Typically, after 3,000 to 5,000 miles, it’s recommended that you perform an oil change. However, the mileage intervals can change depending on the make and model of your vehicle and your local driving conditions.

Oil acts as an essential component to the overall health and functionality of your vehicle. Therefore, it’s essential to pay attention to your scheduled oil changes.

Not necessarily. A certain amount of brake noise is considered “normal” these days because of the harder semi-metallic brake pads that are used in most front-wheel drive cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. This type of noise does not affect braking performance and does not indicate a brake problem. However, if the noise is objectionable, there are ways to eliminate it.

Brake squeal might be eliminated just by having one of Rick Case’s ASE-Certified Technicians - Mechanics resurface your brake rotors.

Some brands of semi-metallic pads are inherently noisier than others because of the...

The condition of the cell plates inside the battery determines whether or not a battery is still serviceable. Current is produced when sulfuric acid in the battery reacts with lead in the cell plates. As the battery discharges, sulfate accumulates on the plates and reduces the battery's ability to make current. The sulfate is returned to solution when the alternator recharges the battery by forcing current to flow in the opposite direction.

Over time, some of the sulfate becomes permanently attached to the plates. The sulfate forms a barrier that diminishes the battery's ability to

When Should I Get My Alignment?

If you’re wondering whether your vehicle needs an alignment, first look at your tires. Uneven tire wear -- often, more wear on the outside of some tires -- is a prime indicator that your car is likely out of alignment.

An out-of-alignment car is a common result of everyday driving. But the term alignment doesn’t really refer to your vehicle’s wheels but rather to the suspension. As part of normal driving, parts of your car’s suspension may become worn, and springs can be stretched out. Even a small accident or bumping a…

It's no secret why folks from Atlanta love crossovers so much. After all, with so much to do and see in the city, having a car that offers a little extra interior space for your friends or your shopping bags is always great. Unfortunately, for a lot of crossovers out there, their interior space can often be at odds with a bulky exterior that simply isn't suited to busy city streets like those in Atlanta. Luckily, there's an option that's both roomy on the inside and both pleasantly compact on the outside, and its name is…

When you're shopping for your next car, you're not purely looking at facts and figures. After all, driving is an experience you're supposed to enjoy, so weighing one car's raw horsepower against another's fuel economy isn't going to paint the full picture. In fact, with many of our new Hyundai models, it's just as much about how a car feels as how well it performs. And few elements elevate a car's overall feel quite like a sunroof. So, if you've got your eye on the immensely popular new Hyundai Tucson, you…

Nowadays, most folks don't go a moment without their cellphones, and that includes their time on the road. Now, we've talked before about how you can use your phone on the go with most new Hyundai models with integrated connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But what if you just need to charge your phone while you're out running errands? Well, you could plug it in to a USB port, but there's a simpler and more convenient way to do so with many new Hyundai cars: just use the Qi-compatible wireless charging pad.

If there's one thing we love about our new Hyundai cars, it's the fact that they bring a wealth of features to the table to check off many of the boxes on our shoppers wish lists. And while some drivers love the peace of mind they get from feature suites like the Hyundai SmartSense safety system, and others adore the convenience of having tech like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at their disposal, one of the most broadly appealing features that many shoppers ask after is all-wheel drive. 

Hyundai has always had a diverse portfolio when it comes to SUVs and crossvers, but with the imminent release of the 2020 Hyundai Venue, it finally has an option fully geared for urbanites. Now, city driving and crossovers haven't always gone hand-in-hand, but with its compact size, economical performance, and a wealth of standard feature for the modern urban driver, we're confident that the new Hyundai Venue will rank highly with city shoppers once it makes its grand debut this fall.
