Revenues at car repairs and auto-parts stores are rising despite the slump in the U.S. auto sales this year. But why is there such a bid difference between these 3, when they are basically bounded to each other? Well, old vehicles are grinding out more miles, and need replacement parts and repairs almost each month. The vehicle fleet is still getting older every single year, in spite of our record sales, So you’ve got a significantly larger population of vehicles that require service and are coming in for service pretty regularly. Car dealers didn’t use to handle so...
When it comes to driving cars with an internal combustion engine, catastrophic is not a word you generally want to hear. That’s especially true when the car in question has 707 hp and goes by the name Hellcat, be it the two-door Dodge Challenger or the four-door Dodge Charger. Going through the latest recall from FCA – which affects 1,209 Hellcat models sold only in 2017 – we don’t see catastrophic mentioned specifically. However, we can’t think of a better word to describe a rapid and sudden loss of oil that can seize the engine, spray onto the windshield, and po...
California is the number 1 state in United States when it comes to plug in hybrid cars and battery electric models. Well, that’s not much of a wonder since the state offers numerous local and statewide incentives, and many utility companies reward customers for choosing an electric car over a fossil-fuel powered vehicle.

Hyundai currently does not offer a pickup truck in the United States. Hyundai plans to launch a small SUV called Hyundai Kona in the United States later this year. People familiar with the automaker's plans said the pick-up truck is expected to be launched in...
American Motors couldn’t offer enough money to subject the original Jeep Cherokee, the first modern SUV - to a traditional durability testing program ahead of its late 1983 launch, but its chief engineer Roy Lunn, who died in 2017, Aug 5th, at 92 years, steered around the obstacle by securing credentials for the punishing Paris-Dakar Rally. Lunn's engineering team prepared two Cherokees for the event, not to compete but simply to run the brutal desert course and monitor how the Cherokee's "uni-frame" body would take the constant pounding over the bruising, potholed 6,20...
