Automotive Tips from All Things Automotive & Diesel Service: Rotor Problems
Posted October 21, 2015 12:00 PMThe brake rotor, or disc, is attached to your wheel. The brake pads rub on the rotor to slow your car when you are driving in Idaho Falls.
Rotors can warp, crack or become misaligned. They can also be damaged by worn out brake pads that scratch grooves into the surface. These conditions result in less contact surface for the brake pads, leaving you with reduced braking power.
Over time and miles, rotors can also wear down below safe specifications. It is important for Idaho Falls drivers to know that simply replacing brake pads on a wheel with a bad rotor will not solve the problem. Depending on their condition, rotors may be resurfaced or replaced.
Brake noise or a pulsation in the brake pedal are signs of potential brake problems that should be addressed right away. If you have any brake concerns, please have your friendly and professional All Things Automotive & Diesel Service tech perform a thorough inspection.

Automotive Tips from All Things Automotive & Diesel Service: Air Conditioning Inspection
Posted October 1, 2015 12:00 PMMost auto manufacturers recommend an interval for an air conditioning system inspection. The inspection uncovers leaks, worn hoses and assesses the condition of the other components.
Environmental laws in some around Idaho Falls require leaks to be repaired before refrigerant can be added. Also some parts manufacturers require other components to be replaced along with certain failed parts in order to maintain the new part warranty. This is because a given failure may be the result of another worn or damaged part that will, if not replaced, prematurely damage the new component.
All Things Automotive & Diesel Service in Idaho Falls is fully equipped to restore your flow of cool air.
