If you are having an issue with your tire pressure light becoming illuminated over and over and you know the issue isn't actually the pressure in the tire, there are some other things that might be the culprit.

Santa Clara is a place that can have a change of temperature quite suddenly during certain parts of the year. When that temperature changes quickly, it can read as though the tire is losing pressure. 

Driving enthusiasts love the exhilarating experience of zooming down the roadway. Auto manufacturers detail the speed capabilities of vehicles, but stopping power is an often overlooked feature. Drivers expect their cars to stop when needed, which is very important.

The driver applies pressure to the brake pedal when its time to stop. Hydraulic fluids are released to the brakes that allow your car to stop. If your car shows any sign of hesitation, then you should immediately have it inspected. 

Synthetic oil is essentially the opposite of conventional oil, both of which can be used when getting an oil change at Stevens Creek BMW. We take the time to review the manufacturer recommendations based on the type of engine you have. Synthetic oil is made in a lab, choosing ingredients carefully. It is refined with customized molecules. This is in contrast to conventional oil that is crude oil with additives.

We love using synthetic oil in oil changes in Santa Clara, CA for an array of reasons. It's great for vehicles that are high-mileage. 

Windshield wiper fluid is an important component in all vehicles. The fluid is held in a reservoir waiting to be needed. There is a fluid pump that forces the specific liquid onto the windows just when you need it the most.

Don't forget to refill the reservoir with the specially-made cleaner, rather than typical tap water. The specially manufactured windshield cleaning fluid not only is formulated to clean up the windows, but also lubricates the pump and reservoir. The internal pump needs to maintained just like the windows and wiper blades.

The price for gas seems like it is on a roller-coaster ride. One week the price is up and the next week the price drops. Still, you are probably concerned about the gas prices and your car's fuel efficiency. Certainly, a poorly maintained car burns up more fuel than a vehicle that is properly maintained. Statistics show that a car that is not properly maintained might burn up to a third more gas.

Take a minute to check your vehicle maintenance schedule, according to your car owner's manual instructions. Begin with engine checks, especially air and fuel filters…

When was the last time you checked your fluids? Tire pressure? Just doing this simple, easy, and quick step can save you a ton of dough-not to mention a giant headache, should something go wrong because you ran out of oil, or got a flat tire.

Every vehicle has a maintenance check list. Huh? A maintenance check list is something that can be personalized to you and your specific driving habits, such as where you drive, do you idle your engine a lot, or do you start and stop a lot.
