The Importance Of Maintenance

The Importance of Vehicle Maintenance
Purchasing a vehicle is a big investment. To ensure you get the most out of that investment, make sure you are doing the proper maintenance to keep your vehicle running in top condition. By doing proper vehicle maintenace, you can eliminate 50% of automotive repairs. That is a high percentage that you can't ignore! If you don't know the maintenance schedule of your specific vehicle, we can look it up for you. Just ask!

In order to better maintain our customer’s vehicles and deliver a consistent experience Gines Service has formalized standards for our technicians to use. These standards were developed by gathering information from Automobile Manufacturers and other Automotive Industry sources.

Where possible we use Scientific Testing and measurement to determine if fluids and parts are within specification. In those cases where there is no Scientific Method we use industry-accepted methods as well as our own experience to make an intelligent decision and inform you about what is best for your vehicle. By following these standards and methods, statistics show that we can save our customers as much as 50% in vehicle costs over the life of their vehicle by preventing costly repairs, eliminating unnecessary work and reducing the chances of breakdown and inconvenience.


Oil and Oil Filters
Having your oil and oil filter changed, at least as often as recommended by the manufacturer, is likely to generate the single biggest return on your routine-maintenance investment. Replacing the dirty oil and filter will help protect the internal parts of the engine from premature wear. It's important to use the recommended grade of oil for your vehicle for the best protection and fuel mileage. See your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval, or follow the oil-life monitoring system, if equipped.

Air Filters
A dirty air filter prevents the engine from breathing properly, which can decrease fuel mileage and performance and make the engine work harder than it needs to. Let your vehicle breathe! Change the air filter once a year or when recommended in your owner's manual. Change it more often if you drive in dirty or dusty conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, change that too. A dirty cabin air filter reduces the airflow through the vehicle's ventilation system. Cabin air filters help keep pollen, fumes, smoke, and other materials from reaching the inside of a vehicle. See the owner's manual to determine if your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter.

Brakes
Brakes often have wear indicators that produce noise when it's time to change the pads. Or your brakes may feel different when you press on them. If you think there may be a problem with your vehicle's brakes, have them inspected at an Independent Service Center that features quality ACDelco parts. When it's time to replace the brakes, ask for ACDelco DuraStop brakes, which are D3EA-certified to federal safety standards and offer a limited lifetime warranty.

Charging/Battery
Extreme heat and cold are hard on automotive batteries. If your vehicle is a few years old, have the battery and charging system tested to be sure that your battery has the power to start your vehicle and that your alternator is recharging the battery as it should. ACDelco batteries have some of the best warranties in the industry, and our alternators are 100% performance- and reliability-tested to help provide you with a quality, proven product.

Belts
Drive belts are essential for keeping your vehicle's electrical (alternator), engine cooling (water pump), and air-conditioning systems running. Having them inspected periodically and replaced when necessary means you're less likely to experience a broken belt and the resulting vehicle breakdown.

Cooling
A cooling system that is clogged or low on fluid can cause serious damage to the engine and other components. Get into the habit of checking the fluid level regularly, and have the fluid changed or flushed when recommended.

Wipers
Don't wait for a rainy day to discover that your windshield wipers are worn and need replacement. Worn wipers can hinder visibility in rainy or snowy conditions. ACDelco's Beam Blades have a curved design that conforms to the shape of your windshield and provides constant pressure for a smooth, uniform wipe.

Ignition
Though many spark plugs are designed to last 100,000 miles, they can still get dirty or fail prematurely. Ignition wires lose insulating ability over time, and the connection to the plug or ignition coil can degrade as well. Having your service technician regularly inspect your ignition system can help you avoid conditions that may result in poor performance or reduced fuel economy.

Shocks/Struts
The suspension system affects your vehicle's steering, braking power, and stability, so it's important to have these functions inspected regularly and to replace parts when they become worn—and dangerous! ACDelco has shocks and struts that fit your style and budget and that feature a competitive, limited lifetime warranty. It's also important to have other chassis items, such as tie-rod ends, control arms, and ball joints, checked periodically.

Transmission
Automatic transmissions have become more sophisticated with additional gears and computerized electronic controls and are designed to work with the engine controls for best operation. Have the transmission inspected and serviced as recommended in the owner's manual.

Accident Survival Guide

Immediately After the Accident...


Take a breath. Try to relax (we know it's hard). Then check to make sure you're all right. No injuries? Great. Now make sure no one else in your vehicle or the other vehicle is injured.

If there has been an injury, call 911 for help. Don't leave the scene of an accident until all matters have been taken care of. Move your vehicle only if its position puts you in danger or you are instructed to move it by a police officer.

