Cavitation is a leading killer of diesel engines. It’s an interesting process, albeit an expensive one if your diesel engine is a victim of cavitation. From our team here at AV Automotive Inc, here's what you should look out for:

The interior of your car can be difficult to maintain; between you, your kids, and anyone else who gets a ride from you, wear and tear on the interior of your vehicle is constant. Drinks get spilled, burn holes appear, rips and tears happen. Unlike the rest of your car, the interior isn’t made of metal, so it requires special treatment to keep it in good condition.

While diesel trucks are some of the best vehicles on the road today, sometimes maintaining a fleet of them can become overwhelming. Let AV Automotive Inc in Upland put your mind at ease, with our fleet maintenance programs for diesel fleet vehicles.

There are a lot of drivers on the road today with improperly adjusted rearview mirrors, contributing to unnecessary blind spots and potentially hazardous driving conditions. At AV Automotive Inc in Upland, we place a lot of value on efficiency; here’s how to get the most out of your mirrors.

Your injectors are the mechanism that delivers fuel into the cylinders of your diesel engine. As such, they’re clearly important. At AV Automotive Inc in Upland, CA, we will diagnose, maintain, and repair any injector issues you may be experiencing with your commercial or fleet trucks, in a timely and professional manner.

Your drive belts run everything - your AC, power steering, alternator, and water pump are all dependent on the belts that turn them. At AV Automotive Inc in Upland, our goal is to keep your truck maintained, so you’re never stuck out on the road. Drive belts are a critical part of that goal.

Transmissions, while generally durable, can be highly complicated devices. For this reason, they are also expensive to replace, and maintaining one will save you a lot of headache and money in the future. This article from AV Automotive Inc in Upland, CA discusses how your driving habits affect your transmission. While automatic transmissions are by far the most common, there are still a considerable number of manual transmissions on the road, so this article covers both.

If you spend much time on the road, you’ll eventually encounter a flat tire on your vehicle. At AV Automotive Inc in Upland, CA 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.
