When Do I Need to Replace My Vehicle's Battery?

Most car batteries need to be switched out every three or four years. It is possible that you may need to change your vehicle's battery sooner, depending on your driving habits, the climate of the place you live, and if you purchased a pre-owned car. If you are noticing that your battery is leaking or that the car is having a tough time starting, you should make a battery inspection appointment with Suburban Subaru of Troy today.

What Are Some Signs That My Car's Brakes Might Need Replacement?

Your car's brakes are crucial to the safe operation of your vehicle. It is important to know the signs that they may need to be replaced. Some of these signs include:

• A squealing or grinding noise when you apply the brakes
• The brake pedal feels soft or spongy when you put your foot down on it
• Your vehicle pulls to one direction when you press on the brake pedal
• It takes longer for your car to come to a complete stop
• Your brake light is illuminated on your car's dashboard

Is it Necessary to Get New Rotors When Changing My Brake Pads?

The short answer to this question is no. While it is not always necessary to change your car's brake rotors when you change its pads, it might be a good idea. The reason that this is the case is that these two components work together to slow and stop your vehicle. For this reason, it is a good idea to ensure that they both wear evenly at the same time.

Why is Tire Rotation an Important Service for My Vehicle?

Routine tire rotation helps to ensure that your car's tires wear evenly. Front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles may experience uneven wear when their tires are not rotated. When tires do not wear evenly, your vehicle will not get the proper traction it needs on the road to maneuver and handle the roads in an appropriate manner.
