Minnesotans are used to dealing with the snow and ice that comes each winter season. Oftentimes, motorists prepare their cars with tire chains or switch tires altogether to their winter season treads. Snow brushes and ice scrapers are conveniently mounted in the trunks. But what about some preventative maintenance on your vehicle? When was the last time that you had your vehicle’s battery checked for efficiency? Cold weather has a negative effect on your vehicle’s battery, enough so that you can be stranded anywhere at any time.

Top Five Mechanical Problems Cars Experience During Minnesota Winters
Minnesotans are no stranger to harsh winters and deep snows. Even still, there is something that is amazing and mesmerizing about the first flakes of snow falling in the winter. As we have already seen snow this season, this serves as a last-minute reminder to ensure your car’s maintenance is up to date. We, at Clark Automotive in Blaine, have put together the top five issues that we see year after year.
Importance Of Routine Vehicle Maintenance
Anyone who is knowledgeable about automobiles–from your amazing local mechanic to a sales representative at an auto dealership to a neighbor who does work on his own car and can fix anything–will tell you that periodic maintenance is the key to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and reliably. One of the reasons our automobiles need unscheduled maintenance is that it can be difficult to keep up with the scheduled maintenance recommended by your vehicles’ manufacturers. Clark Automotive has made a name for us by helping our clients with the routine maintenance needed to keep your car in good shape
Tips For A Healthy Transmission
A healthy transmission makes for a happy driver. Not only do you want to avoid expensive transmission repairs, but you can extend the life and improve the drivability of your car by taking good care of your transmission. There are many ways to help take care of your transmission or detect a transmission repair early on.
Just like your engine oil, transmission fluid should be replaced at regular intervals. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on the level and condition of your transmission fluid to stay ahead of potential wear or damage from old or low transmission fluid. In most cars, you can do this by locating the transmission fluid dipstick, which should look like your engine oil dipstick. Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause a host of problems, so it’s best to schedule a transmission service with your technician
Importance Of Preventative Maintenance For Your Vehicle
Oil changes, tire rotations and regular tune ups are examples of preventative maintenance for your vehicle that can prevent major car problems down the road. If you make these small investments in your car, then over time you can expect to save money on more serious repairs. It is also important to have your vehicle serviced by a certified technician so that small and manageable problems do not turn into larger (more expensive) ones. Clark Automotive is a full-service car repair shop in Blaine, MN, that can help you with preventative maintenance so that you can enjoy your vehicle for many years to come!
Car And Truck Battery Testing And Replacement
The staff of Clark Automotive takes pride in being able to fix automotive problems that stump other auto repair shops, and we also take pride in taking care of the basics, such as tire rotation, brake repair and replacement, and issues with climate control (heat and air conditioning). One of those basics, which often gets overlooked by automobile owners, is your vehicle’s battery. A good car battery will last many years, but not all vehicles are equipped with really good batteries. A battery of lesser quality will begin to falter sooner than its higher quality competition. Clark Automotive can test the strength of your battery
Keeping Up With Preventative Maintenance For Your Vehicle
You rely on your vehicle to get you everywhere. You need it to run smoothly and run for a long time. If you’re not staying on top of these six services, though, your car may not be getting the attention it needs to live its longest life. Find out what these preventative maintenance services are and how they can help your car live its longest, most cost-efficient life!
Motor oil lubricates the engine, keeps your vehicle from overheating, and basically helps your engine run as it should. Naturally, this oil gets dirty over time. Follow the specifications set by your vehicle manufacturer
Choosing The Right Mechanic For Your Preventative Maintenance
Your vehicle is an important part of the way you travel and when it is neglected or fixed improperly by a non-certified mechanic, it can mean big problems down the road! Choosing a mechanic for your preventative maintenance is important. At Clark Automotive, we understand the responsibility that comes into our care
Importance Of Routine Oil Changes
There are many things that can go wrong with an automobile, and that applies even to the most modern vehicles made by the most reliable auto manufacturers. Cars and trucks, whether they are commercial or privately owned, are still complicated machines with multiple complex systems
Battery Testing and Replacement Services
Our country started to emerge from a global health crisis in recent months, which took a toll on its motor vehicle fleet, because so many people were driving so much less than they had been before. The rate of driving began picking up again when more people returned to work and when many more people took to the road. However, with the recent increase in infection, it is unfortunately possible that our rate of driving will decrease once again. This disruption can have an impact on your vehicle, and Clark Automotive is equipped to help you get your vehicle back into optimal running shape.
