Don't wait until the steering wheel shakes!

Don't wait until your steering wheel is shaking.....

Tire balancing is important to keeping your vehicle in good mechanical condition. If it is only attended to when there is a noticeable vibration in the ride or is felt via the steering wheel, it may have already caused considerable stress on your vehicle.

Always balance new tires when they are installed.

Check tires for proper balance whenever tire rotation is performed at intervals of 6,000 miles (Adirondack Tire offers free rotation for the life of your tires every 6,000 miles).

Have any tire which is repaired, balanced again to compensate for the weight change produced by the patch and the damage being fixed.

Check Engine Light

Which is worse a blinking check engine light or a solid on check engine light?

*  A flashing light indicates a problem that is currently happening and may require immediate attention, whereas a steady light can be diagnosed at the first convenient opportunity.

 * A technician connects a “scan tool” to your car’s onboard diagnostic system to determine the problem.
 
* Further testing and diagnostics may be required to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem.
 
* Once the problem is pinpointed, repairs are made and the light is reset.
