If you own a vehicle, chances are you have a basic understanding of what’s involved with the responsible upkeep of that car, truck or SUV. Properly maintaining a vehicle may involve spending some time and money now, but doing so can and often will extend the life of that vehicle. That’s certainly a better position to be in as opposed to suddenly having to purchase a new car because you ran the old one into the ground before it would have otherwise given out.
We are about to come across the time of year when people all over the United States decide to embark on long road trips. While it’s always exciting to plan these types of excursions, it’s also a process that involves many different details that must be accounted for in order for any trip to go as well as possible. One of these steps should involve making sure that the vehicle that’s going to be used is in proper condition for a long drive. While oil changes, tune-ups and perhaps a change in the tires are all good steps to take, there are often aspects of a vehicle that are overlooked.
When the New Year rolls around, people tend to make resolutions and plans for that coming year that relate to almost every different aspect of life. Most of us have lives where our vehicles are extremely important to us for many reasons, but for some reason relatively few people take the time to plan for those vehicles so that their effectiveness, performance and dependability can be maximized. Hopefully 2013 will involve many automobile owners doing what’s necessary to make sure that their cars, trucks and SUV’s run as smoothly as possible.
As we move into the winter months, all of us around the United States are beginning to encounter different driving environments that are changing because of the weather conditions that tend to come around at this time of the year. Whether we live in warm or cold climates, we all need to be ready to deal with roads that will be slippery, darkness that sets in earlier and unpredictable weather that can make any drive a challenge. In short, we need to be ready for anything, and that starts with our vehicles.
Most of the manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser on their products. We have excellent relationships with these suppliers and can facilitate any warranty and sending it in claims. Rather than removing the part from the car (leaving it un-driveable), most people purchase the replacement with the understanding that they’ll be refunded once the manufacturer approves the warranty and sends us a new part. It is always your option to deal with the manufacturer direct instead.
- The Exchange Rate is in your favor. The relative prices of automobile parts from the U.S. have never been lower. Add that to our Shipping Promotion with UPS Express. You will get your parts in 1 to 3 shipping days for the similar cost as UPS Ground (without the added brokerage fees). These great rates may not last

POWERSLOT Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here’s where Power Slot’s slotted brake rotors make a big difference. Power Slot’s exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power. |
HAWK PERFORMANCE Hawk Performance’s leading-edge brake friction technology is proven everyday in severe-duty aerospace, military, commercial truck fleet, motorsports and performance street brake applications. Put the power in the brake pedal and specify Hawk Performance disc brake pads. Click here for Hawk Performance’s homepage |
