General

Leave a piece of felt in your car to defrost windows. You can clean the frost off with the felt. It works immediately and effectively until your defroster catches up.

When replacing a battery, put a small layer of baking soda in the battery box or mount. The powder acts as a cushion, and absorbs any acids that leak from the battery. This helps prevent acid from eating through the battery box and damaging the body of the car.

Indications that you may need a tune up include: poor starting, engine knocking, engine stalling, loss of power, poor gas mileage, strange odors, or rough running. Schedule an appointment online with a MechanicNet shop to get your car running smoothly again.

Have your Playa West Automotive mechanic check your vehicle if you find that you are having problems that you just aren’t able to take care of yourself.
