Smith Volvo Cars believes that being an informed car owner is important. Did you know that your car can have 100 or more gaskets? Here’s some information on gaskets that every driver in San Luis Obispo, CA can use.
Gaskets are molded pieces of metal or rubber that are used to help maintain seals and connections between moving and stationary car parts. Some of these small parts are made of stainless steel. Others are made of pliable and durable rubber. Gaskets can’t be seen when you look under the hood of your car, so you have to rely on other signs to indicate wear.
A new leak or a loss of performance in your vehicle may mean that you have a bad gasket. It is important that you have your vehicle checked out right away. A damaged gasket could lead to expensive repairs. Gaskets are found on your car’s engine and most of its major systems.
