Automotive Industry News & Information - Kuper's Automotive

If you drive a Dodge, Chevy, or Ford diesel pickup, you know the amount of hard work your truck puts in. You may also be aware that diesels run a little dirtier than your average gas burner. At Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, CA, our goal is to keep your Duramax, Cummins, or Powerstroke truck on the road for many miles to come. A huge part of that is keeping your oil maintained.

Your vehicle configuration determines how it should be properly towed to avoid transmission damage. Specifically, it matters if your vehicle is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive and whether it’s an automatic or a manual. From the professionals at Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, CA, here’s how to tow your vehicle:

I love the dedication to diagnose and repair of my vehicle. I had just sold my Buick and then within hours the Service Engine Soon came on. The buyer questioned me and I offered to bring it in to Kupers. I made the appointment online and took it in early at 6:30. The shop was able to get it right in. The cost has increased but that was expected with prices the way they currently are. Randy called me and told me what was going on. I okayed the work to be done and told the current owner. I brought them with me as the transmission is needing worked on. Randy explained it all and the owners said that they would bring the car there in a couple months. They said the car runs beautifully and they are very happy! They will bring the Buick there for the smog and transmission and further maintenance. I am very happy too! Kupers will be my shop for my new Nissan Juke.

When you think about diesel engines, you probably think about large trucks and machinery, and maybe a few oddball cars over the years. So how long has diesel really been around, and why is it used the way it is today? At Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, CA, we have the answers.

At Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, we understand that safety and driving comfort are largely dependent on truck maintenance. Driving in the rain can be a hassle, especially if your vehicle isn’t prepared.

Now that you’ve got an idea of the components that make up a diesel system, and what they do, understanding how the system works in a more cohesive way isn’t difficult. At Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff we understand what’s going on in your fuel system while your diesel engine is running.

On gas engines, the fuel delivery system is pretty simple - an electric pump draws gas from the tank, and pushes it to the injectors. Diesel systems are a little more complex. At Kuper's Automotive in Red Bluff, CA, we like to keep you informed about what’s on your truck, how it works, and how to maintain it, so you stay reliably on the road.

Your brakes have a lot to do with how your car drives. Brakes are a frequently neglected item on a lot of people’s checklist, and many drivers on the road have subpar brakes and don’t even know it. A car that brakes well and brakes correctly are just as important as acceleration, handling, or any other aspect of a vehicle’s drivability. A car with brake issues has the potential to be a far more enjoyable ride when fixed.
