At Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, KS, we have seen our fair share of preventable engine failures.

While some dash lights are fairly benign, others indicate imminent trouble. This guide from Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, KS will prepare you for the next time your vehicle shows you a warning you shouldn’t ignore.

At Dale and Ron's Auto Service Inc in Lawrence, we know the key to making your vehicle last; good maintenance. An overwhelming percentage of the problems we see, especially the really catastrophic ones, are a result of poor maintenance. While properly maintaining a vehicle can seem a like a bit of a hassle, it is absolutely worth the payoff. Good maintenance is the only difference between a car that lasts 80,000 miles and a car that lasts 400,000 miles. Preventative maintenance and repair when a problem occurs are are your two concerns, and both will keep your car on the road far longer, if observed properly.
