Springtime is coming! Make sure that you incorporate getting your oil changed into your spring cleaning routine. Oil is the blood of your car. Also, it is important to keep clean oil in your car. Recently, we had a child come in with their parent to get an oil change.
During the short wait, the child asked one of our staff members what would happen if you never changed the oil in your car. Many people know that you have to get regular oil changes to keep your car healthy, but few know why or what oil changes do.
Oil is necessary to lubricant your engine. Without clean oil, it will stop lubricating your engine and it will eventually fail. If the oil isn’t changed, additives like detergent and rust fighters will wear out and the engine will stop being lubricated. Dirt will also begin to accumulate in the oil making it thick which would cause more wear and tear on the engine.
In addition to your oil. we have great deals on new tires! Winter roads in Michigan can be tough on tires. Buy a brand new set with alignment at Mr. Muffler. Finally, Mr. Muffler in Westland, a full-service auto repair shop, is here to service all of your needs. Contact us now.

With freezing temperatures in Metro Detroit, we understand how annoying it can be to remove ice from your car’s 
windshield. As tempting as it may be removing it using hot water is the worst thing that you could possibly do! Pouring hot water over your windshield can cause your windshield to crack because of thermal shock from temperature change. Also, replacing a cracked windshield can be costly.
Take your time and slowly heat up your car using the defrost setting. In addition, most cars these days have remote starts to make it easier for you. If the temperature is very low, only turn the temperature knob halfway to avoid cracking. Another option of course is to go out and scrape your windows. Make sure to invest in a nice scraper that reaches those hard to reach areas.
Also, there is another option for those frozen windows, Prestone Windshield De-Icer. Averaging around $7.00 a can, the de-icer works just as described. Simply spray it on and wait a few seconds for the ice to melt just that easy. Now there are other things you should consider this winter. How are your tires? Bald and improperly inflated tires can lead to slipping and sliding all over the road. At Mr. Muffler we carry most major brands of tires, click here to order yours today.

Living in Michigan we are all familiar with the nasty potholes that come along with Michigan’s winters. As the temperatures fluctuate throughout the year, the ground contracts and expand, add in the salt with the roads and potholes are inevitable. Some potholes may just create a bumpy ride, whereas others can leave you on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck during your 5 AM commute to work. Just a flat tire? You may think so, but depending on how your car or truck hits the pothole, or how deep the pothole may have been, you may have some front end damage as a result of your run-in with Michigan’s worst enemy… the pothole.
Did you recently hit a pothole, had your tire replaced, yet still have a strange noise or a rattle coming from your front end? Does your car or truck seem to pull to one side? If you answered yes to either of these questions you may have front end damage other than just a blown tire and need repair. Having front end damage and not addressing it can cause wear and tear on other parts of your car or truck. It can also lead to pre-mature balding of not only your old tires but also the one you just replaced.
If you have recently hit a pothole, stop by Mr. Muffler in Westland, MI for an honest inspection of your front end. When it comes to potholes, we are experts at ensuring that your car didn’t experience damage other than that of a blown tire.
For more information on damages that can occur after hitting a pothole contact us today. Or, stop in today and have our car care professionals of Michigan get you back on the road as you were before you hit that nasty pothole.
