Sudden tire failures cause many costly accidents every year. While some of the tires involved in these incidents are new, many others are older tires that have road-related damages. Older tires are often subject to the effects of uneven tire wear, sidewall damage, and slow leaks.

Over time, tires naturally wear out. Healthy tires show evenly distributed tread wear as they age, and this normal wear is generally harmless. Contrastingly, tires that are improperly inflated or balanced can develop areas of uneven tread wear, which in turn can lead to tire failure.

Sidewall damage is another...

 

Even if your Audi has been sitting in your driveway all year, it still needs to be serviced. Vehicles that sit for too long may need to be checked for proper fluid levels, general maintenance over time, or even checked for recalls.

If the battery is in good condition, the voltmeter should read between 12.4 and 12.7 volts. If the voltmeter reads below…

As vehicles age, they tend to go through fluids at a faster rate than when they are new. However, this should be a steady and not only overly noticeable rate of loss. If you suddenly start to see your car consuming far more fluids than it had previously, schedule an appointment at Audi Beverly Hills for service immediately. It could be a sign of a leaking hose and result in major damage to your car's motor if not fixed right away.

Did you make it to Audi Beverly Hills’ Grand Opening Service Clinic at our new facility in the Fairfax District in L.A. last weekend (Feb. 3)? If not, here’s what you missed.

Understanding a little about the motor oil you use in your vehicle and following the manufacturer’s guidelines will save you headaches in the long run. Viscosity is often used with motor oil. It simply means the thickness of the liquid, which in this case is oil. An oil’s viscosity that’s is too low, or thin, can’t lubricate the engine’s parts appropriately. When it’s too thick, or has a higher viscosity, it causes the engine to work too hard.
