Manual or Automatic Transmission? Which do you Prefer?

The argument has raged on forever! What’s better—a manual stick shift transmission or an automatic one? Well, the answer lies in what you want out of your vehicle. Here are a few benefits which a manual transmission will bring you:

More Speed: If you drive for the speed and want the most power from your engine, going with a manual transmission is the smart move. The acceleration offered from a vehicle when equipped with a manual transmission is usually superior for a number of reasons; most importantly because of gear ratios and the availability for more precise shifting.

More Fuel Economy: Experts claim that in some cars a manual transmission can improve gas mileage by a significant 2 to 5 mpg, compared with an automatic.

Less Maintenance costs: Manual cars, if properly operated, will go for miles without problems. Most automatic transmissions still need to be serviced far more often than manual transmissions. Manual transmissions are also usually cheaper to fix when something mechanical goes haywire. On average, a manual transmission will cost you less to repair than an automatic in the same type of vehicle.

However, there are quite a few pros in an automatic transmission too:

Smoother start: Releasing the clutch pedal in a manual transmission requires practice to ensure a smooth start and gradual transition between gears once the vehicle is in motion. If the clutch pedal is not properly used the car will "jump-start" and might stall. So an automatic transmission is ideal for a smooth start to your car.

More Convenience: If you are fresh out on the roads, there’s nothing like the convenience and ease of an automatic transmission. Many are unwilling to go through the hassle of learning to use manual transmission when there is an option of driving in one gear.

More Multitasking: If you prefer to have your right hand available at all times to multitask then you will definitely prefer an automatic transmission. Manuals need you to concentrate on keeping your car on track, shifting the gears on time, and road hazards.Be it a manual or automatic transmission vehicle, the ASE certified team of mechanics at Mission Car Care, Katy, Tx remain veterans in providing all automobile repair and service solutions.

How to Use your Car AC in Summer

The Air Conditioning system of your car is one of the things which will give you respite from the sweltering Texan summer. Switching on the car AC as soon as you sit in the car is a reflex action but there are a few tips as to how to use your car air conditioning wisely so that it can function longer and better.

1. Let the Windows Down:
The first step is to let the windows down when you start the car and drive around. This will let the hot air out along with cleansing the musty scent inside the car and let the fresh air in.

2. Start the AC in Low:
It is temptation to start the AC at the Max button and feel that blast of cool air as soon as you are seated in the car but one must always begin the car air conditioning at low mode. Actually, normal AC takes air from outside your vehicle, cooling it off, and pumps it inside. The Max AC works by taking the air inside your vehicle, cooling it off, and pumping it back out.

3. Use Recirculation Mode:
Once your AC is turned on, switch on the Recirculation Mode. By doing so you are making sure that the AC system won’t suck air from the outside and it will keep using the one in the cabin. This exerts less pressure on the cooling system.

4. Turn off the AC First:
When you are going to make your car stop and turn off the engine, make sure you switch off the AC first. Keep the fan going for a while to dry out the evaporator and its surroundings. This will prevent the dampness, sparing you from foul smells.

5. Follow a Proper Maintenance Schedule:
Drive into Mission Car Care on Clay Road, Katy, Tx for your car’s periodic maintenance so that your car’s AC and AC fan is checked regularly and cabin air filter is replaced if need arises when inspected by our ASE certified mechanics. We also spray some anti-bacterial substances into your AC’s ducts and vents as part of our service.

To make sure your AC keeps giving you a cool and unflustered ride all summer make Mission Car Care, Katy, Tx your partner in all automobile repair and service.

Engine Problems in Summer

The searing summer heat is on and this kind of extreme weather can be trying for your car leading to a hot engine. It is very common for your car to bother you with problems restarting if you have just turned off the car engine in summers. The best thing to do is be patient and wait for a few minutes until trying to start it again

When your car engine is too hot, fuel cannot circulate well, due to the way vapour obstructs it workings and therefore the engine just will not start, as it should.

How to Cool down your Car this Summer?:
 Top up the Coolant and Check the fluids: Low coolant is the most common cause for engine overheating. The expert team of ASE certified mechanics at Mission Car Care combat this issue with using a properly designed coolant. It is the coolant’s job to circulate and remove heat from the engine. Our team also checks the brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid, washer fluid and engine oil so that your engine is properly lubricated this summer and there is reduced heat build-up.

Check the Electric Fan and Radiator: Are you having over heating problems while your car is stuck in traffic? Bring it into Mission Mission Car Care on Clay Road, Katy, Tx where we will also check the electric cooling fan which is responsible for drawing cooler air through your radiator.

Sometimes your fan motor will just burn out. There is a switch that tells your cooling fan to come on when your coolant reaches a certain temperature; there might also be something wrong with the switch which can be easily replaced. If you have a vehicle engine which uses a fan belt to drive the engine cooling fan, Mission Car Care can easily and affordably replace your fan belt easily if it's broken. We also flush your radiator every year which is the quickest way to fix your car’s overheating problem.

Check the Thermostat: When you are driving fast your engine needs lots of coolant flowing through. If the thermostat doesn't open, there isn't enough flow to keep things cool and you will have a car that is steaming hot.

Check for a Leak: When the outside temperature escalates, the pressure in your gas tank can also increase, which must be vented to prevent the gas tank from deforming. Your car’s  evaporative system is a network of hoses, valves and canisters that manage evaporative emissions from your vehicle. It might be a loose gas cap or a fuel leak in this system which our team will detect to find out the reason for a heated up car.
