cooling service om your car,
truck or van before your sum-
mer holiday you could save
big dollars in the long run.
The CarCare Canada of the
Automotive Industries Associ-
ation of Canada would like to
show you a couple of ways to
save money by investing in
proper service of your vehi-
cle’s cooling system.

1. Save labour charges (or your
own time, if you do your own
work) by taking care of all neces-
Sary replacements at one time. “s

When one hose or drive belt
needs replacing, you're likely
to find more in marginal con-
dition. Rubber components
under the hood live in a hostile
environment, surviving tem-
peratures ranging from sub-
zero to more than 118 degrees
C., circulating up to 28,000

N GUARANTEED

We offer:

17th St., Castlegar

Cooling System Service:
Doing It Right The First Time

litres of coolant per hour at up
to 7.2 kg of pressure. They
warrant periodic attention.

Have the system pressure
tested and inspect all hoses,
clamps and connections.
Hoses may become spongy
and soft, or, in some cases,
brittle. Also, belts should be
inspected for sign of cracked,
frayed or glazed condition.

Note: The radiator pressure
cap serves as the safety valve
in the cooling system.-The
pressure test, available at most
service dealers, not only will
disclose existing or potential
leaks in the systein, it also can
detect a faulty pressure cap.

2. Save gas with an efficient
vehicle. An engine, like your
body, has an optimum operat-
ing temperature. Most engines
run in the 97 - 113 degree C.
range, controlled by the cooling
system thermostat. But fuel
economy will drop as much as
10% - 20% when engine oper-
ating temperature falls below
53 degrees C.

The small investment to
replace a faulty thérmostat
soon can pay for itself, not
only in gas savings but also in
terms of reduced engine wear.

for Quality in 1994.

Periodic Inspection of Braking
System Can Save Lives and Money

When is the last time
you drove your vehicle
into a repair facility for a
preventative brake
check? Probably never,

since most of us don’t,

think about our brakes
until they need attention:
corrective vs. preventa-
tive maintenance.

The “free brake inspec-
tion” frequently adver-
tised by the auto repair
trade is an offer usually
passed up by the public,
even though brake fail-
ure tops the list of
mechanical failures
feared by drivers. It also
is the leading cause of
traffic accidents
attributable to mechani-

An ideal time to have
this inspection done is
when the vehicle is on

in quality. The “price”

bargain. The better grade
