Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/05/2018 -- Big Oak Citgo, a gasoline service station, recently published a blog describing the importance of receiving a cooling system service at recommended intervals.

This family-owned and operated station encourages drivers to be aware of when it's time to change their car's coolant, which is a mixture of antifreeze and water. The main reason to change coolant is to replenish additives in the antifreeze, which can deplete over time. Neglecting to maintain a car's cooling system can threaten an engine's longevity and result in costly repairs.

Drivers can obtain coolant change intervals by checking their car's maintenance schedule. Intervals are based on either mileage or time. Most coolant change intervals fall between two and five years. There are many different antifreeze formulations, each specific to a particular new car manufacturer, and types should not be switched or blended.

The blog gives more detail regarding what coolant is, why it should be changed, and when service is due.

A cooling system service consists of coolant replacement, a visual inspection of the cooling system, a coolant fan operation test, and a thermostat operation test. Big Oak Citgo offers cooling system services as well as all car maintenance items for drivers who live in Morrisville, PA, and free check engine light scans in Levittown, PA, and surrounding areas.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2017 -- Big Oak Citgo, a family owned and operated auto repair shop near Morrisville, PA, is sharing their expertise on why today's vehicles don't need winterizing in the company's latest blog post. The blog goes on to say that due to design advancements in today's car, there isn't much a vehicle needs for the winter except maybe snow tires.

In addition to snow tires, Big Oak Citgo also sheds light on some simple and basic maintenance services to keep vehicles up to par during every season, and not just the winter. For one, a car's battery should be changed if it's over five years old. Waiting until battery failure is never a good idea, and neither is waiting until the last minute to replace wiper blades. Faulty wiper blades may increase the risk of an accident during inclement weather as well as windshield damage if not taken care of appropriately. In fact, a car will not pass a PA auto inspection in Morrisville, PA or any other area if the wipers are broken or working inadequately.

Big Oak Citgo knows their customers are busy and it's hard to find time to make auto repair or maintenance appointments. Because of this, Big Oak Citgo offers flexible scheduling options including early morning and late night drop-offs, emergency appointments, and wait for appointments. In fact, drivers can also request an appointment or ask a question through their website.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2017 -- When it starts to get colder out, the experts at Big Oak Citgo see an influx of customers with rodent problems. Rodents like rats, mice, and squirrels find their way into vehicles to stay warm, which can cause serious issues for the owner of the vehicle. Some car manufacturers use soy or other bio-based ingredients for their wire insulation so these pesky creatures can make a meal out of the wiring harnesses.

Occasionally, rodents chew through wiring to gain access to an automobile, but in most cases, they enter through the ventilation system or tires. They often nest in the air box that contains the cabin air filter, which creates a huge mess. Big Oak Citgo can fix issues such as these, and they also serve as a tire store in Yardley, PA.

One of the more common signs of rodent damage is the check engine light. The engine control module is effective at keeping track of wiring and is normally the first indication that there's an issue, like a rat chewing through it.

The best way to ward off these animals is by making the car as unattractive as possible for them. Park inside, or at least further away from trees and shrubbery. Don't leave food or garbage in the car. If that doesn't solve the problem, traps are incredibly useful as well.

The knowledgeable technicians at Big Oak Citgo have experience handling these types of issues. For more information regarding rodent damage and how to prevent it, please read their blog post by clicking here.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/08/2017 -- The brake repair experts serving Morrisville, PA, Big Oak Citgo, are excited to announce a new post on their blog, reviewing indicators that automobile owners need to be aware of. It is important for drivers to realize that there may be an issue before it's too late. That realization could be lifesaving.

These days, braking systems are quite complex. The braking control systems in a majority of cars today almost completely stop cars from skidding. The brakes are appropriately proportioned to each wheel in order to stop the vehicle in as short a distance possible while controlling wheel lockup. Cars are safer than they've ever been before and that is mostly due to the innovation and improvement in brake technology. It is crucial to monitor and take care of these systems. In order to do so, drivers must know what to look for, as well as what to listen for.

