At Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, we know there’s a lot of conflict on when you should maintenance certain things on your truck. We also know there are consequences to neglecting maintenance; the difference between a truck that breaks down all the time and a truck that has covered over a million miles virtually trouble free all boils down to maintenance.

Every time you get into your diesel truck you probably forget all the safety features your vehicle has for you in case of an accident. Airbags are one of the greatest features of modern diesel trucks, though they aren’t often considered until you need them. From Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, KS, here’s a nod to one of the better vehicle advancements of our time and why it's important not to ignore warning signs.

Obviously, your brakes are essential. However, it’s easy to neglect or ignore brake issues, and even miss them altogether; as long as the truck still stops, many people don’t see the need to have their brakes serviced. From Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, KS, here are some common brake issues, and why you should fix them.

Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play. The battery of your vehicle holds electrical energy while the car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you allow our team here at Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.

When you see tires advertised, you’ll often see the word “radial” attached to it. What does this mean, and where did radial tires originate? Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, KS is here, with answers to questions you weren’t even asking.

Exhaust systems are one of the most neglected aspects of most vehicles. Exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and mufflers are exposed to heat, emissions, and road damage. While your exhaust system is fairly simple and straightforward, these conditions mean it is inherently prone to rust and damage. As a result, this system is often one of the first systems you will have trouble with on your car.
