We at Weber Automotive want to share with our customers, friends, and followers some important items you should keep in your car in case of emergency to keep you safe.
The first thing you should always keep in your car is a car jack. If you get a flat tire or need to remove or replace a tire for any reason, you won't be able to do so without your jack.
Most cars come with a jack; however, it is always best to check and make sure you keep it in the truck just in case. If your car doesn't come with one, you can find a new jack at almost any auto shop or supply store.
A tire pressure gauge is used to; you guessed it; check the air pressure in your tires! Most cars nowadays have automotive sensors that tell you when your tire pressure is low. But it is still a good idea to have one of these guys handy, so you can restore the air pressure to the proper PSI for your make and model.
Jumper cables are a great thing to keep in your car as well. You can use these to recharge your car's battery if it dies. Say you left a light on overnight on accident, all you need id these jumper cables and another car and you good as new.
Auto emergency kits come equipped with the tools necessary for so many scenarios. They often include flares, a fire extinguisher, gloves, a flashlight. There are so many useful tools in these emergency kits that hopefully you will never need but should have in your car at all times.
If you have any questions about which items you should keep in your car or to schedule a service, contact us at Weber Automotive today.

You are crawling through Cleveland traffic on a July afternoon. The sun hits your windshield, the cabin heats up, and just when you need relief most, your AC turns lukewarm at the red light. Then it cools again once you are moving. Frustrating and all too common. Here is the good news. We diagnose and fix this exact problem every summer at Weber Automotive. I am Bryan Weber, and our team has a simple way to explain what is happening and how to get your cool air back. Why Cold Air Turns Warm at Idle Your air conditioning relies on airflow through the condenser, which sits at the front of your vehicle. While you are moving, natural airflow cools the condenser and helps produce cold air. When you stop, the system depends on an electric cooling fan to keep that air moving. If the fan does not run at idle: Airflow across the condenser drops Pressure in the AC system climbs The vents start blowing warm air In some cases, the engine temperature can also creep up This is one of the biggest reasons AC feels cold while you are driving but warm at a stop. A Quick DIY Check You Can Do Safely If you are comfortable taking a quick look, try this: Park safely, set the parking brake, and pop the hood. Start the engine and turn the AC to max. Use a flashlight to look toward the radiator area. Keep hands and tools clear of moving parts. The electric cooling fan should start running with the AC on. You should see it spin, hear it, and feel airflow. If the fan does not run and yo

If a seller will not let you take a car for an independent inspection, walk away. We have even told shoppers that a free car would be a bad deal, because it needed that much work. When the average new car tops $50,000 and the average used car hovers around $30,000, a smart inspection is not a luxury, it is protection. The Problem: Big Investment, Little Protection Most used cars are sold as is, which means the risk sits squarely on your shoulders. There is often little to no warranty, and cosmetic shine can hide expensive mechanical issues. That is exactly why we offer a thorough pre-purchase inspection, so you know what you are buying, what it needs now, and what it may need soon. At Weber Automotive, we are committed to helping you avoid surprise repairs, negotiate with confidence, and make a purchase you can feel good about. What Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Includes Our used car inspection is built to uncover the truth before you sign: Multi-page, detailed checklist of all major systems Clear documentation with pictures and video when helpful Prioritized findings, what needs attention now and what is coming up Written estimates for any recommended repairs A report you can take back to the dealership or private seller The service is about $210, and in our experience, 98 percent of the time we find more than that amount in needed work. The inspection often pays for itself in negotiation leverage, or by saving you from a money pit. How It Works With Dealerships an
