Wellford">improve engine performance</a> and help their engine last longer. I’m really glad my service advisor filled me in on synthetic oil. Maybe you should consider synthetic for your next oil change at Advantage Auto.</div>

But behind the scenes your power steering is making it easy.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">The vast majority of vehicles on Duncan freeways have <strong>hydraulic power steering systems</strong>, which means that pressurized fluid is used to help you do the work of steering. A pump pressurizes the power steering fluid to provide the boost you need. In some Greer car owners’ vehicles the pump is driven by the serpentine belt, in other there’s an electric pump.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">The problem for Greer car owners is that over time, the fluid becomes contaminated and can actually cause leaks in the hoses and connections.

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">When buying new tires in Greer, it’s best to replace both tires on the same axle in order to keep the rolling diameter as close as possible.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Greer drivers with four-wheel-drive vehicles should <strong>replace all four tires at the same time</strong> because you can run into problems if the tires have different rolling diameters due to wear or different type of tire. Four wheel drive vehicles should have all tires very close to the same rolling diameter to avoid binding and wheel hop between the front and rear axles.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Also, SC tire manufacturers recommend that if you are buying just two new tires that they be installed on the rear for<strong>safer slippery road traction</strong> – regardless of which wheels drive the vehicle.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Your <strong>suspension system</strong> keeps your car up off the road. From there, it’s responsible for a smooth and comfortable ride around Duncan. It also keeps your minivan wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves on Greer roads and interstates.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Your suspension system has many vital parts that do a big job. They should be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year. A good time would be when you get your <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="alignment check in Greer">alignment check in Greer</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Here are some warning signs of suspension problems: the minivan <strong>pulls to one side</strong>, wandering, erratic steering, uneven tire wear, leaning,<strong>shocks bottom out</strong>, poor ride or handling, oil leaking from shocks, and excessive bouncing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Now minivan suspension parts just wear out over time. <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="shocks and struts Greer">Shocks and struts</a>eventually lose their ability to control your ride. If you’re in an accident, your minivan suspension can be damaged or knocked out of alignment. Even a <strong>minor accident</strong>, like hitting a curb, pothole or large rock can mess things up.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">

<a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="Greer Car Advice"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><img align="right" alt="Greer Car Advice" src="http://image.listpipe.com/napasa-air-filter.jpg" style="margin: 12px;" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
When driving around Duncan, your minivan engine needs <strong>clean air</strong> to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually the filter gets completely full. Because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. This dirty air passes through the mass airflow sensor, and starts to accumulate on the delicate sensor element. The mass air flow sensor measures how much air is getting into your engine. When the airflow reading is incorrect, your minivan engine doesn’t get the proper amount of fuel. It runs rough and doesn’t perform as well as it should.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Eventually, the sensor is so damaged it needs to be replaced – which is pricy. In fact you could buy a case or two of air filters for the cost of a sensor replacement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Of course, that dirty air keeps on going through to your minivan engine where it’s burned along with the fuel, which dirties up your combustion chamber and increases <strong>harmful exhaust emissions</strong> – not a good thing for Greer air quality, not to mention our lungs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
When your caring Advantage Auto service advisor brings out your dirty air filter and recommends a replacement, remember the cost and poor performance that can be waiting for you down the road if you neglect this simple Advantage Auto service. Ask your Advantage Auto advisor if it’s time to <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="Greer air filter replacement">replace your engine air filter</a>.</div>

