Daytona Beach Auto Repair

With the recent focus in the Daytona Beach area on improving fuel economy, we've been told how important it is to maintain our tire pressure.Daytona Beach drivers know that tires wear out, but we want to make them last as long as possible because they're not cheap to replace. In addition to saving gas, properly inflated tires last longer. Underinflated tires will wear out more quickly.Some people in Daytona Beach wonder if they should add a few extra pounds of pressure when they fill up their tires. Bad idea.

That can reduce the efficiency of the system and also lead to corrosion that causes damage. Daytona Beach drivers should periodically purge the system and replace the refrigerant to remove the air and water.FL drivers w ... read more
