Cars Are Made Up Of Approximately 30,000 Parts! There are so many different parts in a car, it is almost impossible for the average car owner to know all of them. That's why it is so important to hire a knowledgeable technician to repair your car when there is a problem. You might know of a few of the more common auto parts such as the battery, engine, headlights, brake pads, and more. But there are hundreds of parts you may have never even heard of, like the combination valve, distributor, spacer ring, fuel injector, and more. So, if you ever bring your car in for repair and it takes longer than you'd like it to, remember, your mechanic has to consider every one of those 30,000 parts before he can pinpoint the problem and get it back to you in perfect condition! Here at Denver's Quality Automotive, we strive to get you back on the road as quickly as possible. And, while occasionally, it may take longer than you'd like, we guarantee that it will be done right!

How Long Should You Stop at a Stop Sign? • The duration of the stop isn’t determined in many state laws.

Failure to stop at a stop sign can result in several consequences, depending on which state you committed the violation. • Stop signs are generally red, octagonal figures with a white margin and text. Every driver knows what a stop sign is. It’s commonly a big, octagonal red plate with the word “STOP” printed in white. This sign has one instruction only, and you don’t need rocket science to figure it out.

How Long Should You Stop at a Stop Sign? The duration of the stop isn’t determined in many state laws, including California.

Winter Driving Check Your Tires. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: your tires are perhaps the most important part of your car. As you head into icy road season, you should make sure that the tread on your tires is still up to par. There’s an easy way to do this: all you need is a penny. Insert the penny with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you into your tire’s tread groove. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time to replace that tire – the tread is less than 2/32 of an inch, and the tire is not safe to drive on. Don’t be surprised if your tires start to look a bit deflated. As temperatures drop, so does the the air pressure inside your tire – the pressure inside your tire will drop about 1 psi (pound per square inch) for every 10 degrees that the outside air temp drops. These three quick fixes will go a long way in keeping you safe on the road this fall.
