The quality of the fuel and oils you use in your vehicle matters.
As your engine is running, poor quality fuel and oil can leave
behind performance robbing deposits. These deposits will
gradually build up over time and cause you the following problems:
- Premature Fuel Injector & Spark Plug Failure
- Lower Fuel Economy & Loss of Performance
- Hard Starting & Rough Running Conditions
- Greatly Reduced Engine Life
So how can you avoid these problems?
- Always use 91 Octane Gasoline or better
- Change your engine oil every 5,000– 7,000 miles
- Add a fuel system cleaner to the fuel at every oil change
- Perform an induction system cleaning every 30,000 miles
Vehicles are a major investment. Proper care is money well spent.
An industry trend in auto maintenance offers consumers an increase in the number of repair chains dedicated to specific services such as oil changes, mufflers, tires, brakes, etc. These chains claim to offer super-quick service and super-cheap prices, but are you really getting a bargain? Not necessarily.
Let’s look at oil changes and point out some differences between a Full-Service Shop like Quality Motors, and a “10 minute” shop:
- With a Full-Service Repair Shop, you get a dedicated, industry-certified, professional mechanic working on your car. Someone who’s experienced and considers his job a career. By contrast, you could end up with a disinterested, inexperienced, between-jobs person with very little long-term commitment.
- With a Full-Service Shop, you get a facility that can handle every safety and repair issue that might come up. Or, you could use a shop that just cherry picks all the “easy” stuff and overlooks, or ignores everything else.
- With a Full-Service Shop, you build a relationship with a single source for ALL your vehicle’s maintenance, repair, and service. No passing the buck there! During the course of a “simple” oil change service, our mechanics are also examining your entire car from top to bottom.We inspect hoses, belts, CV boots, tire condition, radiator, fans, fluids, undercarriage, etc. Whenyou stop in for a “10 minute” service, you only get 10 minutes of service!
Vehicles today are very complex and expensive! Having all of your service and repair work done at a single location allows us to know and track your cars history. It takes the guesswork out of what was done, and what might have been missed or overlooked. The bottom line is this: thorough maintenance is money (and time) well spent.
All you have to do to get stuck on the side of the road is ignore the temperature gauge or warning light on your dashboard, or neglect the periodic maintenance that your vehicle requires to remain safe and reliable. The summer season is the perfect time to get all your vehicles steady for the hot weather, and a cooling system check should be at the top of that list. Coolant fluids deteriorate over time. A simple quality check of your coolant strength along with a visual inspection of the belts and hoses is all it takes. If you are due for a coolant flush, this inexpensive service will ensure that your engine is protected from overheating or system damage due to hot summer temperatures.
Important! An engine without coolant will only run for a few seconds before it will literally seize up—requiring major repairs or even engine replacement. If your temperature gauge moves from its normal range, a warning light comes on, or you notice steam coming from under the hood, safely pull off the road immediately, turn off your engine, and call a tow truck. Don’t take any chances! Don’t wait for summer’s heat to blow your cool—schedule a System Service today!
Most of us equate the winter months with bad driving conditions, but spring brings its own challenges, mainly heavy rains and flash flooding. In addition, April through June is considered peak tornado season for much of the country. Add the increase in motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic (including school children) that warmer weather brings, then mix in winter’s damage such as new potholes and broken pavement, and you might begin longing for ice and snow again—just kidding!
The bottom line is that each season brings its own challenges to motoring safely. The best advice we can give you is to keep all your vehicles in tip-top shape and never let your guard down when driving. Turn that cell phone off so you can concentrate on what’s ahead of you, behind you, and beside you. Give yourself plenty of time to get where you’re going and maintain plenty of space around your vehicle to give you room to respond to the unexpected.
Everyone here at Quality Motors appreciates the opportunity you’ve given us to serve your automotive needs. Have a safe and pleasant spring season. Thank you!
Tires are expensive. You want them to last as long as possible and give you all the performance they were designed to, day in and day out, in all seasons, and in all driving conditions. That’s what you ask of your vehicle’s tires. Now, what do your tires ask of you?
- Maintain proper tire pressure
- Do periodic wheel alignments
- Rotate your tires regularly
- Check for tire damage often
- Maintain shocks & struts
- Replace any worn bushings
Sound like a fair deal? Actually, it is the only deal you can make with a guaranteed payoff.