There are a lot of factors, but a big one is simply visibility: if you can’t see something, it’s hard to avoid hitting it.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">There are some things Duncan car owners can do to make sure they can see as much as possible when they’re driving in the dark. First of all, <strong>keep your windshield clean</strong>. Glare from oncoming headlights can obscure obstacles in the road. Clean off that film that builds up on the inside of your windshield. And make sure you have <strong>good wiper blades</strong> and <strong>plenty of washer fluid</strong>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Now it could be that your <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="upgraded headlights Duncan">headlights aren’t as bright as they used to be</a>. It happens – the bulbs just dim over time. If it’s been a couple of years since you replaced your headlamps and they aren’t lighting up the road like they used to, get some new ones. They make <strong>upgraded headlamps</strong> too that give you a brighter light and a larger field of vision so you can see better and further down the road. Check with your caring Advantage Auto service advisor if you want to <strong>up your headlamp performance</strong>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Another very common headlamp problem in the Duncan area is <strong>cloudy or yellowed lenses</strong>. These days lenses are plastic and they oxidize and discolor over time. Just look at the cars in the parking lot at your Duncan office building – chances are you’ll see several with cloudy lenses. This is a huge problem because some of the light coming from your headlamps gets trapped before it can even get out and shine down the road.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Replacing a set of headlight assemblies can run hundreds or even thousands of dollars in Greer. There’s an alternative that can save Greer car owners big bucks: <strong>Headlight restoration</strong>. Your Advantage Auto service advisor can remove the oxidized layer from your lenses. He’ll then polish the lenses until they’re bright and smooth. When he’s all finished, your lenses will be as good as new.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Any accident on SC roads and interstates is inconvenient and can be costly. And if someone gets hurt, well, that’s something you want to avoid at all costs. If you’re not confident driving at night in Duncan, ask your caring Advantage Auto service advisor about <strong>headlamp replacement</strong> and <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="headlamp replacement Greer">headlight restoration Greer</a>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br />

Today’s Advantage Auto article focuses on the effect of <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="Greer
tire tread depth">tire tread depth</a> on braking. When Greer and Lyman drivers talk about stopping power, they tend to focus on their brakes. But our tires are where the rubber meets the road. We have to have tires with enough traction to translate <b>braking power</b> into <b>stopping power</b>.<br />
<br />
Let’s concentrate on stopping in wet Duncan conditions. In order for a tire to have good contact with the road, it has to move the water out of the way. If it can’t move the water, the tire will actually ride on top of a thin film of water. That’s called <b>hydroplaning</b> and it is a factor in many SC auto accidents. If it’s really bad, you can actually spin out of control. At best, you won’t stop as fast.<br />
<blockquote>
Your minivan tires have channels for water to flow through. The deeper the channel, the more water it can move. A brand new tire has very deep channels and can easily move a lot of water. As the tire wears down, the channels become shallower and can move less water. <b>When it wears down enough, it can seriously affect your ability to stop on wet SC roads</b>.</blockquote>
That’s why it’s so important for Greer and Wellford motorists to replace their tires when they get worn. Consumer Reports and other advocate groups call for a standard of replacing tires when the tread is worn down to 4/32 of an inch. That’s 3.2 millimeters. By comparison, you’ve probably seen the wear indicator that’s molded into tires. When tires are worn to 3/32 of an inch, the tread wear bar is visible.<br />
<br />
And that little bit of additional tread makes a big difference. Stopping distances are cut dramatically on wet Greer surface streets and Lyman highways. A safe stop from SC freeway speeds with 4/32 of an inch of tread would result in a crash with worn out tires.<br />
<blockquote>
<b>There’s an easy way to tell when a tire’s worn to 4/32 of an inch. Just insert a quarter into the tread. Put it in upside down. If the tread doesn’t cover George Washington’s hairline, it’s time to replace your tires. With a Canadian quarter, the tread should cover the numbers in the year stamp. </b></blockquote>
You’ve probably heard of this technique using a penny and Abe Lincoln’s head. That measure gives you 2/32 of an inch – half the suggested amount.

Greer racing enthusiasts have probably heard of racing slicks. Now, slicks have no tread, but they give race cars maximum traction on dry SC racetracks. Insert a little water into the equation, however, and slicks can’t maintain control. Because there is nowhere for the water to go, the tire rides on top of a thin film of water and slides all over the place.<br />
<br />
Duncan street tires have treads that are designed to move water out from under the tire so that it can grip the road. The <b>deeper the tread, the more water it can move</b>. As tires wear they have progressively less traction on wet Greer roads. That means longer stopping distances and less traction in corners.<br />
<br />
So having enough tire tread is key for the safety of Greer drivers. There have been <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="tests comparing stopping distances Greer">tests comparing stopping distances</a> of vehicles with new tires and those with worn tires. The vehicle with <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="auto how toe Wellford">worn tires</a> is still traveling at a high rate of speed at the point at which the vehicle with new tires has already stopped. That could be the difference between getting home safely and a serious accident on a surface street or freeway.<br />
<br />
Many SC safety experts recommend you <b>replace your tires</b> when your tread is worn down to a depth of <b>4/32ths of an inch</b>. That’s the distance to George Washington’s head when a quarter is inserted upside down into the tread of a properly inflated tire.<br />
<br />
You may have heard of the same test using a penny. That gives you about 2/32ths of an inch of tread. The studies have shown a significant safety benefit in replacing tires with the quarter standard. Ask your caring <b>Advantage Auto</b> service specialist to <b>have your tires checked</b> to see how much life you have left in them.<br />

