The Bauer Auto Service Guide to Caring for Your TransmissionPosted February 20, 2014 12:00 PMMost vehicles have automatic transmissions, yet a lot of Cold Spring drivers only have a fuzzy understanding about what a transmission does. Think back to the last time you rode a bike in Cold Spring. You started out in a lower gear and shifted to higher gears as you went faster. Down shift for hills, stuff like that. Think of your legs as the engine – there's an ideal speed you can pedal and you change gears to leverage the work you're doing. At Bauer Auto Service, we routinely service transmissions with six speeds and several have seven or even eight speeds. As you can imagine, this means more parts. Any they all have to fit into roughly the same space. Transmissions are computer controlled these days, with some high end transmissions having two or three computers. Transmissions are engineered to last. But they are also engineered to tighter tolerances. If a portion of the transmission is starved for lubrication, it can lead to failure. It's really important for Cold Spring area drivers to carefully follow the manufacturer's transmission service schedule. At Bauer Auto Service in Cold Spring, we hope you never become shiftless in Cold Spring because you didn't take care of your transmission. Bauer Auto Service
Getting the Right Tires and Wheels in Cold SpringPosted February 14, 2014 12:00 PMA lot of people get custom wheels in Cold Spring. When you do this yourself (over the internet . . .) you could run into trouble if you're not careful. Sometimes, once they're mounted, they just don't fit right. The tires rub in turns or on bumps. You don't want that. Consulting your Bauer Auto Service tire professional can ensure you get the right fit. First he'll ask you a series of questions about your Cold Spring driving needs and what you want in your new wheels. Now, not every wheel can go on every car. Care must be taken so that tires and wheels are not too large or that the wheel is centered too far towards the outside or the inside so the tires rub. Bauer Auto Service Automotive Detective Work in Cold SpringPosted February 11, 2014 12:00 PMThere's a reason we use the word “diagnose” when we talk about fixing cars in Cold Spring. Figuring out what's wrong with your vehicle has a lot of similarities to figuring out what's wrong with someone who is ill. Vehicles are a mass of complex systems that can produce a variety of symptoms when something goes wrong. As with human diagnoses, a specific symptom may be indicative of a number of problems, and figuring out the specific cause takes training and experience.
