Transmission fluid plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle’s transmission running smoothly by lubricating moving parts, cooling the transmission, and enabling smooth gear shifts. But as it gets older, transmission fluid can become contaminated with dirt, metal particles, and other debris, which can lead to serious problems if left unaddressed. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide top-quality transmission service in Orlando, and our local mechanics can expertly handle issues with transmission fluid. Here are four signs that your transmission fluid may be contaminated. Discolored Transmission Fluid Healthy transmission fluid is typically bright red or pink in color. If the fluid appears dark brown or black, it is likely contaminated with dirt, debris, or metal shavings from the transmission components. This discoloration is a clear sign that the fluid has deteriorated and is no longer providing proper lubrication and cooling. A transmission fluid exchange is necessary to restore the fluid’s effectiveness and protect your transmission from damage. Burnt Odor Transmission fluid should have a slightly sweet or odorless smell. If you notice a burning or foul odor coming from the fluid, it’s a strong indication that the fluid is contaminated or has become overheated. Burnt fluid loses its ability to properly lubricate the transmission, leading to increased friction, heat, and wear on internal parts. In this case, replacing the fluid is crucial to prevent further issues. Delayed Gear Engagement Contaminated transmission fluid can cause delayed or hesitant gear engagement when shifting from park to drive or reverse. If you experience a noticeable delay before your car moves after shifting gears, it could be due to contaminated transmission fluid that is no longer performing as it should. Unusual Transmission Noises Unusual noises like whining, clunking, or humming coming from the transmission can also indicate contaminated fluid. Debris or metal particles in the fluid can cause increased friction between internal components, leading to abnormal sounds. These noises are often a sign that your transmission fluid is contaminated and needs to be replaced before further damage occurs.

Tire blowouts can be frightening and dangerous, especially when they occur at high speeds. Understanding the common causes of blowouts can help you take steps to prevent them, helping to ensure your safety on the road. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local auto shop provides expert tire services in the greater Orlando area. Here are four common issues that contribute to tire blowouts. Underinflation Tires that are underinflated are more susceptible to blowouts because they generate more heat as they flex under pressure. The excess heat can cause the tire's structure to weaken, leading to a blowout. It’s important to regularly check tire pressure and ensure your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended levels. Overloading Carrying more weight than your vehicle's tires are designed to handle can place excessive stress on them, making them more likely to blow out. Overloading tires causes them to overheat and wear down faster. Be mindful of your vehicle's load capacity, especially when carrying heavy cargo or towing trailers. Potholes and Road Debris Hitting potholes or running over road debris can severely damage your tires, causing them to burst. The impact from these road hazards can cause sudden tears or punctures in the tire, leading to a blowout. It’s also possible for road debris to cause lesser damage that doesn’t cause a blowout immediately, but increases the risk of one occurring further down the road. Avoid potholes whenever safely possible, and keep an eye out for sharp objects that could cause tire damage. Excessive Tire Wear As tires age and wear down, they become more prone to blowouts. Bald or excessively worn tires have a reduced tread depth, which decreases their ability to grip the road and makes them vulnerable to damage. Regularly inspect your tires for signs of wear and replace them when they are no longer safe to use.

Your vehicle's cooling system plays a vital role in keeping the engine at the optimal temperature. A coolant leak can lead to overheating, serious engine damage, and costly repairs. This makes it important to promptly alert the mechanic if you think your vehicle is leaking coolant. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide expert cooling system repair in the greater Orlando area. Here’s a look at four warning signs of a coolant leak. Puddles Under the Car One of the most obvious signs of a coolant leak is the appearance of puddles under your car. Coolant typically is brightly colored with a sweet smell. Common coolant colors include green and orange, but yours might be a different color. If you notice a bright-colored liquid pooling under your vehicle, you could be dealing with a coolant leak. Overheating Engine If your engine is consistently running hot or overheating, it could be due to a lack of coolant. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and dissipates it through the radiator. Without sufficient coolant, the engine can overheat quickly. Pay attention to your temperature gauge and any warning lights on your dashboard. Low Coolant Level Regularly checking your coolant level is a good maintenance habit. If you find yourself frequently topping off the coolant, there may be a leak somewhere in the system. A sudden drop in coolant level is a concern that you should investigate further. For safety reasons, remember to only check coolant after the engine has cooled. White Smoke from the Exhaust White smoke coming from your exhaust pipe can be a sign of a coolant leak. When coolant leaks into the engine, it can result in white smoke. This can indicate a more serious issue, such as a blown head gasket, which requires immediate attention.

