Being able to identify the signs the windshield wiper blades are failing will help to reduce the likelihood they reduce your vision in the rain and lead to dangerous driving conditions.

One of the easiest ways to determine if the windshield wiper blades on your vehicle are failing is to watch what happens when they are being used in the rain. When you begin to see areas with streaks, other car's headlights are creating a glare, or there are blurry spots, the wipers are not working as they should.

When you press down on the brake in your vehicle, there are a number of components that come into action. Each of those components must be properly cared for if you want to be able to stop your vehicle at any moment.

When you press on your brake, you are trusting every component of that brake to move into action. It is important that your brake fluids get changed on a regular basis.

Have you noticed something wrong with your car's headlights lately? If your lights seem to be going dim and your car is starting up slowly, then you may have an issue with your car battery or electrical system. Car batteries should be checked once or twice per year, before the winter season especially. If you live in an area where it gets extremely cold, a battery with low voltage could mean that you will be stranded.

The easiest way to check a battery at home is with a multimeter. This is a device that you can pick up online…

There are many different ways that your drivetrain can be configured with new models coming out from automakers. In some cases, you can have drivetrains that are able to modded on the fly. Most cars are made with front-wheel drive (FWD). This is the most fuel-efficient drivetrain, but it doesn't provide a ton of power. With FWD, the car is pulled forward. However, with rear-wheel drive (RWD), cars are pushed forward. This is why they have more power but also fuel efficiency.

All-wheel drivetrain setups are the best of both worlds. You get power and efficiency, while also being…

Dealers take pride in giving car buyers as much information as possible when choosing their next vehicle. To make an informed purchase decision, it is critical that you know the difference between a powertrain warranty and a bumper-to-bumper warranty. Generally speaking, a powertrain warranty covers components such as the engine and transmission.

A bumper-to-bumper warranty covers just about every other part of the car such as the air conditioning or sound system. Ironically, it doesn't actually cover damage done to the bumpers. Neither warranty will cover anything deemed to be a...

Tire pressure plays a big role in the handling, fuel economy and safety of your vehicle. When the tires are underinflated, they wear out faster. Your car will have more drag to it, which could reduce its fuel economy.

Putting too much air in your car's tires is also a problem. When there is too much air pressure in the tires, there is less surface area to come into contact with the road. This decreases your traction, causes problems with handling and could even make you lose control. The excessive wear in the center could cause a blowout.