Not only will failing to notice something is wrong with a vehicle, especially a brake system, lead to more serious and more costly problems down the road, but it could result in tragedy. Those fearing something may be wrong with their automobile are urged to make an appointment and bring it to Big Oak Citgo for maintenance and brake repair near Yardley, PA.

For more information regarding the indicators mentioned above, please visit their blog post by clicking here. To learn more about this company, or to schedule an appointment, please call them at 215-310-0598, or browse their website at http://www.bigoakcitgo.com.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/10/2017 -- Big Oak Citgo's expert service advisers ask the questions necessary to fit a driver's new tires not just to the car, but his or her life as well. "Things like how, when and where you drive are important factors in choosing tires," said Mike Cooper, manager of Big Oak Citgo. "We are now able to match tires to your use, not just your car, allowing us to offer safer, quieter, and often more economical tire choices."

In this month's blog, Big Oak Citgo discusses some of the important factors a driver needs to consider when choosing tires. The pros and cons of tread wear ratings, speed ratings, and tread design are offered as examples of the tradeoffs necessary to find the perfect tires for the car, and the driver's life. Some of the examples from the blog include; a higher tread wear rated tire is usually rated lower for wet and dry traction, and a tire with high speed rating can often reduce ride comfort.

Big Oak Citgo has recently purchased state-of-the-art wheel alignment and tire balancing equipment. This new Hunter balance and alignment equipment demonstrates Big Oak Citgo's commitment to provide the tools necessary to service and repair today's complex vehicles.

Whether a driver needs auto repair services near Morrisville PA, or auto repair services near Levittown PA why not let the pros at Big Oak Citgo help?

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2017 -- Capable of handling all types of auto repair in Morrisville, PA, Big Oak Citgo would like to announce that they can also fix and perform maintenance on a vehicle's air conditioning system. With the hot summer months about to arrive, now is the perfect time to have an air conditioning system serviced to make sure it is functioning correctly before it is too late.

If the air conditioning is turned on, but the air coming out of the vents is not cold, obviously something is wrong, and it is recommended that it is brought in for inspection. Even if the air coming out is cold, there still could be something wrong, although the signs aren't as obvious. If the unit is making strange sounds, like rattling or clicking, that is cause for concern. There could be some debris clogging the system, but it could also be something worse. If this is the case, it should be brought in immediately before the problem gets worse, and then the cold air stops coming out.

Another sign to be on the lookout for is strange odors emanating from the unit. This could be from a growth of mold somewhere within the system. It needs to be checked out immediately as it can cause respiratory problems or other health issues.

Leaks are also a common sign of a problem with the unit. If there are stains inside the vehicle, which can often be found under the front floor mats, there is something wrong. Low-pressure air blowing from the vents can also be a sign of a leak.

Drivers need to be aware of these signs and react without delay if they come across them. For the best air conditioning services and car repair in Morrisville, PA, please call Big Oak Citgo at 215-310-0598 to schedule an appointment or visit their website at http://bigoakcitgo.com/ for more information.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2017 -- Big Oak Citgo, a premier auto repair shop in Morrisville, PA, announced that they have acquired two systems from an industry-leading automotive engineering company, Hunter. The products obtained by Big Oak Citgo include Hunter's HawkEye Elite wheel alignment system, and the SmartWeight Touch wheel balancer. Big Oak purchased the two systems at a time of year when vehicles need balancing and alignments the most.

"With the high volume of potholes that turn up by late winter and early spring, many cars will need realignments and balancing in the upcoming months," said the mechanics at Big Oak Citgo. "In Southeastern Pennsylvania where pothole numbers are high, we recommend annual balances and alignments."

Hunter's HawkEye Elite alignment system is considered the industry's best, and is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for brands like Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover and more. "Don't think they're solely equipped to handle just luxury vehicles," said the Big Oak mechanics. "Any car would be thrilled to get an alignment from a Hunter HawkEye system."

