Fairfax Auto Repair’s Guide to A/C Maintenance

Tue, 08 Aug 2017 15:37:55 +0000

Hot/Cold Dial

If you spend hours inside a hot vehicle, it can really put a damper on any weekend trip or vacation. By periodically checking things out, you may be able to spot A/C issues before they ruin your trip. Here are a few things you can check for:

Does your air conditioner make a strange noise? If you hear a rattling, grinding, squeaking, creaking, metallic, or other strange sounds from your air conditioner, this can be a sign of a problem.
Does your A/C smell funny? If you notice any foul or strange odors coming from your A/C when it is on., this can be a sign that maintenance is needed. Get this checked out at Fairfax Auto Repair.
Does your A/C just not get cool? If your A/C is not blowing cool air, or is not getting as cold as it should, this is definitely a reason to look into A/C maintenance.

It’s a myth that vehicle air conditioners lose coolant over time – you can’t ‘run out’ of freon. If your compressor is low on coolant, that is an indicator of a leak. Other common issues with your car’s A/C compressor are issues with the belt, pulley, or hoses, and trouble with the condenser itself.

Have A/C issues? Check in with Fairfax Auto Repair today!

For Your Battery’s Sake, Beware the Heat this Summer

Fri, 28 Jul 2017 15:35:44 +0000

The hot temperatures of summer are uncomfortable for driving, and they are also dangerous for your car’s battery! Here at Fairfax Auto Repair, we always suggest that you have your battery tested periodically and replace it at least every 3 years, or as needed, to reduce the risk of being stranded.

In the summer, the extreme heat can shorten battery life. Battery fluid will evaporate in the summer heat just like any other fluid, and this can damage the battery’s internal structures. Usually, we think of extreme cold temperatures causing our cars not to start, but the real culprit here is summer heat. Many battery issues begin a long time before the temperatures drop, so a few extra steps now can save you the inconvenience of a dead battery later.

In order to get the most out of your battery, have it tested today at Fairfax Auto Repair. If it is more than 2 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement – most batteries will need to be replaced after 3 years in constant use. Always replace your battery with another that is rated at least as highly as the one you are replacing.

For more battery tips, or to have your battery tested or replaced, contact Fairfax Auto Repair today.

Got Water Damage? The Fairfax Auto Repair Guide

Mon, 17 Jul 2017 15:33:28 +0000

With heavy summer rains moving in, there’s good chance you will could encounter some water in your vehicle. Driving through water, or exposing it to heavy rains can result in water damage even if your vehicle wasn’t flooded, so if you notice dampness in your interior, you may need to look into the source of that moisture.

If your interior carpets or upholstery are wet, consider having them professionally cleaned and dried – letting them dry naturally risks mildew, which can produce a nasty odor at best and illness at worst. If you’ve had some water inside your car, you should also check interior seat brackets and all related motors and systems to make sure they aren’t rusted.

If you suspect water damage, you should also check your engine oil, and transmission fluid. You can locate these dipsticks using your vehicle’s manual, or have one of the friendly techs here at Fairfax Auto Repair do it for you. Fluid that looks milky or diluted could be an indicator of water in the pans. If this is the case, have Fairfax Auto Repair attend to the vehicle immediately – and have a tow, if you can, because the presence of water in these systems can corrode internal parts if the vehicle is driven, causing much more serious damage.

Check your air filter for water, and replace it if necessary, and check the undercarriage, radiator area, bumpers, and frame for mud, debris, or enemy number one: rust. A single spot of rust can spread and become a cancer to your car if not tended to immediately. A thorough wash can help minimize these risks.

Beware of Potholes this Summer!

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 15:29:38 +0000

Potholes are a constant risk to drivers. If you’re a driver who tends to drive right over them, Fairfax Auto Repair urges you to curb that habit immediately! Hitting a pothole with your car may seem harmless enough, but even seemingly small potholes can damage your tires, wheels, suspension, alignment, and steering. Here are some of the warning signs of pothole damage:

Loss of control while steering, swaying in otherwise routine turns, or bouncing and bottoming out on streets are all indicators of a damaged steering and suspension system. These are important systems for your safety, because they help do make sure your car handles properly.

If your vehicle seems to veer in one direction while driving, or if you see uneven wear on your tires, this is an indicator of an alignment problem. Proper alignment is vital for the longevity of your tires and effective handling of your vehicle.

If you spot low tire pressure, bulges or blisters in your tires, or dents in your rims, these can be indicators of pothole damage as well, and should be checked into as soon as possible – your tires are the only part of your car that touches the road, so if they fail, the whole car fails!

If you have pothole damage or other vehicle issues, contact Fairfax Auto Repair today and let us help you get back on the road.

The Fairfax Auto Repair Guide to Dashboard Warning Lights

Fri, 12 May 2017 17:50:57 +0000

Anyone who drives a car knows all about those warning lights on our dashboards. The Check Engine light is probably the most widely known, and perplexes drivers every day. “Check engine light” is always one of the most popular search terms for anything automotive related. Modern cars, however had warning lights for tire pressure, the cooling system, engine oil and other fluids, and more. So, if you see one of these lights, what would you do? Keep going? Panic? Pull over? Should you stop where you are, or is it safe to get home?

