When driving around town, your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, we want to help you get the best air quality in your vehicle, but first, we want to explain the process of where this dirty air is going.

Kuper's is amazing! Ever since taking my car here for the first time a few years ago it’s the only place I like to go. They are friendly and honest. They don't try to make me pay for services that aren't necessary and are always honest when it comes to what really needs to be done. I have always appreciated the honesty and always recommend them to people.

The operation of your transmission depends on your hydraulics. Even if that sounds like a foreign language to you, at Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, CA, we speak the automotive language. We want you to understand what we're talking about, so here are the basics of the hydraulic functions behind your transmission.

There are many parts and systems outside of the car’s transmission that is equally as important as the parts and systems inside the transmission. Without them, the transmission won’t do much. There’s no way to transfer power from the engine to the shafts, disengage it to shift the gears, or power the differential without them. Just in case you need us, at Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, CA, we can help keep your transmission in top shape, but here’s what you need to know.