Give only the necessary and requested information to police and other parties involved in the accident. Do not spontaneously discuss your personal condition, mental frame of mind, or anything unrelated to the accident. This will help guard against post-accident legal action.

If you have OnStar and your subscription is activated then trust an OnStar Advisor to help guide you through the minutes after an accident. In the event that your air bags deploy, your vehicle automatically sends a signal to OnStar and an Advisor will attempt to contact you to see if you need assistance. OnStar can also contact a nearby emergency service provider with your location and request help. Learn more about OnStar services.

If you need roadside assistance, phone GM Roadside Assistance. You'll find the number in your owner's manual.

If your vehicle cannot be driven, find out where the towing service will be taking it. Get a card from the tow truck operator or write down the driver's name and the service's name and phone number.

Remove any valuables from your vehicle before it's towed away. Make sure this includes your insurance information and registration if you keep these items in your vehicle.

Gather the important information you'll need from the other driver. Use the handy form located in the attached Collision Survival Guide (0.8 MB).

If it's possible, call your insurance company from the scene of the accident. They'll walk you through the information they'll need. If they ask for a police report, don't worry. Just phone or go to the police department's headquarters the next day and you can get a copy of the report for a nominal fee. In some states with "no fault" insurance laws, a report may not be necessary. This is especially true if there are no injuries and both vehicles are drivable.

Choose a collision repair facility for service to your vehicle.

Once you have an estimate, read it carefully and make sure you understand what work will be performed on your vehicle. If you have a question, don't be afraid to ask for an explanation. Reputable shops welcome this opportunity.

Tires: Everything You Need To Know!

Read below for everything you need to know about tires!

Tire Replacement


How do you know if you need new tires?
Tire wear depends on several factors, including your driving style and tire maintenance habits. Wrong size load and speed rating can void your warranty. But one sure way to know when to replace your tires is when treadwear indicators appear. A tire's built-in treadwear indicators are "wear bars" that look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread and appear when it's time to replace the tire.

You also need a new tire if:

• You can see three or more treadwear indicators around the tire
• Cord or fabric is showing through the rubber
• The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric
• The tire has a bulge or split
• The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can't be repaired correctly

Tire Pressure

• Maximize your tires' performance and durability by monitoring and maintaining correct air pressure.
• Air is a gas, expanding when heated and contracting when cooled. For most of North America, fall and early winter are especially important times for checking tire pressure—as the ambient temperature falls, tire pressure goes down.
• A good rule of thumb is that for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit temperature change, tire pressure changes about 1 psi—higher as temperature rise, lower as they fall. Also, check your vehicle's owner's manual for recommended tire pressure.

Under-inflated tires can cause:

• Premature or irregular wear
• Poor handling
• Reduced fuel economy

Over-inflated tires can cause:

• Unusual wear
• Poor handling
• Reduced fuel economy

Checking Air Pressure

Check your vehicle's tires at least once a month, when the tires are cold (let the vehicle sit for at least three hours). Look in your owner's manual for the recommended tire inflation for your vehicle. Use a quality gauge. Don't "eyeball" tires—radial tires can look fine even when they're under-inflated.

Be sure to look for objects that have become wedged in the tread—they can work themselves further into the tire and cause air loss.

And don't forget to check the spare!


Tire Rotation

Since each tire performs different tasks (such as steering or front- versus rear-wheel drive), tires wear at different rates. Rotating your tires at recommended intervals extends their useful life and achieves more uniform tire wear.

It's important to rotate your tires according to the correct tire-rotation pattern. Front tires encounter different tasks than the rear tires. And a front-wheel-drive car's tires perform different tasks than those on a rear-wheel-drive car. Your owner's manual specifies which rotation pattern is right for your vehicle.

Your vehicle's front and rear tires may also use different pressures—make sure to adjust individual tire pressure to the recommendation for each wheel position. See your owner's manual for recommendations.


Wheel Rust or Dirt

Rust or dirt may not allow proper tightening of the lug nuts and a wheel may loosen over time. When you have your tires rotated, be sure to remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle and torque the wheel lug nuts to the specification in your owner's manual. In an emergency, you can use a cloth or paper towel, but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later to remove all rust or dirt and torque to specifications.

Also, remember that rotating your tires won't correct wear problems caused by worn mechanical parts or incorrect inflation pressures.



Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance

Scheduled alignment and balancing are not needed, since your vehicle's wheels were aligned and balanced at the factory. But if you notice unusual tire wear or that your vehicle "pulls" one way or the other, the wheel alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating on a smooth road, your wheels may be out of balance.