Check Engine – Flashing vs. Solid

We all know about the Check Engine Light. This light can indicate many different things, but you may not know that there is a distinction between a solid one and a flashing one. A check engine light that is lit and solid means a problem has occurred more than once – usually an emission-related problem – and you should get it checked out soon. Sometimes a check engine light will resolve itself, and one of the most common causes is a loose or damaged gas cap. In general, a solid check engine light is no cause for immediate alarm, but get it checked when you can. A flashing check engine light, on the other hand, is an urgent warning. When this light is flashing, you are actively doing damage to your engine and you should stop driving as soon as possible.

Battery Warning Light

This light, like many others, appears when you start your car, and probably vanishes soon after. If it doesn’t, or if it appears while you are driving, then there could be either a problem with your battery, an alternator fault (which charges the battery), or a problem with the drive belt that spins the alternator, if it has a dedicated one. In most modern cars, a single serpentine belt controls this and many other automated functions, and you’ll know if it fails by the loss of power steering, brakes, and many other functions. In any case, a battery warning light should be taken seriously. No one wants to be stranded anywhere. If your battery is over 2 years old, it may need replacing, and if not, suspect an alternator problem.

Oil Pressure Warning Light

This is another of those lights that appears when you start your car and promptly vanishes. If you ever see this light while driving, stop when you can and check your oil level. If you’re low on oil, just top it up, and start the engine again. If this doesn’t fix the problem, or if you weren’t low on oil, it could be an indicator of a more serious problem, so give a reputable mechanic like Fairfax Auto Repair a call.

ABS Light

This indicator signifies trouble with your anti-lock braking system. It doesn’t usually mean that you have no brakes, but the ABS system isn’t functioning. While this means you’ll likely be able to stop if you need do, if your vehicle has an ABS system, then it’s important, so get it checked out ASAP.

Brake and ABS Warning Light

If you see this light by itself, or this one along with ABS, stop driving as soon as possible. Don’t brake suddenly, just slow down gradually and safely and get yourself some assistance. This shows a problem with your brake system that is serious and dangerous.

Happy Earth Day! Green Driving Tips from Fairfax Auto Repair in Fairfax, VA

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 21:51:29 +0000

In April we like to focus on keeping things green, and since April is also National Car Care Month, Fairfax Auto Repair in Virginia is bringing you some excellent tips on better Earth-Friendly car care.

When it comes to green driving in Fairfax, many people choose to drive hybrid or electric vehicles – but for those of us still piloting gas guzzlers, it’s still possible to drive greener, and save money on fuel while you’re at it. As our expert technicians here at Fairfax Auto Repair can attest, there are many ways to improve your fuel economy and reduce emissions without switching to an electric vehicle.

Green Driving Tips in Fairfax VA: Keep Your Weight Down

Many of us are guilty of leaving extra bulk in the car, because it’s a hassle to remove it. Extra clutter like sporting gear, leftover supplies from winter, bottled water, or any such additional weight can mean lower fuel economy for you. In fact, an extra 100 pounds in your trunk can mean up to 2% reduced gas mileage, and clutter on the roof rack can reduce your mileage by 5%. Take a day to “spring clean” your vehicle to save gas, and reduce your environmental impact – for every gallon of gas you save, you prevent 20 pounds of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

Green Driving Tips in Fairfax VA: Be Cool Under Pressure

Most of us have heard this one already, but when is that last time you checked your tire pressure? Checking it each month and keeping those tires properly inflated can mean 3% better fuel economy. Sure, 3% doesn’t sound like much, but those savings can add up – it’s about a half gallon of fuel per tank in a 16-gallon gas tank, and that’s a lot of fuel to save by something as simple as properly inflating your tires. Driving with low tire pressure can increase your resistance, causing the engine to need to work harder to move the vehicle.

If you don’t own a tire gauge, pick one up – check your tire pressure every month, or always before you embark on a long trip. For the correct tire pressure, don’t look at the sidewall of the tire! Your correct tire pressure will be located on your driver’s side door, or in your owner’s manual.

Green Driving Tips in Fairfax VA – Avoid Idling

An idle engine gets no miles per gallon – but it’s still producing the same emissions. We all turn off lights when we leave the room to save electricity – this principle is no different. Idling for 15 minutes can expend up to ¼ gallon of fuel, so if you’re stuck at a railroad crossing, waiting at a long traffic light, waiting your turn in the drive-through, or waiting to pick up a friend, turn off the engine while you’re not moving.

Some drivers like to “warm up” the engine in the morning, but take it from the experts at Fairfax Auto Repair in Fairfax VA – unless you live somewhere very cold, there’s no need to warm your engine any longer than 30 seconds – the engine actually will warm much more quickly once you’re in motion.

To Lease or Not to Lease

Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:03:56 +0000

The decision to buy or lease can be a biggie.

A lease is a long-term rental, a car you’ll have to give back to the dealer at some point. A purchase is, well, yours for the long haul. Often your choice will come down to price.