Big Oak's other new acquirement from Hunter is a SmartWeight Touch wheel balancer, which according to the Big Oak Citgo mechanics, "has all the best accoutrements that make it possible for us to balance your tires with superior precision." Some of those features include the ability to hide weight behind wheel spokes, proprietary smartweight software, and exact fit mounting cones.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/02/2017 -- In an article just released via their website, the leading car maintenance shop servicing Morrisville, PA and nearby areas, Big Oak Citgo, explained in detail information pertaining to vehicle tires, and what to look for when getting them replaced.

The write-up starts off by offering readers a glossary of tire-related terms. "When you're looking for sizing, you'll want to find a series of numbers that read something like 'P215/65R15 95H,'" said the mechanics at Big Oak Citgo. "The first set refers to width, then aspect ratio, and the final numbers refer to wheel diameter." The article explains in further detail. It also explains general tire-related terms, like load index (the maximum weight a set of tires can withstand) and aspect ratio (the height of a tire's cross section to its width).

Next, the article delved into other information, explaining things like how to determine the right PSI, why outside temperature is important, how to read modern monitors and indicators, and the reasons why rotations and alignments are crucial.

Big Oak Citgo also made a compelling case for why their shop is the best in Bucks County for a tire replacement. The shop has access to all models of tires for competitive prices, and includes a team of ASE master certified technicians. "There are a million quick lube places where you can get new tires, but they're full of under-qualified recent tech school grads. We employ a team of experienced technicians, and our prices are comparable to those other places," said the technicians.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/29/2016 -- The leading auto repair shop serving Fallsington, PA, Big Oak Citgo, released a write-up via their website offering tips and facts about car batteries. The article recommends that car owners replace their batteries every five years, and urges drivers not to wait until batteries die to make those replacements.

Big Oak Citgo's article reminds drivers that it is a good idea to replace batteries before they fail. A failing battery will cause starter and alternator overheating and possible failure.

Big Oak is reminding people that replacing at failure is not a smart strategy. The shop's article sheds light on the common warning signs of a dying battery. According to the write-up, sporadic issues with starting are common. "Say your car starts fine today, but tomorrow it won't fire up, then two days later it starts again, and so on. More often than not that indicates a failing battery," said a Big Oak Citgo mechanic.

The article also notes that slow and intermittent cranking are common indicators of faulty batteries. Learn more about the warning signs in the article.

Big Oak Citgo's write-up recommends making replacements every five years, and says that batteries rarely last beyond six years.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2016 -- Big Oak Citgo, the leading mechanic shop and provider of PA auto inspections to Yardley, PA area car owners, announced that they now offer free child passenger safety inspections to anyone who is interested. The inspections come with no catch or purchase necessary. Big Oak Citgo made the announcement in light of their shop manager, Mike Cooper, attaining his Child Passenger Safety (CPS) certification. As a CPS, he is qualified to perform the inspections, and educate parents and guardians on vehicle child safety best practices.

In a coinciding write-up just released via the shop's website, Big Oak Citgo offered parents safety tips for maintaining safe vehicles post-inspection. They also offered statistics. According to Big Oak Citgo, citing Safe Kids Worldwide, one young person is fatally injured in a roadway accident every 90 seconds. Furthermore, for every fatality, there are 10 injuries faced by youths. Roadway injuries are the number one culprit of accidental child fatality in the United States.

Big Oak Citgo's article urged parents to use the proper car seats for their children, according to age, height and weight. Infants and toddlers should use rear-facing car seats, while young children should use forward facing mechanisms. Older children, up to around 12 years, should use booster seats.

The article also advised parents to learn the facts about their vehicles' child safety mechanisms, like safety locks, window locks, interior trunk releases and so on. Big Oak Citgo will walk parents through their vehicles' mechanisms during inspection.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/27/2016 -- Big Oak Citgo, the top auto mechanic shop in Yardley, PA, released a write-up on their website explaining the importance of antilock brake systems (ABS). According to the company, properly operating brakes are more integral to drivers' safety than any other component of a vehicle.

ABS systems work by monitoring speed sensors that are mounted at each wheel. When the brake pedal is applied and a wheel begins to skid, the ABS system takes over braking control and pulses the braking effort at the wheel that is beginning to skid. This serves to prevent wheel lockup and skidding, allowing the driver directional control.

