How long does a strut last?

There is no rule as to how long a strut assembly will last. The life will vary greatly based on vehicle make/model and driving area/habits. A good standard is 70,000 – 80,000 miles of driving before struts will require replacement. Strut replacement can be an expensive investment, Many times we have manufacturer coupons available to assist in the cost of repairs.#strut #coupon #shock

How does a GDI engine operate?

The main difference between a standard fuel injection system and "Gasoline Direct Injection" (GDI) engine is the placement of the fuel injector. A GDI fuel injector is located to spray fuel directly into the combustion chamber. Due to this design the fuel system operates under extremely high pressure with precise timing. A standard fuel injector is located in the intake manifold and the fuel travels past the intake valve into the combustion chamber. This design difference requires more frequent air induction service for GDI engines.#GDI #injector #engine

How often should I replace my Timing Belt?

The timing belt in your engine is a critical component. Replacement intervals vary by manufacturer from 60,000 miles to 105,000 miles. It is also critical to consider that the timing belt is made of rubber. Rubber degrades over time and regardless of mileage the belt should be replaced within 8 years of service.#timingbelt #belt #beltreplacement
