The Importance of Well-Balanced Tires and New Auto Repair Technology

Weber Automotive has partnered with Virteom to talk about the meaning of Honest and Fair Auto Repair through video. At Weber Automotive, we aim to be the best in the business. These videos help us inform our customers along with residents of North Olmsted and surrounding areas about their cars and vehicles.

Tire Balancing Machine Simulates Road Pressure to Give You a Smooth Ride

Bryan, the owner of Weber Automotive sits with Jacqui to discuss tires for your car - balance and quality. Weber picked up a new machine, made by Hunter, and it's a wheel balancer that has a road force simulator on it.

Weber Automotive New Tire Balancing Machine by Hunter - Applies 1200 lbs of road force pressure to rotating tire for a smooth ride

There's a spinning wheel that rapidly spins the tire to be balanced and while it's spinning it has 1200 pounds of pressure against it simulating the road force against the tires. So instead of just spinning and balancing it also simulates the road force. What that amounts to is that there an incredibly accurate balance. So the car just rolls on the road super, super smooth.

Matching Tire Changer is Perfect for Low Profile Tires

It's the latest technology, the fifth generation of that type of balancing machine. Weber also picked up a matching tire changer. For the newer, lower profile, performance run, flat type tires it is really a fantastic machine. Everything that contacts the wheel is plastic so you can't possibly scratch a wheel. It makes it a lot easier for us to change it, so the service is quick and efficient.

The Difference of Quality Tire Service on Your Car

We aim to provide the highest quality auto care and the latest technology is a big part of that. How does this compare to an older model tire balancer or one that doesn't apply this amount of force? What's that that additional value using this technology versus an older model? Bryan says,

"It just makes it ultra-smooth going down the road. Most people that have experienced a shake that we've corrected were just like 'Wow! I can't believe how smooth this car is now.'”

It makes a real difference because you might have those wheels on the car for 30, 40, 50, 60 thousand miles or longer. You kind of get used to it, but as soon as it's smooth - every day is like driving a new car, that's the feeling you get.

April 18, 2019 Category: Check Engine Light

Many car owners believe that they can take their cars into any shop when their check engine light comes on and the shop will scan the vehicle and immediately identify the issue. However, the scan does not tell you what the problem is; it only tells you that there is an issue. What Happens When the Check Engine Light Comes On? When the check engine light comes on it means the computer that operates the power train sees something out of its programmed parameters, and that generally indicates theres a problem with the vehicle. At Weber Automotive, we offer a free code scan in order to provide our customers with more value. If your check engine light comes on, we will run our code scanner which gives us direction to tell you where the problem is. From there we can tell you what tests have to be done beyond that scan to determine exactly whats causing that light to come on. The code is not a diagnosis as it does not tell you what needs to be done to solve that problem. Car Doctors It

The Importance of Regular Inspection on Your Vehicle

A full inspection is an important part of preventative maintenance for your vehicle, and you cant get it done everywhere! If you take your car to one of those quick lube businesses, they will inspect your vehicle, but youre only going to get basic checks. Our Policy Unlike many other shops, we have a policy that every time a vehicle comes in a shop for an oil change or whatever it may be that we do a full inspection including a digital inspection. We record whats wrong with any part. We check every light bulb, exterior, and interior, on the vehicle. We look under the hood as seen in the picture below. We check your belts, hoses, fluids, air filter, for oil leaks, and much more. Why We Always Do Inspections The reasons we always do inspections is to serve our customers better. Its better to know about any malfunctions or leaks ahead of time rather than when it causes a major problem. This approach saves you money as repairs, when caught early, cost much less than a full-on replacement.
