			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Get The Right Tires And Wheels At Jim's Discount Tire &amp; Brake" href="http://jimsdiscounttirebrake.napaautotools.com/contact-us" target="_blank"><img src="http://autonettv.com/media/thumbs/CustomWheels_SusanneKelsey_Studio_View_s.jpg" alt="Get The Right Tires And Wheels At Jim's Discount Tire &amp; Brake" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>A lot of  North Kansas City drivers get <a title="Liberty custom wheels" href="http://jimsdiscounttirebrake.napaautotools.com/contact-us" target="_blank">custom wheels</a>. <strong>When you do this yourself ,you could run into trouble if you’re not careful.</strong> Sometimes, once they’re mounted, they just didn’t fit right. The tires rub in turns or on bumps. You don’t want that.</p>
<p>Consulting a tire professional at Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake can ensure you get the right fit. First he’ll ask you a series of questions about your driving needs in Liberty and what you want in your new wheels.</p>
<p>At Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake, we advise North Kansas City tire buyers that <strong>not every wheel can go on every car</strong>. Care must be taken so that tires and wheels are not too large or that the wheel is centered too far towards the outside or the inside so the tires rub.<br />
<strong><br />
If you don’t want to make any modifications to your sedan, you need to focus on the </strong><strong>wheels that fit</strong>. With trucks, some North Kansas City People people like much bigger tires so they need a <a title="Liberty suspension lift" href="http://jimsdiscounttirebrake.napaautotools.com/contact-us" target="_blank">suspension lift</a>.</p>
<p>Also, most Liberty people don’t realize that you need to keep the rolling diameter of your new tires – that’s, like the overall height of the tire – very close to what came from the factory in order for your anti-lock brakes and stability control systems to work properly.</p>
<p><strong>The sedan’s computers that control these systems are calibrated to a certain size tire</strong>. When you go bigger or smaller, the computer doesn’t know what changes you made so it can’t tell how fast you’re going. This, of course, means it sends commands to the brakes and traction control that are based on the wrong speed. If you go with a different rolling diameter, your sedan’s engine control computer can be reprogrammed for the new tire size. <strong>For information on  <a title="Liberty reprogram the engine computer" href="http://jimsdiscounttirebrake.napaautotools.com/contact-us" target="_blank">reprogramming the engine computer</a>, call us at 816.471.5540.</strong></p>
<p>Either way, there are hundreds of wheel and tire choices to choose from in North Kansas City. You can pick the style of wheel you want and then talk with your Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake tire professional about how big the wheel should be – and select the right tire to meet your style, performance, ride and handling needs.</p>

<p>Car trouble? Are you sick and tired of the overheating and the non-stop oil leaks? Sometimes there are things that we can&#8217;t troubleshoot, and well, what mechanics can do &#8211; only they can do. You can&#8217;t always figure out the cause of an oil leak just by your own diagnosis. You would definitely need to see a mechanic in an auto repair shop. But, looking for a good auto repair shop can be a difficult and challenging process. How do you know you&#8217;re picking the right shop? What are the factors you should consider?</p>
<p>The first thing you should do is that you should drop by the shop to check if they have trained, hardworking mechanics and high end equipment. Of course, there are also other things you need to check out. There is always more than meets the eye. An auto repair shop that looks classy and well maintained doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean it can provide you with good customer care, honest work and reasonable prices.<br />
It is best to know something about vehicle repairs so that you are not caught off guard when conversing about the repair. You should also be cautious of the shops that take advantage of an unknowledgeable client. When people sense that you don&#8217;t know much about something, they may grab the opportunity to rip you off, or worse, tell you to have something repaired that isn&#8217;t really broken.<br />
You should also consider feedback about the shop. Ask around. If you know someone who has any experience with that shop, listen to his or her comments. It always pays to be inquisitive.<br />
Do a background check on the auto repair shop. You need to know if the shop&#8217;s mechanics are highly trained and competent.<br />
Ask for a written estimate for major repairs. You can compare prices with other auto repair shops by checking them out yourself. You can give other shops a phone call or visit their websites to do the research to save time. You would also want to check into the quality of materials the shop uses for their clients, and the brands of their parts as well.<br />
You would also want to ask for ongoing promotions and offers to save you money. Make sure you find out about their service warranty. Aside from the rates, you also deserve good customer care. Make sure they entertain all your questions and answer you thoroughly.<br />
Knowing all these factors, you can carefully decide which shop to choose. Don&#8217;t be in a rush though, and don&#8217;t be impulsive. Doing so can save you hundreds of dollars, or cost you a lot. If you live in the Kansas City area, check out a very competent Kansas City Shop. Check out their free services and get your own online quotation. So choose wisely before making that big move. When you finally decide and if you are fully satisfied with the auto shops&#8217; service, you&#8217;re lucky to have found an auto repair shop for keeps! Jim&#8217;s Discount Tire &amp; Brake<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Most North Kansas City motorists know that their owner’s manuals have schedules for preventive maintenance. Things like oil changes, transmission service and so on. They say you should change your oil every so many miles or after so many months. North Kansas City people understand this very well. What they may not know is that there are actually two service schedules: the regular schedule and the severe service schedule.The mileage and time intervals are lower on the severe service schedule.<br />
Now when you hear “severe service”, you may think it doesn’t apply to you because you don’t feel your driving conditions are severe or extreme – it’s just normal everyday driving around North Kansas City. At Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake, we discuss the conditions that manufacturers classify as severe so that you can make the judgment on your own driving.<br />
Most trips are less than four miles<br />
