Automotive Tips from D & B Automotiove: Brake Noise
Posted December 15, 2015 12:00 PMYour brake pads are the important parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your car when driving in Memphis. They eventually wear down.
When your pads are worn too much, they won’t stop your vehicle as well. When the friction material is worn away, metal parts of the pad are exposed and you’ll hear a squeal or grinding sound.
That’s when Memphis drivers should replace their brake pads at D & B Automotiove. Not only will new pads restore your stopping power, but replacing them on time will prevent damage to the rotor.
If your brakes are making noise, ask your D & B Automotiove service advisor to inspect your brakes. Addressing problems early will restore your safety and prevent expensive brake damage.

Automotive Tips from D & B Automotiove: Making Your A/C System Last Longer
Posted December 4, 2015 12:00 PMMemphis drivers know that if their air conditioning system isn’t making cool air like it used to, there is a problem. It may be as simple as adding more of the right kind of refrigerant.
Your A/C requires special compressor oil, which circulates through the system along with the refrigerant, to lubricate and protect expensive components and keep seals and gaskets from drying out. If refrigerant has leaked out – so has the compressor oil. This oil needs to be replenished whenever refrigerant is added.
An air conditioning inspection at D & B Automotiove will uncover any potential problems and identify any necessary repairs needed to get Memphis drivers on the road to cool air once again.

Automotive Tips from D & B Automotiove: Making a Battery Last Longer
Posted December 2, 2015 12:00 PMOne thing all Memphis drivers can do to extend the life of their battery is to keep it clean. A greasy, dirty battery holds in damaging heat. Same goes for removing corrosion from the terminals. D & B Automotiove can help maintain your battery.
Allowing your battery to be deeply depleted – like from using your headlights when the engine is off – is very harmful to your battery. Most automotive batteries can only take that about 10 times before they are ruined.
Also, making sure you have a full charge every month or so extends battery life. Either an extended drive at freeway speeds around the Memphis are or using a battery charger will preserve your battery’s ability to hold a full charge.
