Cheaper And More Profitable Comebacks On-The-Car Lathe



New rotors prevent comebacks and are cheaper and more profitable than an on-the-car lathe


THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- In some cases, a new rotor should be machined to match the vehicle with an on-the-car brake lathe.

- The main advantage of these lathes is that they are able to cut a rotor in its operating plane.

- This means that the rotor is machined to match the hub.

Does A Car Warranty Mean I Take The Car To The Dealer For Maintenance?


Does A Car Warranty Mean I Take The Car To The Dealer For Maintenance?

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- When you buy a new car, it usually comes with a bumper-to-bumper warranty, which covers components like sensors, electrical components and the air conditioning.

- But those warranties don't cover regular maintenance (such as oil changes), and things like new tires. 

- You can take your car to independent service center for the routine work, or even do it yourself, without affecting the warranty.

- Make sure to have the air pressure checked on a regular basis.

- Under-inflated tires wear out faster and your vehicle uses more gas as a result of the increased rolling resistance.
