Automotive Industry News & Information - The Auto Repair Place

If you spend much time on the road, you’ll eventually encounter a flat tire on your vehicle. At The Auto Repair Place in Boulder, CO 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.

With fleet trucks and large diesels, one issue plagues them more than any other; neglected maintenance or repair. At The Auto Repair Place in Boulder, CO, we can take care of your entire fleet, no matter how big or small, making sure it stays on the road for years to come.

At The Auto Repair Place in Boulder, we understand that safety and driving comfort are largely dependent on truck maintenance. Driving in the rain can be a hassle, especially if your vehicle isn’t prepared.

Essentially, there are a few things you can do to ease the burden of driving in the rain. Keep good quality windshield wipers installed, maintain a clean windshield, and regularly coat your windshield with Rain-X or comparable water-resistant chemicals. If applied properly, water-resistant coatings will dramatically increase visibility on rainy days. Quality windshield wipers, in good condition, are equally effective.

If your wipers don’t completely wipe away water with each pass, get them replaced. Driving in the rain is hard enough; inadequate equipment to deal with the situation only makes it that much more difficult. A clean windshield also goes a long way...rain won’t wash off the dirt that has had adequate time to adhere to your glass.

If you need new wipers, bring your truck to The Auto Repair Place and let one of our experienced technicians get you fixed up. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our team has you covered.