A tire that is out of balance often affects ride quality and can shorten the life of tires, bearings, shocks, and other suspension components. A speed-dependent vibration—becoming noticeable around 45 mph and increasing as speed increases—is probably balance-related.


Tire Alignment

Alignment is critical for ensuring that you get maximum wear and performance from your tires. Poor alignment results from your car's suspension and steering system becoming out of adjustment with each other. The biggest indicators of your vehicle being out of alignment are a "pulling" one way or the other as you drive or unusual tire wear. Improper tire inflation can also cause unusual tire wear.

Your vehicle may have both front- and rear-wheel alignment specifications. An Independent Service Center near you that sells quality ACDelco parts can recommend the alignment type that's right for your vehicle.


What to Do When You Get a Flat

Knowing how to change and repair it can mean the difference between making your appointment and running hours late. And technologies like tires that run even when flat and flat-fixers you can store in your trunk make dealing with that flat easier than you might think!

Warm Weather Tips

Warm Weather Tips


As temperatures increase, so do the demands made on your vehicle. So make sure your vehicle is up to summer's challenge.


What You Can Do

• Check tire tread depth for excessive and uneven wear.
• In extreme summer temperatures, you may have to change the grade of your engine oil. Check your owner's manual for the viscosity grade recommended for your vehicle's engine.
• Check the cooling system—both hoses and radiator—for leaks. Check the coolant recovery reservoir under the hood when the engine is cold. Add the coolant recommended in your owner's manual, if required.

What Gines Service Can Do to Help

• Check the air conditioning system.
• After a winter of coughing and sneezing, combined with allergens, bacteria, mold and other microscopic interlopers, you might need to replace your cabin air filter and thoroughly clean or vacuum interior surfaces.

Winter can take a bigger toll on your vehicle than you think. See Gines Service for a pre-summer springtime check-up.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter

You wouldn't head out into cold weather without bundling up. Your vehicle faces similar challenges as temperatures drop. The bottom line: it needs a little extra care as the mercury plummets. A little preparation before winter sets in may help prevent major headaches later.


What You Can Do

• Make sure you have a heavy-duty ice scraper and snow brush in your vehicle.
• Cold weather reduces tire pressure, so check tire pressure often. See your owner's manual for directions and details.
• In severe winter temperatures, you may have to change the grade of your engine oil. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the viscosity grade recommended for your vehicle's engine.
• Check your wiper blades. Cold temperatures can make blades brittle, and ice on the windshield can cause nicks in the blades, decreasing performance.
• If you're planning a trip, take a blanket, extra-warm clothing, a collapsible shovel, a bag of road salt and an extra bottle of windshield-washer fluid.
• Put on snow tires if you live in major snow-belt areas. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for details and recommended practices.

What Gines Service Can Do To Help

Even in climates that don't see subfreezing temperatures or regular snow, the change in season is a great time to have your ACDelco-affiliated service center technician inspect or check the following areas:

• Antifreeze – A quick and simple check of the coolant will tell immediately how much protection it will deliver in cold temperatures. Antifreeze that is good to 0° F or -10° F might be fine for Arizona drivers, but not so for those in Minnesota. Make sure your antifreeze will do its job for your area's typical winter temperatures.
• Battery – Very cold weather saps the cranking capability of a battery, and a marginal one that did the trick in the summer may not start your car when the thermometer drops. Have the battery inspected and replace it if the cold-cranking amps aren't sufficient—it'll be easier in the long run than a couple of jump-starts on a freezing January morning.
• Belts and hoses – Extremely cold temperatures can increase the chance of failure for worn or cracked belts and hoses. Use the change in season to have them inspected and replaced as necessary.
• Tires – Cold temperatures can reduce the air pressure in tires, so making sure the tires are properly inflated can enhance fuel economy and prolong the life of the tires. Also, be sure to have the tread wear inspected. For drivers in areas that see ice and snow in the winter, adequate tire tread often means the difference between an easy commute and a tire-spinning ordeal—or getting stuck.
• Wipers – Winter brings precipitation, be it rain, snow, sleet or all of the above. Have your car's wipers inspected for normal operation and have the wiper blades replaced if they smear, streak or "chatter." You'll also want a full reservoir of washer fluid for the winter. One more thing: If you live in a snowy area where the roads are routinely salted, have your car washed often throughout the winter. It will ward off rust and protect the finish of the exterior paint and wheels.

Driving Tips to Keep Your Family Safe

Buckle Up
The most important tip to keep your family safe while driving is to always use safety belts and proper child restraints. Children are safer when placed in the rear seat in the appropriate infant, child, booster seat, or safety belt—appropriate for size and age. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an active air bag.

Both Hands on the Wheel
Always drive with both hands on the wheel. The best place for your hands are the nine and three o'clock positions, which helps provide greater control when steering.

