Automotive Tips from All Things Automotive & Diesel Service: Air Conditioning Inspection
Posted October 1, 2015 12:00 PMMost auto manufacturers recommend an interval for an air conditioning system inspection. The inspection uncovers leaks, worn hoses and assesses the condition of the other components.
Environmental laws in some around Idaho Falls require leaks to be repaired before refrigerant can be added. Also some parts manufacturers require other components to be replaced along with certain failed parts in order to maintain the new part warranty. This is because a given failure may be the result of another worn or damaged part that will, if not replaced, prematurely damage the new component.
All Things Automotive & Diesel Service in Idaho Falls is fully equipped to restore your flow of cool air.

Automotive Tips from All Things Automotive & Diesel Service: Serpentine Belt Tensioner
Posted September 23, 2015 12:00 PMThe serpentine belt tensioner applies pressure to the serpentine belt, maintaining optimal tension to drive the accessories like the alternator and A/C compressor. At All Things Automotive & Diesel Service we know that the service life of the belt tensioner is the same as the belt itself, so they should always be replaced together. A worn tensioner prevents the accessories from spinning properly, leading to premature wear and noise for Idaho Falls drivers.
Your vehicle manufacturer has a recommended mileage interval for serpentine belt replacement. A complete accessory drive system service replaces the serpentine belt, the belt tensioner and any idler pulleys your car might have. Your friendly and professional All Things Automotive & Diesel Service service advisor can inspect your system and let you know if it’s time for a replacement.

Automotive Tips from All Things Automotive & Diesel Service: Wiper Blades ? Signs of Wear
Posted September 23, 2015 12:00 PM90% of our driving decisions are based on vision. Anything that impedes your vision can affect your driving safety – including a dirty windshield. In that sense, your wiper blades are an important safety system. Most Idaho Falls drivers will wait until their wipers have failed before they replace them. Then they find themselves in a driving situation around ID when they really need forward visibility only to discover that their wipers are worn or maybe even torn and can’t clear snow or rain from the windshield.
As an important safety system, wiper blades should be replaced BEFORE they fail. Test your wipers at least once a month. If they are not doing the job, your friendly and professional All Things Automotive & Diesel Service service advisor can replace them for you.
