First, you need a copy of the invoice. The component must be in the original packaging with no damage or missing pieces. The company will not accept returns for used, installed, or tried-out products. Furthermore, electrical mechanisms are also not returnable.
Please note that there is a 15 percent restocking fee, and the request must be submitted within 30 days of the original purchase.
One of the most overlooked components for vehicle maintenance is the set of windshield wipers. Most drivers don’t even think about replacing them, but a dull pair of blades can put you in danger when it starts to rain.
Here in BC, the winters can be harsh. A build-up of snow or ice on your front glass is an annoying - albeit common - occurrence. One thing you can do to prolong the lifespan of your wiper blades during the cold season is to defrost the windshield and scrap away any snow/ice before turning them on. If you don’t the resistance could cause the piece to snap in half. It may also be helpful to get the vehicle warmed up with the heater while you are waiting for the ice to melt.
Another tip is to replace the set of blades twice a year. Designed to last for approximately six months, you will start to notice smearing, squeaking, or skipping when they are showing signs of excessive wear.
Other proactive actions you can take include keeping the glass clean when you stop to refuel at a gas station and remembering to never activate the wipers on a dry window.

The braking system is vital to safe driving. That’s why maintaining all components including the brake rotors is crucial.
The main reason why brake rotors need to be replaced is simple wear and tear. Every time you step on the brake pedal, these rotors are subject to damage due to friction. With repeated application, the metal material is slowly worn away over time. Most manufacturers recommend swapping them out for a new set every time you replace the brake pads. This is more of a “two birds one stone†tactic to avoid potential problems later on and to save you time at the mechanic.
Another reason why brake rotors need to be changed is warping. As these discs are being used, they are constantly being heated and cooled. With time, the tolerance for this process is reached and the metal begins to distort. This deformation commonly occurs with towing or going uphill frequently. Finally, cracks may also be grounds for a transition of parts.
So, what signs should you look for to know if your brake rotors are bad? Squeaking as you step on the corresponding pedal is one, and pulsation is another.

While there is a slight disagreement among mechanics, most will concur that oil filters should be changed before your vehicle reaches the 10,000 miles (16,093 km) mark.
Many manufacturers state that oil filters are fine anywhere between 6,000 and 10,000 miles (9,656 and 16,093 km). However, some technicians will tell you to swap it out every time you change the oil. This will put the maintenance about every 3,000 to 5,000 miles (4,828 to 8,046 km).
Another factor that may contribute to when this component needs to be replaced is the type of driving you do on a daily basis. Extreme conditions that may require early maintenance on the oil filter can include the following:
Frequent stop and go/rush hour traffic
Plummeting or soaring temperatures
Traveling down dirt roads
Riding through dusty areas
Towing excessively heavy loads
This filtration system is responsible for keeping your engine properly lubricated. Clean oil is vital for the overall health of your car, truck, SUV, or van. Take a look at your owner’s manual for specific details about your model’s maintenance timeline.

In most vehicles, there are over 40 components that make up the braking system to enable you to come to a complete halt. One aspect that you might not know about is the brake rotor.
These are circular discs that are connected to each wheel. Two are located in the front, and two more are positioned on the back. Designed to turn kinetic energy (motion) into thermal energy (heat), the brake rotors are a crucial part of the mechanism as a whole.
When you step on the brake pedal, the calipers push the brake pads together. This causes friction across the rotors’ surface which then directly resists the spin that the wheel wants to continue making. As a result, the speed of the vehicle is slowed down until there is no more movement.
There are four types of brake rotors including the following:
Blank and Smooth - These are equipped on most passenger models, and they have no design or indentations on the surface.
Drilled - This model comes with holes.
Slotted - Lines or long/thin slots have been carved into the metal.
Drilled and Slotted - Typically used for enhanced performance, this version has both slots and holes.

While cabin air filters tend to be changed regularly when you go in for routine maintenance, engine air filters can sometimes be overlooked. However, it is very important to swap old ones out for new models periodically.
Recommendations may vary, but most Ford vehicles need this component change approximately every 30,000 miles. This may be less if you typically drive in extreme conditions or on dirt roads. Always remember to check in your owner’s manual for specific details pertaining to your automobile.
If the engine air filter is clogged, it can result in poor acceleration, decreased throttle response, and premature wear/tear on the motor itself. The following signs could be indicators that it’s ready to be replaced:
Difficulty when idling
Strange sounds
Black smoke coming from the exhaust
The check engine light is on
The filter looks dirty or has black spots
To inspect this mechanism yourself, you can pop the hood and locate the air filter housing assembly. Open it by either removing the screws or releasing the latch. A good filter will be white. off-white, red, or yellow. The dirtier it is; the darker becomes.