Lights on, Please
With your safety in mind, all new GM vehicles come equipped with daytime running lamps. To help with safe driving, turn on your lights in rainy or snowy weather to make sure that your headlamps, taillamps and other exterior lamps are on. Even if your visibility is good, other drivers will have a better view of your vehicle.

Let it Snow
Although snow is pretty to look at, don't let snow stay piled up on your car or truck. Peaks of snow on the roof increase drag and decrease gas mileage. And snow covering your vehicle's windows—including the side and rear glass—can obstruct your view of other drivers. Also don't forget to brush the snow from your car or truck's headlamps and taillamps to help you to see and be seen.

Quick Maneuvering
If you need to veer suddenly to avoid hitting an object in your vehicle's path, before turning, make sure you look in the direction you're headed to make sure the path is clear.

Impaired Driving
Alcohol is a factor in 39% of traffic fatalities in the U.S. These visual signs may help you spot an impaired driver:

• Stopping problems (too far, too short, or too jerky)
• Straddling a lane line
• Swerving or drifting
• Weaving across lane lines
• Accelerating or decelerating for no apparent reason
• Slow response to traffic signals
• Turning with a wide radius
• Driving without headlights at night
• Varying speed
• Stopping in a lane for no apparent reason
• Failure to signal or signal inconsistent with action
• Almost striking a vehicle or other object
• Slow speed (10+ mph under the limit)
• Driving in opposing lanes or wrong way on a one-way road
• Following too closely

How To Save Gas And Money

Save Gas and Money—With Our Help!

With gas prices at record levels, everyone is looking for ways to save money at the pump. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests the following tips to help conserve gas:

For tips like these and more, visit ACDelco.

10 Ways You Can Save Gas:

1. Go the speed limit. Use cruise control.

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.

2. Drive Sensibly.

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.

3. Avoid idling and rush-hour traffic.

Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

4. Keep your engine properly tuned.

Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent. Find an independent service center near you that sells quality ACDelco parts and can check to see if your engine is properly tuned.

5. Remove junk from the trunk.

Added weight in your vehicle affects fuel economy, so take unnecessary items out of your trunk. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

6. Commute to work.

Stagger your work hours to avoid peak rush hours. Drive your most fuel-efficient vehicle. Consider telecommuting (working from home) if your employer permits it. Take advantage of car pools and ride-share programs. You can cut your weekly fuel costs in half and save wear on your car if you take turns driving with other commuters. Many urban areas allow vehicles with multiple passengers to use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, which are typically less congested, further improving your fuel economy.

7. Combine trips.

Combining errands into one trip saves you time and money. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longer multipurpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Trip planning ensures that traveling is done when the engine is warmed up and efficient, and it can reduce the distance you travel.

8. Use the recommended grade of motor oil.

You can improve your gas mileage by 1-2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. For example, using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by 1-2 percent. Using 5W-30 in an engine designed for 5W-20 can lower your gas mileage by 1-1.5 percent. Also, look for motor oil that says "Energy Conserving" on the API performance symbol to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives.

9. Keep tires properly inflated.

You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure.* Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all 4 tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.

*The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is usually found on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb or the glove box and in your owner's manual. Do not use the maximum pressure printed on the tire's sidewall.

10. Avoid rooftop carriers.

A roof rack or carrier provides additional cargo space and may allow you to meet your needs with a smaller car. However, a loaded roof rack can decrease your fuel economy by 5 percent. Reduce aerodynamic drag and improve your fuel economy by placing items inside the trunk whenever possible. Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 lbs in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2 percent.

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT: Ed Jenkins

Ed Jenkins

Long-Time Faithful Customer

Our relationship with Ed began in 1963 when he first brought his vehicle in to Gines Service, which was then known as Clyde’s Chevron. Ed was building a home in Kearns and was looking for an auto repair shop to have his vehicles serviced and fixed. Ed recalls the first time he took his vehicle to Clyde’s Chevron, and because Clyde was “as grouchy as his dad,” they had a good relationship from the start. Ed says that since day one when he first took his vehicle to Clyde’s Chevron, he has never had to go anywhere else. When Clyde’s Chevron moved to the current location and became Gines Service, Ed followed right along. Ed recalls always giving Clyde “a hard time”, and vice versa, and he says that he now enjoys the same kind of friendly relationship with Clyde’s son, Mark, and the rest of the guys. Ed says that whenever he brings his vehicles in, if they ever ask him any questions about what to fix, he is famous for saying, “Well, if it’s broke, then fix it, and call me when it’s done!”

Thank you Ed for your many years of dedication to Gines Service!
We look forward to many more!