Most trips are less than ten miles and outside temperatures are below freezing in North Kansas City<br />
You drive in very hot MO weather<br />
Driving at low speed most of the time (under 55 mph)<br />
Stop and go driving<br />
Operating your vehicle in dusty, polluted or muddy conditions<br />
You tow a trailer, regularly carry heavy loads or carry a car-top carrier on your sedan<br />
Most North Kansas City drivers operate under severe driving conditions at least some of the time. How do you know which schedule to follow for your sedan?<br />
Carefully think about your driving conditions and decide if you should do your preventive maintenance closer to the severe service recommendation or the regular recommendation. Of course, your Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake advisor can help you with your decision.<br />
At Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake in North Kansas City MO (64116) we install quality NAPA replacement parts. Give us a call at816.471.5540. To learn more about NAPA AutoCare, visit www.NAPAAutoCare.com.<br />

<h2>Today at Jim’s Discount Tire &amp; Brake we’re going to talk about <a title="North Kansas City windshield wiper blades" href="http://www.jimsdiscount.com/" target="_blank">windshield wiper blades</a>. Now that may seem like a pretty mundane topic, but think about how important your vision is: We protect our eyes. If we need contacts or glasses, we taken care of them too. And, well, wiper blades are critical to our vision when we drive around the North Kansas City area.</h2>
<div>
<p style="text-align: center;">We really ought to think about wipers as part of an important safety system. We should think about maintaining safety – not just responding when our wiper blades fail: how many times have you been caught off-guard in Kansas City by the first storm of the season with a streaky windshield you can barely see out of? Or with no washer fluid.</p>
<p>Wiper blades live outside the vehicle, exposed to heat and sun in the Kansas city summer and cold and ice in the Kansas City area winter. It’s no wonder that they get dry, brittle and torn.</p>
<p>We recommend changing wiper blades twice a year – before they’re so damaged that they don’t work. If you replace them in one of your spring and fall oil changes, you should always have wiper blades that can get the job done.</p>
<p>Some of us live in areas with more extreme weather and temperature conditions. You might just live somewhere where it rains more so your blades wear out faster, or you travel a lot and use your wipers to clean bugs and road grime.</p>
<p>If that’s the case, consider a premium grade wiper. There are special wiper material compounds, blade designs and wiper arms that really improve your vision in adverse conditions. There are even special winter blades that don’t get all clogged up with ice and snow.</p>
<p>We can also apply a special windshield treatment that repels rain, sleet and snow as you drive. The increased visibility can improve your driving response time.</p>
<p>When it comes to wiper blades, it’s important to think of it as maintaining this safety component by replacing your blades before they fail. That’ll keep you seeing clearly in all conditions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&gt; *Battery Replacement In North Kansas City *<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; [image: Battery Replacement In North Kansas<br />
&gt; City]<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; *Car batteries wear out just like any other battery and need to be replaced.<br />
&gt; * There are a couple of things North Kansas City sedan owners should know<br />
&gt; when looking for a new car<br />
&gt; battery:<br />
&gt; one is *cold cranking amps* and the other is *reserve capacity*.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Let’s start with cold cranking amps. This can be thought of as the power<br />
&gt; output used to start a cold sedan engine. The number of cold cranking amps<br />
&gt; you need depends on your vehicle and where you live around North Kansas<br />
&gt; City, specifically how cold it is where you live. The two factors are that<br />
&gt; the colder an engine is, the more power it takes to turn the sedan engine<br />
&gt; over to get it started. It has all that cold, sluggish oil to contend with.<br />
&gt; The other factor is that the chemical reaction in the battery that creates<br />
&gt; electrical energy is less efficient in the cold.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; *So the colder it gets in North Kansas City, more power is needed, but the<br />
&gt; available power drops.*<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; If you live where it’s cold, you need a battery with more cold cranking<br />
&gt; amps than you do where it&#8217;s moderate or hot. You should always get at least<br />
&gt; as many cold cranking amps as the manufacturer recommends, but may want to<br />
&gt; upgrade at Jim&#8217;s Discount Tire &amp; Brake if you live where it gets real cold.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; An important note: Batteries may also list the Cranking Amps – CA – number.<br />
&gt; It is the Cold Cranking Amps – or CCA – that is the important number here.<br />
&gt; CCA is the number to use in your comparisons.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Now with all this talk of cold temperatures in North Kansas City, it’s<br />
&gt; important to note that *heat is the real enemy of long battery life*. In<br />
&gt; other words, the damage that’s done over the hot summer months in North<br />
&gt; Kansas City shows up with the increased demands on the sedan battery when<br />
&gt; the weather turns cold.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Now on to *reserve capacity*: It’s a measurement of the number of minutes<br />
&gt; of reserve power the battery has at a given load. The number is more<br />
&gt; important these days because of parasitic drain. Parasitic drain is the<br />
&gt; battery energy that’s used when the key is off. So the power drawn by the<br />
&gt; sedan security system, the remote start system, even the power the sedan<br />
&gt; computers require to maintain their memory.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Reserves are also needed when you make very short trips around North Kansas<br />
&gt; City. You’re not driving long enough for the battery to recover the energy<br />
&gt; it used to start the sedan engine.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; *So go with the minimum recommended by your manufacturer and upgrade if you<br />
&gt; need more.* Talk with your honest Jim&#8217;s Discount Tire &amp; Brake service<br />
&gt; advisor about options. If you need more from your battery, a larger<br />
&gt; capacity battery may be called for.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Batteries are a big ticket item for most North Kansas City motorists, so<br />
&gt; the warranty gives peace of mind. Be sure to ask about the car battery<br />
&gt; warranty at<br />
