- Vehicle Condition: Ignoring repairs could lead to additional damage, which may not be covered by your insurance.
- Liability Risks: If you're at fault in an accident, you may be responsible for all repair costs if you choose not to use insurance for repairs.
- Warranty Violations: Most car warranties require repairs to be done by certified professionals, so not using insurance for repairs could void your warranty.

August means Brake Safety Week (August 24-30) is approaching, a great reminder to keep your brakes in top shape so you can stay safe on the road. Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle, yet many drivers overlook the warning signs that it’s time for an inspection or repair.
At JCR Auto Repair, we know safe driving starts with well-maintained brakes. Here are a few key signs that it may be time to get your brakes checked:
1. Unusual Noises
If you hear a high-pitched squeal or grinding when you hit the brakes, that’s a clear sign your brake pads may be worn out and need to be serviced. Ignoring these noises can lead to brake failure and more expensive repairs down the road.
2. Vibrations or Pulling
Does your steering wheel shake when you brake? Or does your vehicle pull to one side? This could mean your brake rotors have lateral runout, or your brake system has frozen/sticking components. Both are issues that should be checked by a professional.
3. Soft or Spongy Pedal
If your brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or goes lower than usual when you press it, it’s time to have your brakes inspected right away. This could be caused by things, such as a brake system leak, air in the brake system, an internal ABS pump failure, or a number of other things.
4. Dashboard Warning Lights
Many newer vehicles have brake warning lights on the dashboard. If that light comes on, don’t wait, have your brakes inspected as soon as possible to avoid bigger problems later.

Oil Filters are one of the most critical maintenance items in your vehicle. Motor oil is the “life blood” of your vehicle’s engine. It primary purpose is to lubricate the engine and carry or suspend contaminant through the oil filter in order remove them from the oil. The oil filter works with the engine oil to block contaminants from entering your vehicle’s engine.
If you live in an area where temperatures regularly dip below 45 degrees F in winter, yes.
What if I live somewhere cold that doesn't get much snow?
You still need 'em—there's a reason they're called "winter tires."
"The rubber compound in car tires is only formulated to work within a specific temperature range."
Steve Bourassa, director of products at Nokian Tire in the US,
"When you're designing a tire and a rubber compound, the first thing to think about is the glass transition temperature,"
Bourassa said.
What's the "glass transition temperature"?
It's exactly what it sounds like: the temperature at which the rubber in your tires starts to behave like glass. Below that temperature, the tire "gets very, very hard and very brittle, and it will start to crack," according to Bourassa.
