Queens Tire Dealer

Is an grimey, yucky, greasy messy engine a red flag? NO! Is a clean one a good sign? NO! Ever open a hood and see a sparkling clean engine? Are you envious? Does it always mean the car you're looking at is in good condition? Hell, no. Even if it looks like Aunt Tillie has just waxed and polished it, is it an absolute good deal? Nope. Sure, it looks great and your thinking, "man, this baby is clean and kewl looking." Not so fast. Car dealers and buyers might be using a little psychology on you. A squeaky clean engine compartment makes any car, especially, a used car look newer and better maintained than it might be. All that glitters is not gold, remember. Ask the seller for his maintenance records to make sure what you see is what you get. Don't ever judge the cleanliness of the engine compartment as a statement about how good the car is. There are businesses who specifically do engine services such as cleaning and preparing cars for sale....of course, looks always matter but go into b ... read more

By definition, your spare tire is exactly that, a spare in case of an emergency. Meanwhile while we wait for an emergency, we forget to check on our spare tire simply because it's not needed........yet. And when it's needed, it might not be ready to do its job because many of us don't do what we have to do to keep our cars, tires, brakes, etc in good condition....in a word: maintenance. The problem with that kind of thinking is that it's not preventative as is, unfortunately, a lot of maintenance issues. The whole concept of preventative car care is to avoid accidents, get the best performance, stay prepared for situations that come up unexpected, avoid costly repairs and situations and extend the life of our car and its tires. Think about it. Isn't it a pain when your car doesn't start on a cold morning? But, when have you had your car battery checked last? Batteries have a life expectancy. How old is yours? Same with your spare tire....It's there, you know it and we all ignore it an ... read more
