Archive for May 2021Upsizing Wheels and Tires With Jud's Best Auto ServicePosted May 30, 2021 7:14 AMMany Medina drivers want to accessorize their vehicle - you know, make it theirs. One of the easiest ways to get a custom look is to get some new wheels. There are thousands of wheel designs at Medina area tire shops to get you the look you want. And for many Medina drivers, that look includes bigger wheels. It used to be that cars came from the factory with 15 or 16 inch wheels. Now 16, 17 and even 18 inchers are standard. And the factories are offering optional wheel packages up to 20 inches or more. So let's talk about what to consider when you want to upsize your wheels. It's not exactly a DIY project, so you need to know a thing or two before you get started. The most important term to know is rolling diameter. The rolling diameter is simply the overall height of your tire. Unless you want to modify your vehicle suspension, you'll want to keep your rolling diameter the same when you upsize your wheels. Stop by Jud's Best Auto Service to learn more about how you might upsize your wheels or tires. You'll find us at: Jud's Best Auto Service
Battery Replacement at Jud's Best Auto Service in MedinaPosted May 23, 2021 9:40 AMHello, welcome to Jud's Best Auto Service. Today's focus is batteries. It seems like everything in Medina runs on batteries. Of course, the batteries we're most concerned with here at Jud's Best Auto Service are those in our customer's vehicles. Just like the batteries in our smoke detectors or TV remote, they wear out and need to be replaced . This can be thought of as the power output used to start a cold vehicle engine. The number of cold cranking amps you need depends on your vehicle and where you live in OH, specifically how cold it is. (Many Medina drivers have first-hand experience trying to start their car on a cold winter morning.) The two factors are that the colder your vehicle's engine is, the more power it takes to turn the engine over to get it started. It has all that cold, sluggish oil to contend with. So if you live where it's cold in OH, you need a battery with more cold cranking amps than you do where it's moderate or hot. The battery that originally came with your vehicle was based on averages. At Jud's Best Auto Service, we like to remind Medina drivers that they should always get at least as many cold cranking amps as their vehicle manufacturer recommends but may want to upgrade if they live where it gets real cold.

Automotive Tips from Jud's Best Auto Service: Tire Replacement OverviewPosted May 2, 2021 11:53 AMTires are an expensive purchase, so knowing when tires should be replaced is important for Medina drivers. Tires will just wear out with normal use. The depth of the tread on your tire determines how well it will stop, start and steer – especially in wet conditions. 4/32th of an inch (3.2 mm) of tire tread is considered a safe amount of tread. | ||
