Fwd: Subaru will not start, towing to

Middletown, NY -

 

Fuel pumps go bad. It just happens, right? But why, that's what good mechanics want to find, the root of the problems.

You know what has not changed with new cars? Preventive maintenance. Following a schedule, repairing things before they cause problems is the key to avoiding tow trucks.

In this case the fuel filter was plugged and blew out part of the fuel pump system as seen here. Can you spot the point of failure?

If you know what to look for you can see that a backup of flow causes higher than specified pressure. That high pressure caused damage to a part inside the fuel tank mounted pump assembly.

If that fuel system was maintained this may not have broken down on the road or I-84 near Middletown NY. We can bring your car up to it's maintenance schedule today, it's usually not a lengthy and much less in price than a breakdown. www.doksontire.com

Alignment Lifted Trucks 4x4

Middletown NY-

4 wheel drive trucks and SUV vehicles require additional time and work to properly bring the tires relationship with the surface into specification.

Different lift kits available for many trucks in stock at everything from low prices to the best engineered brands require careful consideration when it comes to installation and alignment.

Here at Dolson Auto we are re setting an alignment gone wrong, where the chain store had not only forgotten a few steps but damaged the key pin required to retain the cams. Once the pin is missing from the control arm brackets (because it was hammered out with possibly an air hammer?) a new pin would have to be fabricated and welded in. Fortunately there are two pins, one on each side of the bracket saving this client some cost unless the one pin cant hold the cam steady over time. 

We repaired what could be done and reset every angle using Tru-align plate systems coupled with Hunter alignment sensors. Removing rust is a common issue and often these bolts are rusted and stuck. Once loose we oil them to make it easier and resist rust in the future (for the next guy).

Setting lifted trucks is an art and practice as much as science. Often some period of testing and adjustments is required to balance driveability with what the manufacturer wants and real world road feel. Tire life may be a trade off with some drivers desired specifications. Occasionally lifted trucks have thrust line issues and the steering wheel may need to be reset . 

A professional alignment technician will charge for his time by the hour and that's a fair method, after all most people get paid by the hour and on these trucks it may go quickly or it may take time, no one knows until they complete the work. Most will not offer a warranty on custom alignment because these vehicles might get used for their design purpose. Dolson offers a warranty that they will re check and ensure the desired specifications are good for 30 days, by the end of that time you will have enough wheel time to know it feels good!

Window tint law in NY? What is the scoop with ....

Even the lightest tints seem to be unable to pass the new NY State Tin Law Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law  - which does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark. The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light. Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window effective Jan 1, 2017.

Not only can you receive a ticket by an officer, but also it will not be able to pass inspection. Due to the factory windows on most cars having a tint that varies by brand it has been difficult to find a tint that falls below blocking 30% of visible light. Anything with mirror is definitely out. Fades are also not going to pass, the entire window must be clear.

Why cant a shop pass you? Well, new inspection machines have video camera's but more importantly than that, would you like to loose your job or license over someone else breaking the law? The fines could be horrendous but its possible even greater trouble and hassle could be heading your way, after all asking an officer to break the law is a crime in itself. 

If you had an incident and the police look further into the matter its possible they may account for the time of the last inspection. Officers have told us at this time its not a top priority to go looking for tinted windows, but keep in mind having tints looks great - its a nice attractive appearance for sure! But remember the way an officer feels as he approaches a car with tints. That officer is worried about his family, life, and his career - how would you feel approaching a car you knew was already braking a law with a device designed to conceal the interior or occupants? You would be concerned too and that's the point of the NY tint law - safety.

Our peace officers of NY State are here to help and they do great work, lets do our part to help them and keep the peace.
