A Car Repaint is usually costly, especially here in the Philippines. Nowadays, a simple car repaint would cost around 20,000 pesos (equivalent to 480 US dollars), which is a considerably huge amount of cash. If you a dedicated car lover like me, we’d agree that our precious car is somewhat entitled to one of those refreshing repaints. But before I started saving for such a costly paint job, I researched on the necessary factors that needs to be considered. Below, I found a few important things to consider before getting a car repainted.
It’s been a long day. You walk back to your neatly packed car, eager to drive home for a good night’s rest. But the moment you arrive at your parking spot, you immediately notice that something is missing! Your side mirrors! They’re gone! The thieves were only interested in the wing mirrors, as they scratched up the area around the mirror and broke its frame horribly. You have heard this story many times before, and you did not expect the same thing to happen to you. Side mirrors, though small in size, are relatively costly to replace nowadays.
As the population of automobiles on the road increases, so does the number of car accidents. Drivers should become more cautious. Aside from practicing the “no-drink-and-drive” rule and abiding by the road and traffic signs strictly, they should not text, sleep and talk on the phone while driving.
Car fuels are one of the key aspects that make our car run. Even if all the other important car parts are complete and well maintained, our cars would be of no use if it is without fuel. Choosing the right fuel for our car is of utmost significance, as they will determine how smoothly our car will run. Although, choosing the right fuel is not as easy as one would normally think; it would have to compliment the engine your car possesses. Below, I have listed a few fuel variants and some of their pros and cons.
Amidst fuel price hike and heavy traffic, there are a lot ways to maximize fuel efficiency and save money. One of the ways is to make use of the RPM gauge, which is found near the dashboard. Every vehicle has its own tachometer, where the RPM of the engine is measured. RPM, which stands for revolutions per minute, shows the number of complete revolutions of the crankshaft of the engine every minute. Faster vehicles require more revolutions from the engine, which means that more fuel will be burned.
It’s like us and our body. We think we know how our body works, but there are crucial times when we have to get an expert opinion to figure what our body needs, especially on sick days. The same goes for cars. No matter how long we’ve been using them, there will be instances where we’ll have to seek a mechanic for difficulties beyond our knowledge.
Cars are man-made machines that have revolutionized the means of transportation. These machines can take us from a place to another, but as all machines do, cars generate heat too. Heat relates to efficiency, for too much of it may destroy certain parts via overheating. So how does a car keep its engine bay cool? Through the assistance of the ever-important radiator.
One massive pain that every driver does not ever want to encounter is overheating problem. This is especially true for drivers who live in tropical regions, where most of the year is hot and sunny. Because of this, some even avoid driving during the day. However, overheating can happen anytime, and with this thought, you’d probably think that you need more automotive radiator fans as they are the core components of an automobile’s cooling system. How many radiator fans does your car really need? Let’s find out.
I need not emphasize that all car parts are important, but it is your engine that functions like the “brain” and the big “block of muscle” that makes your car move and function—making it the most vital of all. It’s one of the most expensive. Even if it remains unseen most of the time, you still have to clean it for overall maintenance, better driving, and superior performance. In this article, we’ll provide you with five steps on how you can properly clean your car’s engine.
When your vehicle is running long enough, say around 5 years or more, you might have noticed that your engine bay may be running hotter than before. This is a very good sign that your radiator was already damaged and may require diagnosing and repairing. No matter how well we take care of our radiator, no machine will last forever. Eventually, the possibility of problems will arise and you will surely need to perform check-ups in order to maximize their prevention. So let us take a closer look at the top 5 most common radiator problems.