When you first notice a sign of engine trouble, you’ll want to alert the mechanic. By being proactive, you’ll have the best chance to resolve the issue before it potentially leaves you stranded and costs more to fix. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide expert engine repair in the greater Orlando area. Here’s a look at six common signs of engine trouble. Check Engine Light The check engine light is your car's way of alerting you to potential problems within the engine or emissions system. While it can sometimes illuminate for minor issues like a loose gas cap, it's important not to ignore it. Common check engine light triggers include problems with catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, MAF sensors, and spark plugs. Decreased Performance If your car feels sluggish or experiences a significant drop in fuel-efficiency, there could be an underlying engine problem. Issues like clogged fuel injectors, a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, or a failing catalytic converter can all affect engine performance. Don't ignore these symptoms, as they could worsen and lead to more severe trouble. Strange Noises Unusual noises coming from your engine can indicate a range of issues, from minor problems like loose belts to more serious issues like valve problems. Squealing, grinding, knocking, or hissing sounds should never be ignored. They could signal impending trouble that needs immediate attention from the mechanic. Discolored/Excessive Exhaust Smoke Keep an eye on the color of your exhaust smoke. Blue smoke typically indicates oil burning. White smoke might mean coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber, possibly due to a blown head gasket. Black smoke often signifies an overly rich fuel mixture. Unusual Smells Pay attention to any strange odors coming from your engine or exhaust. The smell of burning oil could indicate a leak. A sweet smell might suggest a coolant leak, while a rotten egg odor could signal a problem with your catalytic converter. If you notice any unusual smells, it's best to have your car inspected by a professional. Visible Leaks Keep an eye out for any puddles or spots of fluid under your car after it's been parked. Leaks can come from various sources, including the engine, transmission, or coolant system. Identifying and addressing leaks early can prevent further damage and costly repairs.

For your engine to be in optimal health, it needs to be operating with the right level of uncontaminated oil. This makes it important to always keep up with oil changes in accordance with your manufacturer’s guidelines. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide fast oil changes in the greater Orlando, FL area. Here’s a look at four ways that regular oil changes benefit your engine. Optimal Lubrication As it ages, oil can significantly degrade, losing its lubricating properties and becoming sludgy. Regular oil changes ensure your engine receives fresh, clean oil, minimizing friction and wear between components. Proper lubrication plays a crucial role in keeping your engine running smoothly mile after mile. Cooling Effect Your engine operates under extreme conditions, generating intense heat as it combusts fuel to propel your vehicle. Without proper cooling mechanisms, this heat can damage sensitive components. Clean oil helps dissipate heat, carrying it away from critical areas and towards the oil pan, where it can disperse. Regular oil changes replenish this cooling effect, helping to keep your engine within its optimal temperature range. Improved Fuel-Efficiency Your engine's efficiency directly impacts your fuel consumption. As oil ages, it becomes less effective at lubricating moving parts. This increased friction demands more energy to overcome, leading to decreased fuel-efficiency. By regularly changing your oil and minimizing friction, your engine can operate more efficiently, which can boost gas mileage. Identify Emerging Issues When you get your oil changed by a reputable mechanic , there will be an opportunity for a highly-trained set of eyes to spot developing engine issues. Then, these issues can be addressed before they escalate and cause breakdowns and require more expensive repairs. Oil Change in Orlando, FL When it’s time for an oil change in Orlando and the surrounding area, contact Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers at  407-502-4984  .

Your car's cooling system plays a crucial role in keeping the engine operating at the optimal temperature. A malfunctioning cooling system can lead to overheating, engine damage, and costly repairs. This makes it important to alert the mechanic when you first notice evidence of a cooling system problem. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide expert cooling system repair in the greater Orlando area. Here’s a look at five warning signs of a cooling system problem. Temperature Gauge Spikes One of the most obvious signs of a cooling system problem is a sudden spike in the temperature gauge on your dashboard. If you notice the gauge moving into the red zone, it's a clear indication that your engine is overheating. This could be due to low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, a leaking radiator, or a malfunctioning water pump. Ignoring this warning sign could result in severe engine damage. Leaking Coolant Coolant is vital for regulating your engine's temperature. If you notice puddles of bright fluid underneath your car after it has been parked, it may be a coolant leak. Leaks can occur from various components such as the radiator, hoses, or water pump. When coolant is leaking, you may notice a sweet smell. Coolant leaks can lead to overheating and major engine problems. Steam or Smoke from the Engine If you see steam or smoke billowing from the hood of your car, it's a sign of serious trouble with your cooling system. Pull over safely if you notice this symptom and allow the engine to cool down before inspecting the source of the issue. Continuing to drive in this condition can cause severe damage to your engine. Abnormal Noises Problems with cooling system components may cause strange sounds. A failing water pump may make a grinding or whining noise. A faulty hose may result in a hissing noise. Any abnormal noises from under the hood should be inspected by the mechanic ASAP.

