Instead of replacement, can my muffler be repaired?

When issues arise, it’s not necessarily a given that your muffler needs to be replaced. Custom pipe bending and welding techniques can often be utilized to repair a faulty muffler, saving you money in replacement costs. At OK Tire & Auto Service in Cranbrook, we’ll give you an honest assessment of your muffler issues and never try to upsell you on fixes you don’t need.

old muffler

What are three signs that it’s time to replace your muffler?

If your normally quiet vehicle is suddenly sounding like a race car, it may be time to replace your muffler. The exhaust system is a vital part of your vehicle and it’s crucial to make sure it’s running properly and efficiently. At OK Tire & Auto Service in Cranbrook, we offer full exhaust services and can diagnose and solve issues before they become big problems. Here are three signs that your muffler or exhaust system should be looked at:

  1. Strong fumes. Exhaust leaks can be very dangerous and can put yourself and passengers at risk. They should be investigated promptly.

  2. Thick or billowing exhaust smoke. Excessive smoke is not normal and indicates that your exhaust system needs repair or replacement.

  3. Poor gas mileage. The efficiency of your vehicle is dependent upon the proper running of your exhaust system and muffler. If you notice you have to fuel up more often, you should get a qualified mechanic to investigate the issue.

oil change

How often should I get an oil change on my vehicle?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The frequency of oil changes depends on many factors: driving behaviour, operating conditions and climate. Ultimately, checking your vehicle manual is your best bet. Generally, the recommended range to get an oil change is between 3,000 and 16,000 kilometers. For most drivers, this translates to about twice a year.
