Automotive Tips from Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair: Brake Noise

Your brake pads are the important parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your car when driving in NAPLES. 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 NAPLES drivers should replace their brake pads at Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair. 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 Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair service advisor to inspect your brakes. Addressing problems early will restore your safety and prevent expensive brake damage.Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair3661 MERCANTILE AVE STE ANAPLES, FL 341042394047589http://happywalletautorepair.com

It may not have much power at all. You also may have had to stop at the gas station more often, a sign your fuel economy isn't what it used to be.  There could be a few different things that cause those symptoms, but one culprit could be a bad ignition coil. The coil takes the voltage from your battery and multiplies it before that power is sent over to a spark plug.
