The Importance of Brake Maintenance

Brakes may be the single most important part of your car. It is an absolutely essential part of your vehicle. Your brakes must be maintained at all times to ensure the safety of the people in your vehicle and the safety of everyone on the road.

Let’s say you’re on your way to an appointment. It’s been more than the recommended time between oil changes, but your vehicle still gets you from point A to point B and so you ignore it.

Good tires can be expensive, which is why it's important to maintain them. Here in Lawrence we typically don’t get too much snow, so I recommend a good All Season tire. Here are some ways to get the most out of your tires.

Before the early 1970s, vehicle owners had no way to make a distinction between incompetent and competent mechanics. Reacting to this necessity, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was created in 1972.

ASE's purpose is to increase the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service experts.
