It’s always important to ensure your brake system is operating at maximum capacity. If they aren’t working at maximum capacity, they could still work effectively enough for a little while, but they will eventually fail quicker as well. The last thing you want to experience is a situation where you have to slam on the brakes in an emergency and they don’t work how they should. Part two of our three-part series on the safety triangle explains everything you need to know about maintaining your brake system.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we focus a lot of attention on the safety triangle to educate our customers and inform them of why it’s important. There are three parts to the safety triangle and part one is the tires. People often take their tires for granted and simply air them up when they are low on air. There’s a little more you should do with them, though, to keep them properly maintained and safe to drive on. Here’s what you need to know and do with your tires regularly.

Flushing out your automatic transmission is a service you should do regularly to keep your transmission alive and operating without any problems. If you don’t stay on top of this service, you could end up spending a significant amount of money in the long run when you have to get it replaced. We always recommend that our customers get a transmission fluid flush according to the manufacturer’s recommended timeline and here are some of the reasons why and how we do it.

Staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule is important for several reasons. One is because you want to extend the life of your vehicle as long as possible. And when it comes to maintaining your brakes, you want to make sure they are operating properly to keep you as safe as possible. The best way to accomplish both is to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations from your vehicle owner’s manual and keep up with your brake fluid maintenance. Here’s what you need to know about the process.

Most new vehicles today are made with electric parking brakes. The days of having a lever by your side to pull up in case of an emergency are gone now that most things in vehicles are electric. While this might seem like a good thing to a lot of people on the surface, the truth is electronic parking brake systems aren’t nearly as reliable. You could experience other issues with electric parking brakes as well, and we’ve explained them here.

The ABS light and traction control system in your vehicle are essentially one in the same. So when there is an error in the system, your vehicle will likely turn on both of the lights to let you know there’s a problem that needs to be addressed.

Here’s what you need to know about why your ABS light might be on.
