Why rotate tires?
In the battle between rubber and road the road always wins, but we can delay the inevitable. Tires wear differently on drive axles compared to non-drive axles, left side tires compared to right side tires and steering axle versus non-steering axle. Moving the tires at 6000 – 8000 mile intervals evens the wear and roughly doubles tire life. Our rotation includes a free brake inspection. Why perform a rear drum brake service? Drum systems are very nearly sealed and wear products from the consumable linings are trapped between the drum and backing plate. Backing plate lubes are absorbed by brake dust leaving critical pivot and wear points unprotected. Servicing removes wear debris, allows us to adjust the service brake, parking brake and lubricate the ten contact points between the shoes and the drum brake mounting system. Why change brake fluid? • Moisture • Contamination • Oxidation Brake fluid is designed to absorb moisture to prevent standing water from rusting the steel brake lines f
