You may find your car, or another motorist's car, will not start after leaving the store or an event. You can get the non-operative car running again with a quick jump-start. Bring the car that is running as close to the nose of the other vehicle so the two batteries are as close as possible, allowing the jumper cables to reach easily. Turn the car engine off and be sure the car lights are not on.

Open the hoods and grab your jumper cables. The jumper cables have two red and black clamps. Place the red clamp on the…

An engine overheating is always one of those issues that you don’t think will happen to you. However, despite how advanced your engine is, it is capable of overheating. Understanding why it’s happening will let you get the necessary repair.

The most common reason for your engine not cooling is because there's a problem with the radiator. This may be something as simple as a leak in the hose or something more complex. Other problems could be due to the water pump, the head gasket, or even the temperature housing.  

Whether you are towing for work or for pleasure, it is important to always take extra care to ensure that you do it safely. An accident while towing can be a very negative experience, and whether it is due to negligence or equipment failure, it is never something that you will want to have to deal with. That is why it important to make sure that your vehicle and trailer are in good enough shape to tow by getting proper car repair and maintenance, and that you know what you are doing.

For starters, you will want to make sure…

Few things can compare to being in an out-of-control vehicle, which can be very scary. The car is almost floating on the road surface like a leaf on a windy day. This can most certainly cause an accident or damage to the vehicle or much worse. Learn and understand the causes of hydroplaning and simple strategies to prevent this from happening to you and your loved ones. Hydroplaning is when the tires lose traction on the road surface.

Hydroplaning can be caused by environmental conditions such as rain, ice or fluids from vehicles. 

Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires come into contact with more water than they can disperse and the car begins to slide or skid across the wet surface. This can be a scary experience, but understanding what to do when your vehicle begins to hydroplane can help the driver feel more in control.

Hydroplaning most commonly occurs when the rainfall has just begun, so it is important to reduce speed, especially in heavy rain combined with windy conditions. 

The transfer case on your four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle is located behind the transmission. Depending on how your system’s configured, it uses either a chain or set of gears to change your vehicle from two-wheel to four-wheel drive. This occurs through the driveshafts for the front and rear axles. The objective is to slow the rotational speed so that the wheels turn at the same time, creating greater force.

When you notice a situation, such as the 4WD lever popping out of gear, it could be the result of the transfer case losing oil. The seals can wear out with…

When you have an effective cooling system for your engine, the chances of it overheating are lower. However, even with a good cooling system, there are preventive measures that you need to take as a car owner.

The engine’s cooling system relies on the antifreeze in your radiator. If this level becomes too low, or completely drained, your car will overheat. This can cause other engine parts to fail such as a blown head gasket, which is expensive and time-consuming to repair. It’s important to have your antifreeze level checked periodically.

You would immediately notice the need for a differential the first time you turned a corner in your car without one. Each wheel’s rotation is designed to travel at different speeds. To accommodate the difference in ratio, the differential allows for each speed through a series of gear movements.

When you turn a corner, the wheels that are closest to the turn, called the inside wheels, only have a short distance to travel to complete the arc of the turn. The outside wheels, on the opposite side of the car, need to travel a much greater distance and speed…
