There are many precautions you can take to stay safe while driving. From following the posted speed limit to always wearing your seatbelt, you should prioritize your safety every time that you get behind the wheel.

Your well-being does not rest solely in your own hands, though. When you share the road with other drivers, you are also at the mercy of how other people choose to behave and drive. While you might treat driving like the serious task that it is, others are far more careless when they are in charge of a motor vehicle. This is where infrastructure becomes crucially important.

Any new sounds or sensations that your vehicle gives off can be alarming. They can definitely make you wonder if something is wrong with your car.

Thanks to power steering technology, most of us are used to our steering wheels taking very little effort to turn while not making any sound. Automobiles are like any other machinery or heavy equipment, though, in that they experience wear and tear, resulting in signs of distress with age or use.

Let’s discover what causes steering wheel problems and the safety dangers posed. Knowing this information may aid you in deciding how critical it is to get a mechanic involved in fixing the issue.

The hot summer months are many people’s favorite time of year. Whether you enjoy swimming, going on vacation, or just spending time with your kids while they’re off school, it’s easy to see why the summer months hold such a special place in so many people’s hearts.

Unfortunately, summer is also a dangerous time to be on the road. The time between Memorial Day and Labor Day has even been dubbed the 100 Deadliest Days for teenage drivers.

As a Columbia resident, you might flock to Lake Murray or one of our area’s other bodies of water and jump aboard a boat as a way to relax or cool off on a warm summer day. You have to be careful when you do so, as the dangers associated with boating accidents are endless.

Even if you are not all that familiar with what is going on under the hood of your car, you’ve probably heard of the transmission before. This vital piece of machinery acts as a gearbox that is mounted onto the engine itself. The transmission then converts combustion power created in the engine into physical momentum.

The average transmission has either five or six sets of gears. When it works correctly, the transmission lets drivers control how much power the car is receiving without making any changes to how fast the engine is running. A well-functioning transmission will ensure that your car engine is not spinning either too slow or too fast.
