Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air.
If the fluid in a braking system contains water, this water can boil due to heat from the vehicles brakes, if it does it can cause a ‘spongy’ brake pedal or in severe cases total loss of brakes. The water in the system can also cause corrosion and damage to brake parts which can be costly and dangerous.
It is recommended that you have you brake fluid tested every 6-12 months depending on the make and standard of your brake fluid
Oxygen Sensors and testing
Many people take their car to a workshop for a ‘Tune up’ which basically involves things like checking and replacing spark plugs and air filters and checking the timing. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that the main tuning and emission controls are calculated by the oxygen sensor in your exhaust. The oxygen sensor is designed to relay information to the vehicles computer about the gases in your exhaust, so that the computer can adjust the timing, fuel delivery and other adjustments used to give your car the most amount of power for the least amount of fuel. LESS FUEL, LESS MONEY, MORE POWER.

The Problem:
In the past, automotive headlight lenses were made of glass and came in a limited number of sizes and shapes that fit all automotive applications. With the move toward lighter materials and more aerodynamic vehicle designs, automakers began using predominantly polycarbonate as the headlight lens material of choice over the last 20 years. Vehicles with polycarbonate headlight lenses now make up the vast majority of the vehicles on the road. This plastic material is very light and can be molded into an unlimited number of shapes and sizes to satisfy today's vehicle designers.
Polycarbonate, unlike glass, has a slightly porous surface, with these pores opening and closing with changing temperatures. The pores open when the headlight is on, or on sunny days when the lens is hot, and close when the headlights are turned off or on cloudy days. As a result, various types of debris from the road become trapped in the pores over time, leading to discoloration of the lens. In addition, as polycarbonate is a hydrocarbon, it oxidizes over time with exposure to heat and ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight. This oxidation results in the lens discoloring to a dull brownish/yellow tint, appearing fogged or faded and losing much of its optical clarity. This condition can be found on headlights as little as 2-3 years old and is very common on older vehicles.
As an overall result of the degradation processes described above, the headlight not only becomes unsightly, but also unsafe. Less light passes through the degraded headlight lens, resulting in diminished vision during night driving. The only initial solution to the appearance and safety issues of degraded headlights was to purchase replacements, which could run well over $500 for a pair of replacement headlights for many vehicles.
But now you can have your headlight restored to a near new finish for only a fraction of the price of a new light and with a 5 Year Limited Warranty. Bring your vehicle in to us and we will restore the look of your vehicle and improve the visability while driving at night. Contact usfor more details.
