Ask Les

Q: What are some tips to help increase my gas mileage?

A: Make sure you maintain proper air pressure in your tires. If the air pressure is too low, it creates more drag on your car, which takes more power from your engine and decreases your gas mileage. Maintaining proper air pressure gives you the best rolling resistance for your tires which allows them to work at peak performance. Tires that are over inflated won’t decrease your gas mileage but they will prematurely wear out the center portion of your tires.

Q: What does an alignment do for your vehicle?

A: Alignment will allow your vehicle to track straight when driving and improve gas mileage. It also brings adjustable angles into spec to eliminate irregular and premature tire wear.

Q: What are the advantages of replacing struts and shocks?

A: Improved handling characteristics, improved tire wear and improved braking.