Your car's suspension system plays a crucial role in providing a smooth and safe ride. But as they age, suspension parts can wear out, leading to various issues that may compromise both safety and comfort. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide expert suspension repair in the greater Orlando, FL area. Here are five symptoms of suspension trouble. Excessive Bouncing or Dipping A properly functioning suspension system should absorb bumps and dips in the road, providing a comfortable and stable ride. If you notice excessive bouncing or dipping when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces, it could signal problems with your shocks or struts. Pulling or Drifting During Turns Your car's suspension system plays an important role in maintaining stability and control during turns. If you experience pulling or drifting when navigating corners, it could indicate issues with your suspension components. Worn-out or damaged suspension parts can affect your car's alignment, leading to uneven weight distribution and pulling to one side during turns. Uneven Tire Wear If you notice that your tires are wearing out unevenly, it could indicate issues with your suspension system. Misaligned wheels or worn-out suspension components can cause tires to make uneven contact with the road, leading to accelerated wear. Excessive Noise Over Bumps While some noise over bumps is normal, excessive or unusual noises coming from your suspension system could indicate underlying issues. Squeaking, knocking, or clunking sounds when driving over rough patches may suggest worn-out or damaged suspension components, such as bushings, ball joints, or control arms. Fluid Leaks Leakage around shock absorbers or struts can affect their performance and lead to suspension issues. Leaks should be addressed promptly by the mechanic to prevent further problems.

Your car's alternator plays a crucial role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly. Responsible for generating electrical power, the alternator charges the battery and powers various electrical components. Ignoring signs of alternator failure can lead to unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. So as soon as you suspect that an alternator issue is developing, it’s best to have the mechanic take a look. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics are highly experienced with alternator replacement and auto electric repair in the greater Orlando, FL area. Here are five symptoms of alternator trouble. Dashboard Warning Light An illuminated dashboard warning light is often the first indication of an alternator problem. Commonly, this light reads ALT or GEN or is in the shape of a little rectangular battery. Whenever a warning light comes on, it’s important to identify and address the underlying issue before it escalates. Dimming or Flickering Lights One of the early indicators of alternator trouble is the dimming or flickering of lights, both inside the car and on the exterior. The alternator supplies power to the headlights and interior lights, so if you notice them behaving erratically, it may indicate a declining alternator. Difficulty Starting the Vehicle The alternator provides the necessary power to start the engine and recharge the battery. A weak or failing alternator may not supply sufficient power for the starting process, leaving you stranded. Electrical Accessory Problems The alternator powers various electrical components, including the radio, power windows, and air conditioning. If you notice erratic behavior in these systems, it may be an indication of alternator trouble. Strange Noises A failing alternator may produce grinding or whining sounds. These noises can result from worn-out bearings or a belt issue, which are problems that should be addressed as soon as possible Alternator Replacement & Auto Electric Repair in Orlando, FL When you need auto repair in Orlando and the surrounding area, contact Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers at  (407) 502-4984  .

Your vehicle's braking system is crucial for your safety on the road. There’s simply no way to predict when a drunk or distracted driver will come barrelling toward you. When danger suddenly arises, you need your brakes to work perfectly. This makes it important to get to the shop when you first notice an indication of brake trouble. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide flawless brake repair in the greater Orlando, FL area. Here are four common symptoms of brake failure. Squeaking or Grinding Noises One of the most common signs of brake trouble is unusual noises when you apply the brakes. If you hear a high-pitched squeaking or grinding sound, it could indicate worn-out brake pads. Brake pads have a built-in indicator that makes noise when they are close to the end of their lifespan. Ignoring these sounds can lead to more extensive damage to your braking system. Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal A healthy braking system should provide a firm and responsive brake pedal. If you notice that your brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or sinks to the floor when you press it, it could be a sign of air in the brake lines or a brake fluid leak. In the event that brake fluid is leaking, you’ve got a major safety hazard and should get towed to the shop instead of driving there. Dashboard Warning Light If your dashboard displays the ABS (anti-lock braking system) warning light, it's crucial to have your brakes inspected by a professional as soon as possible. This could indicate problems such as faulty wheel speed sensors or low brake fluid. Vibrations While Braking If you feel vibrations when you apply the brakes, it could indicate warped brake rotors. Warped rotors can affect the even distribution of braking force, leading to reduced braking performance.