If you want a nicer car but aren’t in the position to make high payments, a lease is the way to go. If you feel the value of ownership outweighs higher monthly payments, a purchase is the right fit.

Of course, if it were as simple as that the guide would just end here. Good thing we’ve also got incentives, monthly payments, insurance, and customization to cover, so watch for those in future posts.

To Shell out or Not to Shell Out

Typically, monthly lease payments are lower than loan payments. So rather than paying off the total cost of the car, lease payments just cover the smaller cost of depreciation. But what does this mean in terms of overall value?

Well, with a loan your monthly payment will eventually hit zero, and then your car’s cash value is yours to use as you like. Plus, if you’re planning to own the car for a long time, you can spread out the month-to-month payment, bringing it way down. Typically, loan terms are four to five years, while lease terms are two to four.

It’s also worth understanding what your car’s residual value is (what it’ll be worth down the road) because all cars depreciate, some faster than others. Brands like Honda tend to hold their residual value, while brands like Chevy might not. Check out ALG’s residual value winners to see which brands might be good short-term buys.

In terms of leasing, incentives can play a big role in determining value. Let’s say you want a small or midsize SUV. There are certain periods of time manufacturers or dealers will issue very attractive lease rates, and those incentives should help inform when you’ll get the best value possible on a lease.

2016 Toyota Camry: Just What Jane Q. Public Wants in a Mid-Sized Sedan

Wed, 06 Jul 2016 13:54:10 +0000

Toyota has been deft at combining its quality engineering with an eye for what Jane Q. Public wants in a mid-sized sedan.

The Camry received a significant makeover in 2015 with just small upgrades for the 2016 model year. The Camry — built in Georgetown, Kentucky — can boast being “America’s Car” as it has been among the country’s best-selling cars for many years.

The Toyota Camry remains the top-selling mid-sized sedan in America, but it has plenty of competition nipping at its rear tires. To Toyota’s credit, it has improved the Camry’s handling and steering responsiveness compared with the previous version. The Entune connectivity set-up works well to integrate your smart-phone and deliver app-based services to the cabin. A supremely competent sedan that checks all the boxes for most buyers.

Pricing: MSRP starting from $23,070

AskPatty’s Tips to #Green Your Car and Save Gas: Park Green

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:27:59 +0000

Park in the shade or a garage whenever you can. The cooler you can keep your car while it’s parked, the less fuel you need to use to run the air conditioning to cool it off when you start driving again. Parking in a garage also decreases the energy needed to warm up on cold winter mornings. If you can’t park in the shade, consider using an electric or solar car fan, or a reflective windshield shade to help keep your car’s interior more comfortable.

Hollywood Car Designer Fireball Tim Launches Automotive Lifestyle Vlog Series Through KCL Productions

Fri, 08 Apr 2016 18:24:09 +0000

LOS ANGELES, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ – Off the heels of his successful Web Shows, Hollywood Car Designer and Host Fireball Tim (legal name) has launched a new show called FIREBALL MALIBU VLOG. Together with his wife Kathie, the Vlog (Video Blog) focuses on Fireball’s antics with cars in Malibu Ca., from driving custom builds & car shows to celebrity interviews & his own SEMA Project with Huntington Beach’s WIKD Kustoms.

Fireball’s infamous designs for Hollywood top over 400 and Kathie’s costume business (KCL Productions) features clients likeEllen DeGeneres, Nintendo, the Super Bowl & The White House. The Vlog covers the build of these unique Mascots while Fireball hits Automotive Events like SEMA, Auto Shows, exclusive local car and movie premieres and his own Malibu Cars & Coffee. He even crashed the Hollywood Christmas Parade with 41 Movie Cars.

For those that are unfamiliar with a Vlog, millenials are clambering to post individual lifestyle shows on YouTube to create a connection directly with their audience. Fireball had created a juggernaut of sorts, posting his Vlog through The Auto Channel(15M households), subscription-based Vessel, YouTube and about 25 Social Networks.

“Vlogs are the 21^st Century TV Series,” comments Fireball. “Nixing the studios and putting content creators directly in front of their audience is resulting in YouTube millionaires.”

Through the Vlog, Fireball’s generated a pipeline for his clients to feature products in an entertaining way. Those clients include 12 car companies and a host of Automotive products.

“What Fireball’s done is truly amazing,” comments Christopher Hubbard of Hubb Filters. “The show completely reinvents what entertainment can be for the 21st century. Chronological, Daily, Funny, the show has massive potential for inspiring others to build uniquely entertaining content. It’s just really cool.” Autoweek Magazine actually calls him a ‘New Media Happening.’

With so many Vloggers on YouTube, Fireball is leading the way with others in creating daily short format entertainment for a rapidly swift automotive lifestyle. If you’re into cars, then there’s no one better way to give the goods. Fireball’s done them withKeanu Reeves, Rutger Hauer, Chip Foose, Barry Meguiar and the recently passed George Barris among many others.

In over 280 consecutive daily episodes so far, Fireball’s caught the attention of several major TV Networks. His new SEMA build with WIKD Kustoms for 2016 will surely be exciting.
