Antifreeze is a fluid that’s just as important as oil to the engine in your car, truck, or SUV.

From Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, MO, here’s what you need to know about antifreeze.

Awareness and safety are at the top of our list of concerns here at Lee's Auto Repair, even more so with all the recall scare that happens in the news. We think a well-maintained car is a safe car that can also save you money in the long run. Here are our top ten tips for keeping your family safe, saving you money, and keeping your car running smoothly.

steering wheel

Car enthusiasts would argue that "those were the days". Everything you drove was built like a tank and had the chrome on it so you enjoyed washing it but NO power steering. For most of us, it is hard to remember life without power steering – cranking those great big steering wheels? It was a pretty good workout. Now power steering is standard. The heart of any power steering system is its pump. The pump pressurizes the power steering fluid that provides assistance for steering. Most pumps are driven by a belt that is run by the engine – a few are electrically powered. A high-pressure hose passes fluid from the pump to the steering gear. A low-pressure hose returns the fluid back to the pump. Here at Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, MO we know that you depend on that power steering and check your fluid & hoses religiously!

Turbo

Most commercial diesel engines these days are turbocharged. Turbos dramatically increase power and efficiency, particularly on diesel engines, which makes them a must-have item on engines that rely heavily on both. However, sometimes issues arise in turbo systems; at Lee's Auto Repair in Independence, we can fix that.