The answer is true. Most modern radiators are cooled with electric-driven fans instead of by a belt-driven fan like cars of old. Fan belts, however, did more than just spin a fan. They also used the rotation of the engine to power the alternator which gives your vehicle electrical energy, the power steering pump to make your vehicle easier to control, the air conditioner compressor to cool you off on hot summer days, as well as air pumps and coolant pumps on many models. Today, those components are still spun by a belt called a “serpentine belt.” What happens if your serpentine belt fails? Your steering suddenly becomes hard to control and your engine begins to drain the battery (very quickly). Plus, if no coolant is circulating through the radiator, catastrophic engine damage is imminent. Serpentine belts are made of rubber. They wear out, dry out, crack, and stretch. These are all signs that indicate it is time to replace the belt. Ask us to do a “belt check” on your next visit!
As we look back on the past year and consider all the wonderful customers and business associates we have the good fortune to serve and work with, all of us here at Quality Motors are overwhelmed with a profound sense of gratitude. We really do appreciate every one of you, and our shop newsletter is just our way of saying that to everyone at once—Thank You!

A “Smart” bicycle helmet is in development by the Volvo Corporation that promises to reduce vehicle-bicycle collisions. Not only does the helmet provide impact protection, it is also equipped with a GPS transmitter that constantly uploads the cyclist’s location, direction, and speed to a cloud-based tracking system which maps it and compares it in real time to vehicle transmitted data in the same area. Whenever tracked trajectories threaten to overlap at the same time, a warning signal is transmitted to both the cyclist and the motorist in time to take evasive action. Red lights built into the bicycle helmet begin flashing, alerting the cyclist to the impending danger while making them more noticeable to the motorist. A warning is also projected onto the windshield of the affected vehicle in front of the driver’s line-of-sight. Of course, the key to this system’s effectiveness will be the percentage of vehicles and cyclists using it.
As 2017 unfolds, all of us here at Quality Motors want you to know how much we really do appreciate the trust and loyalty you display each time you stop in to see us or send a referral our way. We will never cease to give you our very best with each passing day because you deserve nothing less. The most important measurement of a shop’s success is its customer satisfaction. In fact, it is the only measurement that really matters. When we solve your automotive needs in an honest, efficient, and thorough manner, providing quality repairs at a fair price, we all but guarantee our own success. It truly is a win-win relationship. But we couldn’t do it without you. Your continued loyalty and your referrals of friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors is what lets us know we’re on the right track. We also value your feedback, suggestions, advice, and comments. Who better than the people we serve to help steer us into the years ahead?While we stay ahead of the curve on the technical changes in our industry, we want you to feel free to let us know how we can better serve your changing needs as well. Thank you for choosing Quality Motors as your automotive professional. It is our pleasure to serve you!
Asphalt starts out as a very hot goo. As it cools, it becomes hard (so we can drive on it), but also, somewhat brittle. Potholes begin as tiny cracks in the hardened surface of asphalt, due to traffic vibrations and the weight of heavy vehicles. These cracks allow water and ice to penetrate the asphalt surface and accelerate its degradation. The end result? Potholes. A materials science team at a university in the Netherlands has come up with a solution: They have mixed tiny metal fibers into hot asphalt before it is laid by a road crew. Then, when cracks first begin to appear, a truck with a powerful induction coil is driven over the roadway. In the same way an induction stove heats a metal cooking pan, the metal fibers in the asphalt are heated by the coil, re-softening the asphalt and closing up the cracks—vastly extending the life of the roadway.
A 100+ pound wheel and tire combo of a passing tractor-trailer rig came off and careened through an Illinois home that was located adjacent to the highway. The homeowner, who was sitting in his favorite chair watching TV at the time, said the wheel came through a front window, bounced off the floor in front of him, then off of his new flat screen television, smashing it to pieces, before heading into the dining room where it wrecked a china cabinet and its contents before bouncing down the hall and into a bedroom, knocking pictures off the wall and wrecking a bookcase of collectibles along the way. It finally came to rest in a water bed, puncturing it, and flooding the bedroom carpet (plus the ceiling and furniture of the finished basement below) with water. Fortunately, no one was hurt in all the excitement; the homeowner told police it reminded him of a pinball machine, just less fun.
No one wants to be this guy. However, it is all too easy to find yourself in his shoes. All you have to do is ignore the temperature gauge or warning light on your dash board, or neglect the periodic maintenance that your vehicle requires to remain safe and reliable.
The fall season is the perfect time to get your vehicles ready for the upcoming colder weather, and a cooling system check should be at the top of that list. Coolant fluids deteriorate over time. A simple quality check of your coolant strength along with a visual inspection of the belts and hoses is all it takes. If you are due for a coolant flush, this inexpensive service will ensure
that your engine is protected from overheating or system damage due to freezing temperatures.
Important: An engine without coolant will only run for a few seconds before it will literally seize up—requiring major repairs or even engine replacement. If your temperature gauge moves from its
normal range, a warning light comes on, or you notice steam coming from under the hood, safely pull off the road immediately, turn off your engine, and call a tow truck. Don’t take any chances!
