It's not a good thing to notice fluid on your driveway surface after parking your vehicle. Our service technicians at Morehart Murphy Regional Auto Center want drivers to know the most common fluid leaks that may require scheduling a check-up at our dealership service department.

Hazy, hot and humid weather conditions, as well as running the air conditioner, usually causes a leakage of water from the vehicle, and it's usually not a sign to worry. Amber to dark brown motor oil leaks may lead to an overheated engine and requires checking out.  

Your tires are the glue that makes your car go forward. There is little point in having a stellar engine and transmission if the four wheels that you rely on to get you from one location to the next are worn. Many drivers, unfortunately, know the importance of having good tires but lack the knowledge to understand when it’s time to replace them.

One of the primary signs that your tires need replacing is a low tread. The rigid pattern that makes up the inner parts of your tires are not just there for style. Low tread could mean…

As surprising as it may be, some drivers purchase new tires, have them balanced and aligned yet fail to ever check the tire pressure.

Stop at Morehart Murphy Regional Auto Center, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Often drivers will overinflate their tires if the tire appears to have a “slow leak”. This can be just as harmful as driving with underinflated tires. Although the required tire pressure is listed on the sidewall of the tire…

Auto manufacturers recommend routine oil changes based on driving condition and mileage intervals. Drivers have heard that synthetic oil is better for their cars but they don't know the differences. Let our skilled auto service team guide you through the differences between conventional and synthetic motor oil.

Traditional oil comes from the ground and it has gone through a refinement process. Drivers typically will choose a traditional oil change due to its cost. While in the engine, traditional oil can form a sludge that isn't good for the engine over time. 

The exhaust system on your car, which includes the muffler, has two important purposes. The exhaust system channels your vehicles emissions away from the cab to reduce noxious fumes. The exhaust system also reduces noise so that you don't hear a loud roar constantly coming from your car. Without a muffler, the sound of your Durango, Colorado adventures would be deafening.

If you notice that there is an exhaust smell inside your car, that is a sign that your exhaust may have some type of problem.

Seasonal maintenance is important for drivers. If the car is kept up and has routine maintenance checks, the vehicle is more likely to last longer. By following routine checks on the vehicle, there is more of a chance to discover something wrong before it becomes a problem and more costly to repair. Seasonal maintenance includes making sure that your tires have enough tread to grip the road in winter weather or in wet driving conditions. Your vehicle could hydroplane if there is excess water on the roads and your tires do not have the right level of tread on them…