If you delay, the problem could soon worsen to the point that your car won’t start at all and you find yourself stranded. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics are experts at diagnosing and fixing problems that cause no-start. Here are five common reasons that vehicles won’t start. Dead Battery One of the most common reasons for a car not starting is a dead battery. Your car's battery provides the necessary electrical power to start the engine, and if it's completely drained, the engine won't crank. There are various reasons why a battery might die, including leaving lights on or an aging battery that needs replacing. Faulty Starter Motor The starter motor is responsible for turning the engine over when you turn the key. If it fails, your car won't start. Signs of a bad starter motor include a clicking noise when you turn the key, but the engine doesn't crank. Fuel System Issues If your car's engine is not getting the fuel it needs, it won't start. Common fuel system problems include a clogged fuel filter and a faulty fuel pump. You may have a fuel system problem if your car is sputtering. Ignition System Problems The ignition system is crucial for starting your car. Problems like a faulty ignition switch, ignition coil, or spark plugs can prevent the engine from firing up. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of worn-out components can help avoid these issues. Faulty Alternator The alternator charges the battery while the engine is running, and if it fails, the battery can't recharge. As a result, your car may stall, and the battery can become too weak to start the engine. Signs of alternator trouble include dimming lights and issues with electrical accessories such as power seats and power windows.

If you’re cruising down the highway and your tire suffers a blowout, then you could lose control and cause a serious accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 75,000 accidents occur each year due to tire blowouts. Staying current with tire maintenance is one way to help prevent tire blowouts from occurring. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide expert tire services in the greater Orlando area. We can help to keep your tires in great shape. And if you need a new set, we can help you out with that too. Here are three tips for reducing the risk of tire blowouts. Proper Inflation If your tires are insufficiently inflated, then their sidewalls will be more prone to flexing, which can cause heat to increase, heightening the risk of a blowout occurring. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with your psi requirement and then keep your tires inflated in accordance with that number. Also, if your TPMS warning light ever flashes on, then you’ll want to promptly find a safe place to pull over and check your tire pressure. Tire Rotation If tire tread wears down in an uneven manner, then a blowout is more likely to occur. Tire rotation helps to keep tire tread wearing down evenly, so you should always keep up with this basic maintenance task. Tires generally need to be rotated somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 miles. Replace Worn-Out Tires When tire tread gets too low, the tires are more prone to puncturing. Also, with low tread, tires may be more prone to overheating, which can increase the chance of a blowout. When your tread wears down to 4/32”, you’ll want to plan on getting a new set soon. If your tread gets all the way down to 2/32”, then you should get new tires as soon as you can.

Because overheating can cause severe engine problems, such as a cracked block, it’s highly important that your vehicle’s cooling system stays in great shape. Cooling system parts include radiators, hoses, water pumps, cooling fans, and thermostats. A problem with any of these parts can increase the chances of your engine running too hot. At the first sign of cooling system trouble, you’ll want to alert the mechanic. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide expert cooling system repair in the greater Orlando area. Warning Signs of Cooling System Trouble If your dashboard temperature gauge climbs into the red, then you’ve got a sign of cooling system trouble that should be brought to the mechanic’s attention. In this situation, you should find a safe place to park and then turn off your car. Then you can give the shop a call and provide any details about what’s happening. You can then get advice on whether it seems like you can safely drive any further, or if you should get towed to the shop so you don’t risk causing major engine problems. It’s important to be aware of signs of cooling system leaks, which are often to blame for overheating. One sign of such a leak is that your coolant warning light flashes on. With an internal coolant leak, a lot of white exhaust smoke may come out of your tailpipe, which is a symptom of a blown head gasket. If your car has an external coolant leak, then you may see bright fluid on the ground beneath it. Coolant is commonly green, but yours could be a different color like orange, yellow, or pink. With a coolant leak, fluid pressure may drop, in turn causing a reduction in the coolant’s boiling point. As a result, steam may start billowing out from under the hood.

