Why alignments are important

Why alignments are important

Alignment recommendations typically suggest getting an alignment check every 12 months or 12,000 miles. If your vehicle is pulling to one side, misaligned steering wheel, uneven tire wear or after hitting a curb or pothole, we recommend to get your alignment checked. Alignments are also recommended after tire or suspension/steering component replacement. Pearl City Auto Works is now equipped with an alignment rack & tire machinery to assist you.

Oil & Filter Neglect

Engine damage can occur if oil changes are not done in specific intervals per recommended oil viscosity. Viscosity measures the oil's resistance to flow (thickness of oil). Oil viscosity low (thin) leads to high oil velocity. Oil viscosity high (thick) leads to low oil velocity. When starting a cold engine, your engine oil needs to get to the moving components to lubricate & circulate. When your engine is at normal operating temperatures, the engine oil needs to have sufficient to form a protective layer of lubrication for the metal surfaces. Regular engine oil's  replacement interval is 3 months &/or 3,000 miles. Synthetic engine oil's replacement interval is 5 months &/or 5,000 miles.
