Why is it important to Maintain your Transmission?

It is very important to maintain the Fluid in your Transmission. Most Auto Repair shops in Greenville SC can help with Vehicle Maintenance. We all want our transmissions to work well and last a long time. It is as important as changing the oil in your engine. Here are some key reasons why Transmission Fluid Maintenance is so important:
1. Proper lubrication reduces friction. It also reduces wear and heat among moving parts.
2. Cooling the Unit - Fluid circulates through the transmission. Moving parts create heat due to friction and it helps keep the Transmission cool. Overheating can cause premature wear on all the working components. A cool running Transmission is important for longevity.
3. Contamination Prevention - Over time, fluid becomes dirty. The fluid becomes contaminated with metal shavings, carbon, and debris from wear and tear. Regular fluid changes remove contamination.
4. Neglect Causes Failures - Neglecting fluid changes can lead to faster wear. It causes sludge, build-up, and eventually failure.
It’s a good idea to have your vehicle on a regular schedule of fluid exchanges for all your fluid systems. This includes the Engine, Transmission, Power Steering, the Differentials, the Transfer Case, Brakes, Fuel System, and the Cooling System. We recommend contacting an Auto Repair Shop Near You and asking if they perform Vehicle Maintenance.

Why is Alignment so Important?
In the world of cars, Alignment refers to how your Wheels are positioned in relation to each other and the road. Imagine your Tires are like your feet. If they're not pointed straight ahead, you're going to have a tough time walking in a straight line! Car Alignment is similar.

Why Are Brakes so Important?

Brakes are the most important system on your vehicle. It’s the job of the Brake System to slow down your vehicle and help keep it under your control. Brake components consist of Disc Pads and Brake Shoes, Disc Rotors and Brake Drums, Brake Calipers, Wheel Cylinders, Brake Hoses, Brake Master Cylinder, and steel Brake Lines.

When the brake system is faulty, many things can occur. The Brake System can grind metal on metal and not stop the vehicle efficiently. Your vehicle can Vibrate When Stopping. This can feel like a loss of control when braking. Your Brake Pedal hits the floor when trying to stop. Your vehicle can also pull to one side when braking.

If you ever feel like your brakes are not working correctly, give us a call and set a Drop Off time. We can perform a thorough Brake Check and advise you on the shape and safety of your Brake System.

A common question that we get from customers is, "Why Do My Brakes Vibrate When I Brake". Here is a video from us that gets into it. Please enjoy the video.

Why do my Brakes Vibrate when I stop A common question the we get at Cobb Tire and Auto Repair is, "Why Do My Brakes Vibrate When I Stop. This video gets into it.

We have a lot of clients asking us, “Why Do My Tires Keep Losing Air”. There are several reasons for this.

1) The Tire has a puncture. Tire Punctures range from nails, screws, bolts, metal shards and broken glass. When debris is found to be causing a leaking tire, we remove the tire and Patch Repair the tire internally.
2) The Tire Leak is from the Bead Seal. As Tires become older, the Tire Bead that seals to the rim can begin to leak. We see this a lot from vehicles up north that are driven in the Rust Belt. Corrosion builds up between the Tire Bead area and the Rim Seat. To fix this, the tire needs to be removed from the rim and thoroughly cleaned. The rim may need to be sanded and cleaned.
3) The Tire dissipates through the rubber side wall. Rubber is porous. Air pressure will leak down over time. This is a normal occurrence. This is why it is important to check the tire pressure once every month.
Most newer cars have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. If ever the Low Tire Warning Light comes on, have this checked out immediately. Don’t ever drive your vehicle with a low tire.

Cobb Tire and Auto Repair on Google There are many reasons why your car might not be starting. It is difficult to diagnose the exact issue without more information. However, I can give you some general possibilities

The Continental tire that is pictured here caught a sheet metal screw in the sidewall. Unfortunately, this tire is not repairable. Because the sidewall lacks reinforcement materials, and because so much of the sidewall flexes and moves when driving and cornering, patching, or plugging is not recommended. The correct repair for this Continental tire is to replace it with a new tire.
