Automotive Tips from Economy Transmission and Auto Repair: Alignment Inspection
Posted October 28, 2015 12:00 PMUneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Bristol drivers that their wheels may be out of alignment.
When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor at Economy Transmission and Auto Repair will inspect your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He?ll also compare your current alignment with the vehicle manufacturer?s settings.
Your vehicle owner?s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in a crash, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Bristol, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your Economy Transmission and Auto Repair service advisor perform an important alignment check.

Automotive Tips from Economy Transmission and Auto Repair: Knowing When Your Timing Belt Should Be Replaced
Posted October 7, 2015 12:00 PMThe timing belt in your engine controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Bristol drivers need to replace it on a schedule to avoid failure.
Timing belts are very difficult to get to, requiring quite a bit of labor to access. Timing belt replacement is one of the more expensive maintenance services, but the cost at Economy Transmission and Auto Repair to correct an engine damaged by a broken timing belt is much, much more.
The timing belt has a tensioner to help maintain proper belt tension. The tensioner should be replaced along with the timing belt and any idler pulleys at the vehicle manufacturer’s specified service interval. Your Economy Transmission and Auto Repair service advisor can help you with the timing belt.