Some Duncan auto owners love driving, love their vehicles: To them, <b>picking out the right tire</b> is just as important – and just as much fun – as finding the right shoes is to a runner.<br />
<br />
Now not everyone in Duncan is like that. Many SC people have found that shopping for tires is overwhelming because there are <b>just so many choices</b>. So let’s break it down: there are four main categories of tires, depending on the kind of driving you do.<br />
<br />
First, there are <b>summer tires</b>. You would buy summer tires if you’re looking for maximum summertime performance. The rubber is a little softer to help you stick to the road in fast corners. The tread has wide blocks at the shoulder to stiffen the tire in turns. The tread design can handle rain, but really isn’t set up for snow and ice.<br />
<br />
Next comes <b>winter tires</b>. You would buy winter tires if you still like performance driving when it’s cold and slippery out, so you need a tread design that’ll really bite into ice and snow. The rubber compound is formulated to stay pliable when temperatures drop below 45 degrees so you get great traction even on dry roads. On the other end of the winter tire spectrum are tires designed to handle severe ice and snow conditions.<br />
<br />
The third category is <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="best deals on tires Greer">all-season tires</a>. Now, most new cars come with all-seasons in Duncan. The idea is a tire that you can use all-year round in SC. Naturally, the tread design and rubber compound is a compromise that won’t give you the extreme capabilities of summer or winter tires, but if your driving and weather conditions aren’t at the extreme ends of the spectrum, all-season tires might suit you just fine.<br />
<br />
The last category is <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="off road tires Greer">all-terrain tires</a>. These tires are designed for both Greer interstate and off-road use. If you need a tire that gets good traction in the dirt and is tough enough for rocks and ruts and stuff, but still performs well on the road, an all-terrain tire might be just what you need.<br />

Injector Cleaning Duncan" src="http://image.listpipe.com/napasa-fuel-injector-cleaning.jpg" style="margin: 12px;" /></a><br />
Something we hear quite frequently from Greer motorists is that their fuel efficiency is down and their minivan just doesn’t have the pep it used to. When that happens, one of the things we look for is <b>clogged fuel injectors</b>.<br />
<br />
The engine management computer tells your fuel injectors exactly when to squirt fuel into your minivan engine. It is vital that clean fuel injectors spray the right amount of gasoline or diesel fuel in a nice, specific spray pattern. <b>A dirty injector can’t spray enough fuel</b> and it comes out in an uneven, weak pattern.<br />
<br />
When Duncan motorists’ fuel injectors are dirty or clogged, the fuel just can’t burn as efficiently, which causes fuel efficiency to drop. And your minivan engine can’t make as much power.<br />
<br />
Fuel injectors just get dirty over time. Gas and diesel fuel cause varnish and gum to build up in your fuel injectors, especially if you buy bargain gas in Duncan. If your fuel injectors get too dirty, they can be damaged and need to be replaced – which can be pretty expensive.<br />
<br />
The good news is that a <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="get better gas mileage Duncan">professional fuel injector cleaning</a> at Advantage Auto in Greer can get all that gunk out of your injectors. They’ll be able to spray the right amount of fuel, at exactly the right time, and in the right spray pattern. Your <b>fuel efficiency will be restored</b> in Duncan along with your minivan engine performance. Fuel injectors are cleaned as part of a comprehensive fuel system cleaning that includes the induction system (throttle plates, intake manifold, idle air by-pass passages and, if applicable, the mass airflow sensor).<br />

