The transmission in your truck works harder than any other on the road. A fully loaded semi weighs about 40 times as much as a normal passenger vehicle, and racks up twice the mileage.

Are you driving around with a loud scraping sound coming from beneath your vehicle? Chances are, a piece of your splash shielding has come loose under your car. At ECO Engines, Inc in Woodbridge, we can have that annoying sound taken care of in no time.

If you spend much time on the road, you’ll eventually encounter a flat tire on your vehicle. At ECO Engines, Inc in Woodbridge, NJ we want to prepare you for what you should do next. First, get out of traffic immediately. It’s best if you can stop on solid, flat ground, out of the way of traffic where other drivers can see you. Don’t continue driving; your steering is compromised, and you risk damaging expensive components, including your rim. Next, decide whether you want to call a tow truck, or change the tire yourself. If you have towing and assistance then you can call for help but it is always great to be able to handle the situation yourself if need be as there is not always cell phone service and you sometimes do not have the luxury of the added time it would take to wait for that assistance.

Today you will learn when it’s time to fix or replace your headlight assemblies, what options you have in doing so, and what the benefits are.
