Power Steering: Keep Headed in the Right Direction, Temecula

Power steering is standard on nearly every car and truck in Temecula, California these days. Now there are some exotic, new types of power steering systems, but for the most part, the heart of the system is a pump that’s driven by a belt powered by the engine.

Tire Maintenance in Temecula

With the recent focus in the Temecula area on improving fuel economy, we've been told how important it is to maintain our tire pressure.Temecula drivers know that tires wear out, but we want to make them last as long as possible because they're not cheap to replace. In addition to saving gas, properly inflated tires last longer. Underinflated tires will wear out more quickly.Some people in Temecula wonder if they should add a few extra pounds of pressure when they fill up their tires. Bad idea.

But they still need to be properly maintained. This is why your owner's manual has a schedule for cleaning your fuel injectors and other parts of your fuel system. Some people ar ... read more
