What You Need To Know About Auto Fluid Leaks

What does it mean when my vehicle is leaking oil?

Oil leaks need to be checked ASAP. Frank Myers Auto can help you with that.

An oil leak (drips of brownish or black fluid) in your normal parking spot, garage or driveway, means that one of your engines gaskets is leaking. Leaks can range from easily repaired drain-plug gaskets from a careless oil change, to more difficult leaks such as intake manifold or head gasket leaks. The important thing is, you need to get your oil leak repaired as quickly as possible…oil is the life-blood of your car or light truck’s engine, if it is loosing engine oil, the engine can run hotter and the engine components will begin taking damage very quickly, leading to engine failure if any component is not getting oil. Even slow leaks can rapidly deteriorate, creating much larger leaks. Check your oil level before driving the vehicle in to the auto repair center at Frank Myers Auto Maxx, to ensure that you are not running on empty and causing damage to your engine.

 I see a Green Fluid under my car, what does it mean?

Frank Myers Auto can help you with your coolant leak in Winston-Salem.

Engine Coolant is usually a green (sometimes orange) fluid that might be leaking from your vehicle. The Engine Coolant provides cooling for your engine, allowing your engine components to properly cool. If the coolant is leaking, then the system is no longer sealed and pressurized. When the system is not pressurized, the coolant looses its capabilities to absorb as much heat from the engine. When pressurized, the boiling point fo the coolant is increased, to allow it to absorb more heat from the engine. When there is a leak, this pressurization does not occur. If you see green or orange fluid leaks under your vehicle, it is a good Idea to bring your vehicle in to Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, NC as soon as possible, so that our Dealer Certified technicians can help you get your vehicle cooling system working properly.

 I see a Red Fluid Leak under my car, what can it be?

 Red fluid leaks are generally transmission fluid leaks. Transmission fluid is used for transmitting the power from your engine to the drive shaft, which in turn powers the wheels of your vehicle. Transmission fluid leaks can range from simple drain plug gasket failures, to much more difficult gasket or even torque converter leaks. In any case, it is a good idea to have your vehicle looked at quickly, as transmission fluid is under extreme pressures, so the beginnings of a leak can turn into a severe leak very quickly. Our Certified technicians are highly trained in determining the cause of your transmission fluid leak, and will be able to tell you the severity of the problem and the cost to repair. Bring your vehicle to the auto repair facility at Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, NC for diagnostics today.

 There is a clear fluid under my vehicle, what is it?

 Clear fluid leaks can be one of several different fluids, Power Steering Fluid or Brake Fluid. Power Steering Fluid is used by your power steering system, which makes it easier for you to steer your vehicle, especially during low-speed manuevers such as parking. Brake fluid is even more crucial, brake fluid is used in the braking system to apply hydraulic pressure to your brake pads. If Brake fluid is leaking, this is VERY SERIOUS and needs to be taken care of quickly. A leak in the brake system means that every time you depress your brake pedal, brake fluid will be pumped out instead of applying pressure to the brake pads. This means that your brake pedal may become spongy, and your vehicle will not stop as quickly. Brake fluid leaks should be considered VERY SERIOUS, and should be looked at immediately.

The Best Used Car Deals Announced For July

U.S. News & World Report just released their list of Best Used Car Deals for July of 2010. The Frank Myers Auto Maxx Team thought the list was correct and informative but seriously lacking in depth.  Everyone was in agreement that the current deals are difficult to pass up on a pre-owned BMW, Mercedes or Acura. However, there was also a general consensus that there are several money saving opportunities on a few bread and butter cars as well.

The following used car deals, both the ones mentioned by writer Jamie Page Deaton and the vehicles added to the list by the Frank Myers Auto Maxx Team,  are something buyers should give serious consideration. Credit companies usually see used-car buyers as bigger risks than new-car buyers, so used-car financing rates tend to be higher than new-car financing rates. When finance companies offer special automotive financing deals on pre-owned, it’s time to pounce.

For July, the best deals were on used cars from some of the very best names in luxury cars. There were also found deals on used Hondas, which tend to offer great reliability, even when bought used. Cash back offers are rare on certified pre-owned vehicles, but shoppers can get a great deal by negotiating the sales price and taking advantage of reduced financing rates.

MODEL: Select Pre-Owned Mercedes Benz

Summary: There really is nothing quite like driving a Benz. Right now, you can own select certified pre-owned models at a startling price. The models available with the best deals include the entry-level C-Class and the benchmark E-Class. If you’re in the market for a midsize SUV, the M-Class is eligible for this deal.

MODEL: Select 2007/2008 BMW Models

Summary: There are some great deals on pre-owned BMW 2007 and 2008 3-, 5-, 6- and 7-Series models, in addition to the X3, X5 and Z4.

MODEL: Certified pre-owned TLs and TSXs

Summary: Acura is Honda’s luxury marquee and has been satisfying drivers for years. For buyers anxious about a used car’s reliability, an Acura’s Honda DNA and reliability should put those fears to rest. Getting a fantastic deal on the sporty TL and the fun-to-drive TSX only makes pre-owned Acuras look better.

MODEL:  Certified pre-owned Accords, Elements and Odysseys

Summary: Because of their reputation for reliability and solid resale value, Hondas make popular used cars. Buying a certified pre-owned Honda from Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, with its 160 Point mechanical and safety inspection and warranty, makes buying a used Honda an even better proposition. Frank Myers Auto is offering great rates for qualified buyers on certified pre-owned Accord sedans, coupes and hybrids. Winston-Salem used car dealer, Frank Myers Auto, is also offering the same great deal on the Odyssey, perhaps the best minivan on the market. The quirky Element is also eligible for this money saving promotion in Winston-Salem. 3.99% financing for 37-60 months is also available for qualified buyers.

MODEL: Certified pre-owned Chevrolet Impala & Malibu

Summary: The Frank Myers Auto Maxx Team are strong believers in both of these best-selling American made vehicles. Both of these cars have gone a long way in rebuilding the good name of Chevy sedans where reliability is concerned. These pre-owned GM cars are currently available with rates as low as 3.99% with programs starting with as little as no money down for well qualified buyers.
