Obviously, your brakes are essential. However, it’s easy to neglect or ignore brake issues, and even miss them altogether; as long as the truck still stops, many people don’t see the need to have their brakes serviced. From AV Automotive Inc in Upland, CA, here are some common brake issues, and why you should fix them.

muffler system

The exhaust on your truck is an important series of components, that work together to insure smooth, reliable operation. At AV Automotive Inc in Upland, CA, we also know that exhaust systems are especially susceptible to damage and rust; pipes, mufflers, and other parts are exposed to hazards on the road, and to the environment. This situation, combined with caustic emissions and extreme heat, create a perfect opportunity for problems to arise.