It’s important that you’re consistently driving with the proper level of clean transmission fluid. This is because transmission fluid supplies fluid pressure, cooling, lubrication, and rust prevention. If you suspect that your transmission fluid is contaminated or leaking, then you should alert the mechanic as soon as possible. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide expert transmission service in the greater Orlando area, including transmission fluid exchanges. Signs of a Transmission Fluid Issue You could have a transmission fluid problem if you’re driving along and your car abruptly slips out of gear. This could occur if contaminants in your transmission fluid obstruct the fluid’s flow. As a result, fluid pressure drops to the extent that the car no longer stays reliably in gear. When dealing with gear slippage, it’s possible that a transmission fluid exchange will take care of the problem. Other warning signs of polluted transmission fluid include whining noises and grinding. Another common issue with transmission fluid is that a leak has formed. In many instances, transmission fluid leaks develop because of failing pan gaskets or cracked transmission lines. A sign of leaking transmission fluid is that there’s reddish-colored fluid on the pavement where you’ve been parked. And if the fluid has a somewhat sweet scent, then you have further evidence that it is indeed transmission fluid. It’s important to check your transmission fluid on a monthly basis so that you’ll become aware if your fluid is starting to burn or if its level has become concerningly low. Common symptoms of low transmission fluid include delayed shifting and rough shifting. Transmission Service in Orlando, FL When you need transmission service in Orlando and the surrounding area, contact Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers at  (407) 502-4984  .

A healthy suspension is crucial to your vehicle’s ability to handle smoothly and safely. If you suspect that suspension trouble is brewing, you’ll want to promptly visit the shop for an inspection. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide expert suspension repair in the greater Orlando, FL area. Common Symptoms of Suspension Trouble In many cases, signs of suspension trouble emerge during the braking process. A faulty suspension can cause your car to take longer to come to a complete stop after you start braking. Also, when driving with a bad suspension, it may feel like your car is lunging forward at a downward trajectory when you hit the brakes. Another common symptom of suspension trouble is that your vehicle heavily bounces when you hit any little bump along the road. And if you notice clunking noises when you drive over rough patches, then a bad spring could be the reason. Another sign of a failing spring is that your car sits lower in the affected corner. There are a few other common signs of a suspension problem that mean the mechanic should take a look. One is that your vehicle feels like it’s drifting or swaying when you go around sharp corners. Another is that there are bald spots on your tires, which may develop if a faulty suspension causes your tread to wear down in an uneven manner. Also, if there is oil leaking out onto your shocks, then it’s probably time to replace them, which is the type of task we can handle expertly at our Orlando auto shop.

With summer’s arrival, the open road is all the more enticing. Before you head out on the highway, it’s important to be sure that your car is prepared for the journey. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics can expertly complete auto maintenance in the greater Orlando area to get your car ready for your trek. Important Road Trip Auto Maintenance Tasks Certain types of maintenance should be done that help to keep the heat in check. During AC service, we’ll check over all of your AC parts to make sure they’re working strongly and can be trusted to keep you and your passengers cool when the sun cranks up the heat. And if you need any AC repairs, we can expertly complete them. It’s also a good idea to get cooling system service if you’re due. Coolant should be exchanged at intervals of 30,000 miles. When the weather is scorching, engines are more prone to overheating, which can cause major damage. With the proper level of clean coolant and healthy cooling system parts, your engine is at much less risk of overheating. It’s also important to complete maintenance measures that help to ensure your safety during your journey. One such measure is brake service, during which we’ll look over your braking system to see if it is hiding any safety concerns. And as necessary, we’ll lubricate brake parts and replace brake pads. Another important safety task is to get your battery checked. This way, you’ll know if your battery is in bad shape and likely to die during your adventure, which could potentially leave you stranded in some backwoods location. Also, you’ll want to check your tires to make sure they have a healthy level of tread and are inflated to their required psi. If your tires are under-inflated, then they’ll be more susceptible to blowing out, which could lead to a serious wreck when driving at high speeds.

