Vehicle Maintenance
Engine Air Filter
A serious contributor to fuel efficiency and engine performance is your engine air filter. Engines depend on clean air to operate optimally, and over time your air filter will start to get clogged from from dust, dirt and other road contaminants. When air filters are not serviced regularly they can lead to decreased performance, increased emissions and potentially major engine damage.
Cabin Air Filter
A cabin air filters job is to help prevent dust, dirt, pollen and other debris from entering your vehicle. Keeping your cabin air filter serviced will not only stop this debris from getting in, it will also keep the air flowing through your vehicle helping ensure that you are getting maximum heat and a/c from the vents.
Head & Tail Lights
Being able to see where other cars are and alert others to your position is important, especially at night on dark roads and during the extreme weather we have here in Alberta. Most of the time when you have issues with headlights and taillights it’s just a burnt out bulb, but other times there may be electrical faults or your charging system can't keep up.
Fuel Filters
Everytime you fill up your vehicle's fuel tank you are adding not only gasoline or diesel, but you are also adding little bits of debris that comes along with it. When this fuel hits the bottom of the tank it stirs up debris that has already settled. Sounds like a big deal right? Not if you get your vehicle fuel filter serviced regularly. The fuel filters job is to protect the complex fuel delivery systems precise components from being damaged by these bits of debris that can enter the fuel tank. Fuel filters over time can get clogged and left not do their job efficiently