Hello Greer motorists, lets talk about <b>fuel</b>. Fuel, whether gasoline or diesel, is delivered to your minivan engine to be burned to generate the power needed to keep you moving. This fuel leaves a residue as it moves through your fuel system. This may not seem like much, but it can cause big problems. Gum and varnish build up inside fuel lines, your throttle body and injectors. It’s like plaque build-up in your arteries – it restricts the free flow of fuel and can even clog your minivan <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="get better gas mileage Lyman">fuel injectors</a>.<br />
<br />
In addition, carbon from combustion starts to accumulate on your valves, inside the combustion chamber and on your pistons. This interferes with proper mixing of fuel and air and can prevent your valves from sealing properly. This means <b>less power</b>, rough running minivan engine and <b>wasted fuel</b> – and could even lead to expensive damage over time.<br />
<br />
A <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" target="_blank" title="increase engine power Startex">fuel system cleaning in Greer</a> at Advantage Auto clears out the gum and varnish from your fuel system and gets your injectors working properly, <b>restoring power</b> and <b>improving gas mileage</b>. Carbon deposits are dissolved and your minivan engine starts <b>running like new again</b>.<br />
If your engine seems sluggish and less responsive than it used to be, it might mean that you need a fuel system cleaning. Ask your caring Advantage Auto technician if a <b>fuel system cleaning</b> is right for you.<br />

Suppose on your day off you need to get gas, pick up some groceries, swing by your Greer ATM and get the kids from school. Now you could make four trips, but that would be a waste of time and money – totally inefficient. Instead you get organized and hit the ATM first and get some gas next. Then you go to your Greer supermarket and pick up the kids on the way home. Way better use of your time.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">Now you may wonder what this has to do with your minivan. Well, back in the day, each of your engine’s accessories, like the alternator and air conditioner, were powered by separate belts. A vehicle might have 5 or 6 belts. These days, vehicles have a <strong>single belt</strong> to run all the accessories. It’s called the <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="serpentine belt Greer">serpentine belt</a> because it snakes around everything, efficiently connecting the accessories – like bundling your errands.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">A pulley attached to the minivan engine’s crank provides the power to turn the serpentine belt. The belt may provide the power for the power steering pump, which makes it easier to steer your minivan. Next comes the alternator which generates electricity to run the vehicle’s electrical system and charge the battery. On to the air conditioning compressor. This helps make cold air to keep you comfortable all summer long in Greer.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">On some vehicles the water pump or radiator fan or the power brakes are also run by the serpentine belt. Some even have two serpentine belts. No matter how your engine is arranged, <strong>you aren’t going far without a serpentine bel</strong>t. Your automobile manufacturer has a recommended interval for inspecting your belt and your Duncan service professional can inspect it for damage or wear.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">Finally, there is the <strong>belt tensioner</strong>. Its job is to apply pressure on the belt to keep it tight. Several years ago, auto manufacturers started making serpentine belts out of a new material. It’s much more durable, but it’s harder to tell when the belt needs to be replaced. The old style belts would crack and chunks would fall off so you could easily see when you needed a new one.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">On the new style belts, if the ribs wear too deep, it’s time to replace. Your service professional uses a simple gauge to tell when the belt is worn and you need a <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="check serpentine belt Duncan">serpentine belt replacement</a>. A worn belt stresses your minivan engine’s expensive accessories and causes them to <strong>wear prematurely</strong>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">So, <strong>change your serpentine belt and belt tensioner as recommended</strong> by your caring Advantage Auto service professional to extend the life of your accessories and to prevent future breakdowns.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />

