Does Your Car Have A Recall Item?
Posted in Maintenance on August 21, 2015
No matter how well they’re made, cars are bound to have problems with their design or manufacturing. Think of all the moving parts. When the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the automobile manufacturer to issue recall notices to Columbus residents and to fix the affected cars free of charge. The auto maker then tries to contact all Columbus car owners who own that type of car so they can have it taken care of at their Columbus service center.
To find out if your car has any recall issues, give us a call:

These recalls always affect safety, so Columbus drivers would be wise to take them seriously. It’s really easy to find out if a vehicle is being recalled. For links to government sites, look in the AutoNetTV website.
Other website include: carfax.com; autobytel.com; and dmv.org. All of these sites have free recall searches.
Recalls are pretty serious for Columbus motorists and don’t happen all that often. But sometimes cars have less serious problems that Columbus motorists still might want to know about. For these less serious cases, auto makers issue what is known as a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB. These bulletins tell Columbus service centers (including Tuffy Tire & Auto Service) how to repair a problem that occurs frequently or is especially difficult.
Your Columbus tech receives updated information through subscription plans, which are sometimes available in consumer versions too. Columbus drivers can buy access to these for an annual fee.
