A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis Advice on What to Pour into Your VehiclePosted April 23, 2023 11:42 AMChanges in vehicle design and manufacture have resulted in changed fluid requirements for our vehicles. With the sophistication of engines, transmissions, differentials, etc., it's best for Winnetka residents to always use the proper type of fluid for their vehicle. Using incorrect fluids can actually damage your engine. A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis Sounds Exhausting! (Exhaust Service)Posted April 16, 2023 7:18 AMMost of us know a bad muffler when we hear it. That loud, rumbling sound is unmistakable. Did you also know you can get a ticket for driving around with a loud exhaust system? If your exhaust system has a leak in it, it may be allowing poisonous gases inside your vehicle and could make you seriously ill (or even kill you!) if you breathe too much in. Unfortunately, your exhaust system faces a lot of destructive forces out on the road. Rust is the worst, and not just in colder climates where they use salt and brine as de-icers. Exhaust systems can rust from the inside out when moisture condenses inside the pipes. Vibrations and jolts from rough roads (and the occasional run in with a rock or a curb) can wreak havoc with exhaust systems. Even a bad oxygen sensor can send too much fuel into the catalytic converter, and the resulting heat can wind up destroying this very expensive component. Your exhaust system is made up of several parts, and all need to be in good shape in order for you to be sure that the gases created by your engine's combustion get properly moved out and away from the vehicle. The good news is that many newer exhaust systems are made out of more durable materials like stainless steel. But all exhaust systems are subjected to some of the roughest elements streets can dish out. So it's a good idea to have your exhaust system periodically inspected and serviced. There are a lot of parts to keep track of in an exhaust system, including the muffler, manifold, catalytic convertor, oxygen sensors and the muffler (or maybe your vehicle has more than one). We strongly recommend having your exhaust system periodically checked so we can catch a problem before it turns into something major… and maybe dangerous. We can recommend repair or replacement that suits your driving habits and budget. Oh, and remember one final benefit to a tip-top-shape exhaust system. Your vehicle will dump far less pollution into the atmosphere if it's working the way engineers designed it. We'll all breathe a little easier when our exhaust systems are doing their job right. A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis Improve Fuel Economy with Proper Maintenance at A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis in WinnetkaPosted April 9, 2023 11:49 AMWith Winnetka gas prices being what they are, many of us in CA are driving less and looking into purchasing smaller or more efficient vehicles. Winnetka area residents who have to drive a lot, have large families or need four-wheel drive are particularly hard hit by the cost of fuel in CA. But there are things all Winnetka drivers can do to save fuel: We can improve our driving habits and stay on top of preventive maintenance at A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis. These things make small savings possible, but they can really add up. Clean out your trunk. Every ounce in your vehicle translates to a bit more fuel required to drive around Winnetka.

Automotive & Diagnosis E-85 Fuel Safety Advice from A.G. Automotive & DiagnosisPosted April 2, 2023 11:50 AM
Today at A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis we want to talk with you about a very important safety issue. This automotive safety warning is coming from a very unusual source: fire fighting experts. You've probably heard of E-85 gasoline being offered in the Winnetka area. Some newer vehicle models are specifically built to run on E-85 – the rest are not. Does your vehicle use E-85 gasoline? Bring it down to A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis at 19735 Sherman Way Suite 2 in Winnetka, CA 91306, to find out, or give us a call to make an appointment by calling (818) 438-9608. E-85 gasoline has been developed to fight air pollution and reduce oil consumption. E-85 fuel is a mix of 85% ethanol, a grain-base alcohol, and 15% gasoline. So-called Flex-Fuel vehicles are designed to use either normal gasoline or E-85 gas. The result is lower exhaust emissions to our local Winnetka community. A.G. Automotive & Diagnosis