If it’s possible, bring the minivan in to Advantage Auto for an inspection. We can tell you if there are current or emerging problems. The peace of mind is well worth the price of the <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="auto inspections Greer">inspection service</a>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">It’s also a good idea to get on track with the maintenance schedule at Advantage Auto and stay on track. If you don’t have maintenance records for the vehicle, assume the worst and get started with an <strong>oil change</strong>. <strong>The inspection by a qualified Greer service technician that comes with a full service oil change will reveal basic problems.</strong> Be sure to bring up any specific concerns with your caring Advantage Auto service consultant.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">A more intense inspection at Advantage Auto can find hidden problems like body damage and sealer in A/C units which can be major expenses down the road. Purchasing a Carfax report may let you know if the Greer vehicle’s been in a major accident and give you a title history. You can find out if that ’71 Barracuda really was owned by a little old lady who only drove it to church in Greer on Sundays.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="Best Price On Snow Tires Greer"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><img align="right" alt="Best Price On Snow Tires Greer" src="http://image.listpipe.com/napasa-chilling-winter-tires.jpg" style="margin: 12px;" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">There’s more to <strong>winter tires</strong> than Greer drivers may think. Those days of clunky, tractor-like snow tires are long gone in SC, replaced by high-tech winter tires with special rubber compounds and advanced tread designs.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">In Greer winter temperatures, the rubber in summer tires becomes hard and inflexible and they don’t grip the road as well. In contrast, winter tires use special rubber compounds that are more pliable when the thermometer drops below 45 degrees in SC giving you better road contact; so even if you don’t get much snow, winter tires will really add to your cold weather safety in Greer.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="studded snow tires Startex">Winter tires</a> may also use a micro-pore rubber compound that increases surface area so they can bite into ice and packed snow on Greer roads and freeways.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">The tread on winter tires needs to clear out water, snow and slush as the tire turns so it’s ready to take another bite when it comes back in contact with the road. But summer tires can actually be dangerous because they get packed with snow, making them very slick, and your vehicle <strong>hard to control</strong>. Winter tires have a lot of thin slits in the tread called sipes which help the tire grab ice and packed snow, providing extra traction.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">Many new vehicles in Duncan come with <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="all-season tires Wellford">all-season tires</a> which are great for a wide range of Duncan weather and road conditions, but don’t provide top performance in SC snow and ice. For example winter tires provide 25 to 50% more traction than all-season tires. And all-season tires take up to 42% longer to stop than winter tires in slick Startex conditions.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">For all these reasons, the tire experts at Advantage Auto in Greer recommend you put winter tires on all four wheels because it makes sense to have equal traction and handling at all four corners of your vehicle. Uneven traction could result in loss of control for Duncan drivers.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">Your vehicle may be equipped with stability control, anti-lock brakes and traction control – all important safety systems for SC drivers. But in order to do their job you still need <strong>good traction</strong> in Lyman. Winter tires help you start, stop and corner when things get cold and slippery in Greer.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">So when Duncan temperatures drop below 45 degrees, be sure you have a set of four winter tires for <strong>maximum performance</strong>in snow, ice and wet Greer roads. Your caring Advantage Auto tire professional can help you find the right winter tire for your vehicle and driving needs in Greer.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />

Sometimes, a <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="car inspection Greer">courtesy car inspection</a> and a review of your service history will uncover additional items that require attention.

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">Here’s some advice: It’s not as if your caring Advantage Auto service advisor is saying “Do you want fries with that?” or “Supersize for 59 cents more.” He’s not recommending something extra or something you don’t need. <strong>Recommendations are either based on the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule or on a problem uncovered during a diagnostic examination</strong>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">An important part of the Advantage Auto service advisor‘s role is to help you understand the car makers recommendations: recommendations that cover every system on the minivan and are set by the engineers that design the minivan. If Startex folks followed every one of those recommendations they would experience <a href="http://advantageauto.napavision.com/contact-us" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="how to get better gas mileage Greer">better fuel efficiency</a>, enjoy better performance, be safer and <strong>avoid a lot of breakdowns and repairs</strong>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">The tires will wear out very quickly and will need to be replaced prematurely. It could also lead to suspension damage. Conversely, worn suspension or steering components can lead to alignment problems for Startex motorists.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><strong>But the big issue for Startex motorists is safety. When your minivan wheels are out of alignment, the vehicle will pull to one side, which could lead to an accident. When you’re out of alignment, you should have it taken care of right away at Advantage Auto.</strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">Signs of alignment problems are: Your car pulls to one side. Also, your steering wheel may not be centered when you’re going straight. If you see the edges of one or more tires rapidly wearing down, you should have your technician at Advantage Auto look it over.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><strong>If you’ve been in an accident in Startex that involved a wheel, you should get your alignment checked.</strong> A big jolt can seriously knock things out of alignment, but Startex drivers also need to understand that a series of smaller ones can add up. Worn steering or suspension components can also lead to alignment problems for Startex drivers. That’s why your minivan manufacturer recommends <strong>periodic alignment checks</strong>.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">If your minivan owner’s manual doesn’t specify, once a year might be appropriate. <strong>Or check with Tim & Shelly Reece or your service advisor at Advantage Auto in Greer. He’ll also be able to tell you if your vehicle requires a four wheel alignment or if just the front wheels can be aligned.</strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">One thing’s for sure: the cost of the alignment at Advantage Auto is cheaper than having to buy a couple of new tires because of neglect.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br />
