Want to road trip in an electric version of the Royal Wedding car? It’s a car fit for a prince and James Bond alike. Tata Motors will launch an electric version of the classic Jaguar E-Type Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drove to their wedding...
Are robots the car mechanics of the future? Bot scientists from Harvard University and the University of Nottingham seem to think so. They’ve teamed up with Rolls Royce to develop snake-like and cockroach-like robots to crawl into your engine and troubleshoot your car. The idea...
We try to stay out of politics at our Cincinnati car garage. In fact, there’s a sign up in our shop of a Bull squatting over a “soccer ball” and the caption “No bull.” That’s a policy we strictly try to stick to, like great...
AT&T just gift wrapped a gift for tech enthusiasts, parents, and anyone else that owns a 1996 car but wants to “smarten” it up. Yes, that Ford Probe with the 6-CD exchanger in the trunk can now get hip to the high tech world post...
If Jack Ryan stops in for brakes or a scheduled maintenance repair for his BMW, we’re ready for him. In fact, it might even be on the house, since he’s so good at fighting evil and all. Amazon recently announced several BMWs will be featured...
Yeah, our mechanics love working on engines, flushing radiators, getting downright filthy. There’s grease under our fingernails from 1982, swear on our mother’s BMW scheduled maintenance plan. (We’ve got you scheduled for this Tuesday, Mom!) But that doesn’t mean we’re not huge tech geeks too....
What’s faster than a bird but light as a feather? A 911 carbon fiber Porsche. California-based Gunther Werks just started developing carbon-fiber car bodies for Porsche 911s. This past August at the the 2018 Monterey Car Week, the company debuted a carbon-fiber exoskeleton alongside its...
Our car mechanics probably get asked this on a daily basis: Just how far can you push a low fuel light, and will it hurt the car? The short answer is you can get away with it a little longer than you might think, but...
Our electrical specialists love tech. These days, cars are pretty much computers with engines and wheels, yet your average driver has no idea how to access the data. Here’s a $60 gadget that could change all that and connect your car’s interface to your computer,...
Our Cincinnati car mechanics hear it all. And we’ve found out over our years of import car maintenance and repair that many car owners are very ill-informed when it comes to both radiator flushes and their heating and cooling systems. Myths abound, and many of...
Brake systems break down overtime. The rubber in the valves in the master cylinder, calipers and wheel cylinders deteriorate. These pieces break off and can contaminate the brake fluid. Plus, water, oil and other dirt and debris can get into your brake fluid. This can cause rust. That’s why many mechanics will recommend you flush your brake fluid every 30,000 miles or so. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but you should have the brake fluid inspected. If the fluid is translucent, you should be fine. When it gets to be dark brown, you may be due for new brake fluid. Brake flushing removes all the old liquid, cleans out your brake system and replaces it with fresh.