For your engine to remain in optimal health, it’s crucial that you stay current with your car’s oil change schedule. In your owner’s manual, you’ll find your vehicle’s particular requirements for oil type and oil change mileage intervals. It’s important to always adhere to these specifications. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide 10-minute oil changes in the greater Orlando area. We’ll get you back on the road quickly with the right level of clean oil. Why to Follow Your Oil Change Schedule The biggest reason to alway follow your oil change schedule is that it’ll help to ensure that your engine’s moving parts stay properly lubricated, which will protect them from harsh friction that could otherwise cause major damage. Also, when you get a full-service oil change, your oil filter will be replaced. This is important because a gunky filter could prevent oil from properly moving through your engine. If your engine does become under-lubricated, you may notice certain signs such as abnormal noises coming from under the hood and/or an illuminated oil pressure warning light. It’s also important to stay current with oil changes so that contaminants don't cause your oil to become sludgy. When oil develops a sludgy consistency, it’s liable to stick to engine parts and can lead to insufficient lubrication. During an oil change, this old polluted oil will be drained and replaced with clean oil that provides healthy lubrication. Also, when driving with uncontaminated oil, it’s easier for heat to be redistributed from the combustion chamber. This helps to keep your engine temperature within a safe range. For optimal engine performance, the right amount of unpolluted oil is a necessity, helping your engine operate at peak efficiency, which could even give you an uptick in gas mileage. Also, by going to an experienced mechanic for your oil change, you’ll have a set of highly-trained eyes on your engine, which could lead to the identification of a developing issue. Then, the engine issue can be taken care of before it escalates and becomes more expensive to fix. 10-Minute Oil Change in Orlando When it’s time for an oil change in Orlando and the surrounding area, contact Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers at  (407) 502-4984  .

For optimal roadway safety, it’s critical that your brakes can be trusted to work flawlessly. You just never know when you might encounter a drunk or distracted driver. In that moment, you need your brakes to function like they should. When you first notice a symptom of failing brakes, you’ll want to get to the shop for an inspection. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, we provide expert brake repair in the greater Orlando area. Here’s a look at seven common signs of brake trouble. ABS Light Comes On Issues that can trigger the ABS light include low fluid in the reservoir and worrisome signals from wheel sensors. Whenever a dashboard warning light illuminates, it’s best to promptly figure out what is triggering it. Squealing A brake pad issue is likely to be blamed if your brakes are squealing. This sound may emerge if the little piece of metal attached to the brake pad begins rubbing against the rotor. Grinding When brake pads totally wear out, grinding can result. This can then make your discs prone to damage. It’s generally best to replace your brake pads somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 miles so that you don’t risk such damage occurring. Veering It’s a serious safety hazard if your vehicle starts drifting off to one side when you engage the brakes. This could occur if corrosion causes a caliper to seize up. Because this could place you in peril, it should be addressed by a mechanic ASAP. Soft Brake Pedal An issue relating to air or moisture in your braking system could cause the pedal to quickly sink all the way to the floor under a standard amount of pressure. Vibrating When rotors become warped, you may notice vibrations emerging from your braking system. Brake Fluid Leak Leaking brake fluid can often be found alongside a tire or below the master brake cylinder. To ensure safe brake function, you’ll want to consistently drive with the right level of fluid.

A faulty alternator can cause the battery’s power reserve to become drained to the point that the car won’t start. To prevent your alternator from leaving you stranded, you’ll want to get to the shop when you first notice a sign of trouble with it. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide expert alternator and electrical system repair in the greater Orlando, FL area. Common Symptoms of an Alternator Problem A dead battery is commonly associated with a dead battery. However, if your battery dies, you don’t need to jump to the conclusion that a faulty alternator is to blame. There are several other problems that can cause a car battery to die, such as loose/corroded connections, old age, parasitic draws, and leaving on your headlights. But if you know that none of these issues are present, then there’s a better chance that your alternator is indeed malfunctioning. Another common indication of alternator trouble is an illuminated dashboard warning light that reads ALT or GEN or flashes on in the shape of a small rectangular battery. Whenever a warning light gets triggered, it’s important to identify the underlying issue ASAP so it can be addressed before it escalates and costs more to fix. A faulty alternator can also cause electrical accessories to work poorly. In today’s vehicles, computers can commonly dictate which electrical accessories should have their power diminished when the alternator isn’t working right. This preserves more power for the vehicle’s most pressing electrical needs. But this can also lead to issues with accessories such as power seats, power windows, and the radio. Also, if your alternator isn’t working right, then your headlights may start to dim or flicker, which can pose a significant safety hazard when driving at night.

