The engine's heating and cooling system is comprised of many different components that all must work correctly for the system to cool the engine properly. One component's failure can affect the entire system causing an engine to overheat, and will mean a ride to All Tire and Wheel behind a tow truck.

Proper inspection and adjustment by All Tire and Wheel will extend their life by many thousands of miles.

If the light stays on, flashes, or comes on while driving, it indicates a fault in the ABS system. We recommend that you have your vehicle's ABS system inspected immediately at All Tire and Wheel, by one of our professionally trained technician to determine the source of the problem.

When you start your car, oil begins lubricating your engine. Numerous additives within the oil help it cool and reduce friction between internal moving parts. Engines are tough on oil. Friction, intense heat, dirt and contaminants eventually cause the oil to lose its ability to lubricate, cool, clean and flow freely.

Ask for an oil change at All Tire and Wheel and one of our trained technicians will select the correct viscosity grade oil and filter for your vehicle and perform an oil and filter service.

Spark plugs and wires are crucial in a smooth running engine. Symptoms of bad plugs or wires are: rough engine idle, engine misfire, engine hesitation, reduced engine power, engine surging, and a change in fuel economy. Spark plugs and wires should be changed at the same time. The "rule of thumb" for when to change plugs and wires is easy to remember, 12 or 12, 12,000 miles or 12 months in an older vehicle, and 24 or 24, 24,000 miles or 24 months, in a newer computer controlled vehicle.
