A slick and worn tire presents a few safety issues that you will have to deal with. In wet, rainy conditions, your vehicle will be more prone to hydroplaning. In typical driving conditions, your vehicle’s handling will be diminished, as will its braking performance.

Stay on top on your tire maintenance. In most cases, a visual inspection should be enough. When it is not, you can test the tread depth of your tires with a penny.

Your vehicle's exhaust system helps to place the fumes from the engine away from you and your passengers.

All brake systems depend on the synchronized movement of specific parts needed to provide safe operation.

Automatic brake systems are typically standard equipment on newer vehicles, but many older models still use the traditional brake assemblies.

Both types of braking devices use fluid to ensure that all parts work properly.

Rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicles have a differential. The engine powers them to turn through the drive train and differential. Different types of vehicles have different ways of transmitting force to the wheels. A front-wheel drive, for example, houses the differential and transmission together in the front of the vehicle.

The differential’s gears provide the rear wheels the ability turn corners at different speeds. Those closest to the turn, or the inside wheels, travel a shorter distance and at a slower rate than the outside. The wheels on the outside, opposite the turn...

American drivers aren't "cheap," but they're tight-fisted with their money when they think they're being swindled. All too often, automotive repair shops will try to fix things that aren't broken, and up-sell drivers on products they don't need.

So when your technician says, "Synthetic oil is better; that will be $30 more than your usual oil change, please!" your first reaction is to close your wallet…