Major components include wheel speed sensors, Hydraulic pump and valve systems, and a computer based controller necessary to make braking decisions. A yellow warning light is visible in the dashboard to warn drivers in the event of system failure.

Big Oak Citgo's article urged drivers to keep a few things in mind if their vehicles have ABS. For one, they encouraged those who have never operated a car with the system before to take their car to an empty parking lot and practice applying the brakes at speeds over 10 miles per hour (ABS does not kick in at lower speeds). The write-up also reminded drivers that their brake pedal will likely rapidly pulsate when the ABS is on, and to not take their foot off the brake when they experience such sensations.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/29/2016 -- The leading car repair shop serving Yardley, PA, Big Oak Citgo, says supporting local businesses—regardless of the industry—is an imperative aspect of creating a successful community. Big Oak Citgo is an active local small business leader in Bucks County, and is currently shedding light on the reasons why supporting nearby companies makes sense as a whole.

According to Big Oak, first and foremost, buying local is smart for stimulating the economy in that respective area. By shopping through independent retailers and service providers, more capital sticks around that community, and will undoubtedly flow between other businesses in the area. When that happens, it only means a stronger economy for that particular community.

Local business owners are also more invested in the towns in which they operate, says Big Oak, to make its second point. Because small business owners are actually residents and members of the communities they serve (for the most part), they tend to be more invested in getting to know their customers, who are also their neighbors.

Big Oak Citgo has been fulfilling Morrisville, PA's auto mechanic needs since 1994, and over the years, they have taken the local-business-owner-as-community-member ideology to heart. They are known for putting their community's needs ahead of all else, and have built their business upon the foundation of maintaining strong relationships with their neighbors, and being proactive members of their geographic area of operation.

He added that "it's plain and simple. There is no fine print. Just common sense."

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/29/2016 -- The well-regarded auto repair shop in Yardley, PA, Big Oak Citgo has been servicing vehicles in Southeastern Pennsylvania for over 20 years. And since the company often gets questions from puzzled car owners regarding mileage-based maintenance, Big Oak decided to write an article addressing some of those common concerns.

In the write-up, Big Oak Citgo urged its readers and customers not to ignore taking their cars in for mileage-based maintenance. They started by equating procedures as such to visiting the doctor or dentist for regular checkups. "Even if you don't think you're sick, issues could be quietly hiding," said the article, which continued to explain that much the same ideology can be applied to car maintenance.

Next, the article addressed the "why, how, what and how much," which are the most common questions car owners ask, according to Big Oak Citgo.

As for how often, Big Oak Citgo recommends that car owners follow their manufacturers' mileage-based maintenance schedules. The schedules are provided in vehicle owner's manuals, or Big Oak can print them on request. Some of the common services included in mileage-based maintenance include oil and oil filter changes, tire rotations, spark plugs, timing belts and various inspection items designed to keep drivers' cars safe and reliable.

Yardley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2016 -- "There are many benefits of getting your repair work done locally, rather than the dealership" said Tom Cooper, the longtime owner of a well-respected Yardley repair shop called Big Oak Citgo. For car owners these days, Cooper recommends they "consider taking their repair work to local shops instead."

Big Oak Citgo just released a write-up on its site explaining why replacing the dealership with a local place for repair work is a smart move.

"The internet has really changed things. With Yelp, Facebook, Google Maps reviews and the like, bad customer reviews can be crippling for businesses," Cooper said, acknowledging that local shop owners are more conscious of their perceived images today. Big Oak Citgo has been revered by car owners in Bucks County for over 20 years, for its friendly and knowledgeable staff and honest prices.

His business' article also explained that dealerships often have high turnover rates among mechanics. "At a shop comparable to Big Oak, turnover is low so you'll get the same people time and time again who really know your car. We're in the business of building relationships," he said. The article compared the experience of finding a solid local mechanic to that of having a trustworthy barber.

Big Oak Citgo reminds customers on its site that it depends on long-term relationships, and strives to continuously build their trust. To read the article in full, or to make an appointment, please visit Big Oak Citgo's website. The shop can also be reached 215-310-0598.