An engine rebuild is a great option for vehicles that are experiencing serious engine trouble, but are in otherwise good shape. If you do opt for an engine rebuild, it’s important that you entrust the work to a shop that specializes in this particular service. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, our local mechanics provide top-quality engine rebuilding in the greater Orlando, FL area. Here are five important steps for a successful engine rebuild. Removal and Inspection To begin the rebuild, all engine parts will be disassembled and cleaned. Following a thorough cleaning, all parts will be closely checked for signs of degradation. Then, parts that need machining will be prepared for that process. Machining Among the machining tasks that may be completed as needed are: boring/honing the engine block, crankshaft grinding, and micropolishing chamfer oil passages and bearing surfaces. If necessary, valve seals will be recut and the technician will resurface cylinder heads. Overall, machining will return parts to their former smoothness. Reassembly During engine reassembly, it’s standard for new main and rod bearings to be installed. Other new parts typically include: timing belt, seals, and gaskets. Testing Once the engine has been completely reassembled, the technician will test it for proper oil and compression. The technician will also check for any leakage and make sure any such issues are fully taken care of. Testing and retesting will be done until it is certain that the engine is operating flawlessly. Reinstallation To complete the process, the engine will be installed in the vehicle, at which point there will be final testing to ensure smooth operation. Then, you’ll be ready to roll. With basic maintenance, your rebuilt engine will run excellently for many thousands of miles to come.

If you’re traveling at high speed and a tire blows out, it can put you and other drivers in a very dangerous situation. However, by taking some simple precautions, you can help to prevent a blowout from occurring. One thing you can do is to keep up with tire maintenance. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers , we specialize in tire services in the greater Orlando, FL area. We provide expert tire maintenance, and also sell high-quality tires. We’ll make sure that you’re driving on tires that can be trusted to perform as safely as reasonably possible. Quick Tips for Preventing Tire Blowouts By staying current with your tire rotation schedule, you can reduce your risk of a blowout. Generally, tires are supposed to be rotated at a point between 6,000 and 8,000 miles. When tire tread wears down unevenly, there’s a greater chance of a blowout, so you’ll want to make sure you always follow your schedule for this service so that your tread wears down in a more even manner. Another way to reduce the risk of a blowout is to make sure you’re driving with correct tire pressure. You should check your psi specification and then keep your tires inflated accordingly. When tires are under-inflated, the tires’ sidewalls are liable to flex more, which causes heat to build up, increasing the chances of a blowout. And if your TPMS warning light comes on, you’ll want to check your tire pressure as soon as safely possible. You can also help to prevent a blowout by replacing your tires when they wear out. When tire tread gets down to 4/32”, it’s time to start looking into your next set. And if your tread reaches 2/32”, then you’ll want to get new tires ASAP. When driving with low tread, tires can heat up more rapidly, which makes them more susceptible to blowing out.

Because major transmission problems can be extremely expensive to fix, it’s worth taking some basic precautions to prevent them. If you do suspect that transmission trouble is brewing, you’ll want to promptly visit the shop for an inspection. At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers , our local mechanics provide expert transmission service in the greater Orlando, FL area. Here are three ways to help prevent serious transmission trouble. Keep up with Transmission Fluid Exchanges Because transmission fluid provides lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, and fluid pressure, it’s very important that you’re driving with the right amount and that it’s clean. As part of a transmission fluid exchange, old dirty fluid is drained and your vehicle is filled back up with clean fluid. This service is generally supposed to be done somewhere between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. However, it’s best to refer to your owner’s manual to see your car’s exact requirement and then follow it accordingly. Check Transmission Fluid Often It’s best to check your transmission fluid each month, even if you don’t have reason to believe that there’s an issue with it. By doing so, there’s a much better chance that you’ll notice if your fluid is getting too low or has started to burn. Typically, transmission fluid should be checked with the car still running. Get to the Shop as Soon as You Notice Signs of Transmission Trouble Warning signs of a transmission problem include rough/delayed shifting, transmission fluid leaks, and the vehicle abruptly popping out of gear while you’re cruising along. If you drive a stick shift, you’ll want to be mindful of signs of clutch trouble, such as burning odors, grinding, and a clutch pedal that has become spongy, noisy, or is vibrating. By getting to the shop quickly, you’ll have the best chance to prevent the problem from worsening to the point that extremely expensive repairs are needed.
