These spark plugs were not due for replacement according to the recommended schedule. You can clearly see plenty or wear and aging. These were causing less than optimal performance conditions, leading to poor fuel economy and driveability concerns. #autorepairsurrey #autorepairfleetwood #automechanicsurrey #automechanic #fleetwood #autorepairfleetwood #automechanicsurrey #carcraftautorepair #sparkplugs #sparkplug #ngk

A common sight we see. Rodents under your vehicles hood. Unfortunately you cant always see it. They can cause big problems. We find damage even more during the colder months. #autorepairsurrey #autorepairfleetwood #automechanicsurrey #fleetwood

It's the wet season again. Don't over look worn out tires. With the increase in rain and the drop in temperatures, it's time to replace or switch over to winter tires. We would be happy help! #autorepairsurrey #autorepairfleetwood #mechanicsurrey #mechanicfleetwood #tires #tiresforsale #repairshop

It's a bit long but if you'd like to learn about your vehicles battery take 2 minutes and read this article i helped write. A quick lesson on car batteries, by now I'm sure that everyone knows car batteries wear out just like any other battery and need to be replaced. There are a couple of things you should know when looking for a new battery: one is cold cranking amps and the other is reserve capacity. Let’s start with cold cranking amps. This can be thought of as the power... output used to start a cold engine. The number of cold cranking amps you need depends on your vehicle and where you live. The two factors are that the colder an engine is, the more power it takes to turn the engine over to get it started. It has all that cold, sluggish oil to contend with. The other factor is that the chemical reaction in the battery that creates electrical energy is less efficient in the cold. So the colder it gets in Surrey, the more power is needed, but the available power also drops. So if you live where it’s even colder, you need a battery with more cold cranking amps than you do where it's moderate or hot. You should always get at least as many cold cranking amps as the car maker recommends, but may want to upgrade if you live where it gets real cold. An important note: Batteries may also list the Cranking Amps CA number. It is the Cold Cranking Amps or CCA that is the vital number here. CCA is the number to use in your comparisons of auto batteries. Now with all this talk of cold temperatures, it’s vital for drivers to note that heat is the real enemy of long battery life. In other words, the damage that’s done over the summer months shows up with the increased demands on the battery when BC weather turns cold. Now on to reserve capacity: It’s a measurement of the number of minutes of reserve power the battery has at a given load. The number is more important these days because of parasitic drain. Parasitic drain is the battery energy that’s used when the key is off. So, the power drawn by the security system, the remote start system, even the power the computers require to maintain their memory. Reserves are also needed when you make very short trips around the area. You’re not driving long enough for the vehicle battery to recover the energy it used to start the engine. So go with the minimum recommended by your car maker and upgrade if you need more. Talk with one of our technicians or service advisor about options. If you need more from your vehicle battery, a high capacity battery may be called for. Batteries are a big ticket item, so the warranty gives piece of mind. Be sure to ask about the warranty CARCRAFT AUTO REPAIR can provide you so you know what you’re getting. Stop by or give us a call. 604.503.3959 CARCRAFT AUTO REPAIR 15370 Fraser Hwy.
