If the AC isn’t blowing cold air in hot weather and the heater isn’t warming you when the temperature dips, it’s time for inspection, diagnosis, and repair recommendations from Jensen’s Foreign Car Service.

Do you feel like you are pushing the brake pedal through the floor to stop the car at the same distance you used to apply lighter pressure? Do you feel every pebble on the road? Does your car appear to “sag”? These are all signs of brake issues, shock, and Strut Failure.
Brake pad life varies from car to car, driver to driver, and the conditions in which you drive. You can see mileage on pads vary from 30,000 to 70,000 miles.
Although all shocks give a manufacturer’s suggested replacement period, there isn’t any way to determine the actual lifespan of an individual shock absorber. The normal lifespan is influenced by real-life driving conditions. Under ideal conditions, replacement may not be needed for up to 100,000 miles.
If you suspect shock and strut issues, make an appointment with Jensen’s Foreign Car Service and have them professionally inspected with recommendations for replacement.

The vehicle’s cooling system prevents the engine from getting too hot and causing damage. The cooling system can also affect your car’s fuel injection system. A properly maintained cooling system is an important part of a well-maintained vehicle. A system drain and refill is just good preventative maintenance.

Proper tune-ups and regular oil service are the easiest and often the least expensive way to keep your car running at its peak.

Factory specs, synthetic, regular or combo oil products and the mileage on your car determine when these should ultimately be done.
