Automotive Tips from Gordie's Garage Inc: When to Replace Your Wiper Blades

There are several important factors that go into how often ROSEVILLE drivers should replace their wiper blades. Of course, the more you use your wipers, the faster the blades will wear out – especially if you use them on an icy windshield. Whether it’s a lot of bugs and road grime from MI freeway driving or lots of wet weather – your blades get a work out and start to wear. But your wiper blades break down even when they aren’t used frequently. They are damaged by sunlight and temperature changes as well. The rubber in the blades can dry out and crack and eventually fall apart. Check your wipers: If they’re not doing their important job, have them replaced at Gordie's Garage Inc in ROSEVILLE. Talk to your Gordie's Garage Inc service advisor about how you drive - we can counsel you on the optimal blades for your needs.Gordie's Garage Inc29046 CALAHAN RDROSEVILLE, MI 4806658

Fuel System Cleaning at Gordie's Garage Inc

Over time, different parts of the system get dirty, which robs you of performance and hurts your fuel economy. Most ROSEVILLE vehicles have fuel injectors, rather than a carburetor. Fuel injection systems have fewer problems and require less adjustment. But they still need to be properly maintained. This is why your owner's manual has a schedule for cleaning your fuel injectors and other parts of your fuel system.Some ROSEVILLE residents are interested in buying fuel system cleaners that they can pour into their gas tank.
