Signs That Indicate Your Car Needs An Oil Service

Signs That Indicate Your Car Needs An Oil Service

Changing the oil in your vehicle is usually a quick and painless process, but somehow most drivers put it off and overlook the overall importance of engine oil. Not only can good, clean motor oil keep your engine parts lubricated, but it can also improve your car's performance and extend the life of the engine.   Some drivers rely solely on mileage to determine when they take their car in for an oil service; however, you should know other factors come into play. The quality of the oil, the age, make, model of the car, and how the car is driven all affect how frequent your oil changes should be. Unfortunately, oil breaks down over time, losing its lubricating properties. Once motor oil loses its effectiveness, your vehicle will likely exhibit some warning signs: Check engine or oil light on - Either of these lights can alert you on your dashboard as a sign that your car needs an oil change.  Engine knocking or noise - Because oil plays a crucial role in protecting your ... read more

Don't Miss a Detail!

Don't Miss a Detail!

Average individuals commonly confuse car detailing with car washing. While both serve to clean your vehicle, the difference between the two types of services is very important. A car wash may remove the dirt, dust, salt, and grime that gets stuck on your vehicle's exterior, but it never involves cleaning the inside. On the other hand, a car detail involves a deeper cleaning of both the exterior and interior of your car. It is intended to make your vehicle look as new as possible from the inside out. At Rev Limit Auto Center, we are a NAPA AutoCare Center with ASE-certified technicians that can help restore your vehicle 100%.   What is Included in a Car Detail?

What Kind of Dashboard Warning Lights Are There?

What Kind of Dashboard Warning Lights Are There?

Aside from hearing from a professional tech, your dashboard is the number one source when it comes to getting the latest updates on your vehicle's condition. Your dashboard will remind you of maintenance services, and it can also warn you of trouble. There are six essential warning symbols you should know about and never ignore: Battery Light The electrical fault light, or battery light, is outlined in the shape of a car battery. When it is up and bright on your dash, there is something wrong with your electrical system that may include the battery, alternator, or starter. Tire Pressure Light The tire pressure light, also known as the TPMS symbol, is another one of those lights you should keep an eye out for. The emblem resembles a tire with an exclamation point, and it signifies that one or more of your tires are underinflated. Driving on low-pressure tires is extremely dangerous. Not only are you prematurely wearing your tires, but it can also lead to deadly vehicle accidents ... read more

Don't Purchase A Used Car Unless You Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection!

Don't Purchase A Used Car Unless You Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection!

Buying a pre-owned vehicle from another person can often be a blind shot. While the seller (or dealer) may express that the vehicle is in great shape, it is difficult to tell its condition just by looking at its exterior. There could be an internal issue growing under the hood that may cost you hundreds or thousands to repair shortly, an expense that you aren't prepared for. This is why prospective buyers (and sellers) of used motor vehicles in Kapolei, HI, should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection.   You may be wondering, "What even is a pre-purchase car inspection?" and what it includes. A pre-purchase inspection is when you bring a used vehicle into our shop for a complete inspection. Our expert team will conduct a multi-point vehicle inspection and test multiple systems for their basic function. We put together a report for you that will include all the car's major parts' conditions and outline what repairs or services we feel that the vehicle will ne ... read more
