In addition to the battery, there are two other
components to your vehicle's ignition system. And these two components must be
in good working order for your vehicle to start and run properly.
![]() |
• Starter. |
|
When you turn the ignition key, you are actually turning on the starter, which then cranks the engine. When a starter isn't working correctly, the engine may start with great difficulty, or not at all. Starter problems may be due to electrical/mechanical failure, or outright breakage. |
![]() |
• Alternator. |
|
The alternator carries out two important tasks. It recharges your battery while the vehicle is running to keep it at peak starting power. The alternator also works with your battery as a team to operate electrical components, such as headlights, windshield wipers, and more. A malfunctioning alternator can cause electrical components to operate erratically, or even cause your engine to suddenly stop running. |

There's a lot of metal under your vehicle's s hood,
most of it surrounding your engine's internal components. And that metal
generates a great deal of heat during driving. So a properly functioning cooling
system, which circulates antifreeze/coolant, is absolutely necessary to keep
heat from building up to destructive levels.
Your car or truck has 5 principal
components to its cooling system.
| • Radiator. |
|
An auto radiator has a set of tubes called the
"core" that the coolant flows through. |
| • Radiator cap. |
|
There has to be a place to pour in coolant and the radiator cap covers that filling hole, while also increasing the boiling point of the coolant to make it more efficient. |
| • Radiator hoses. |
|
The coolant goes from the radiator to the engine through a series of hoses that must be sturdy and flexible enough to handle engine vibration and high heat. |
| • Thermostat. |
|
Like the device on your home heating/cooling system, the engine thermostat keeps the engine at the right operating temperature. |
| • Water pump. |
|
This mechanism drives coolant through the whole cooling system, in addition to the engine block. |
To keep all these components at peak efficiency, Star Brake Service N.V. recommends having a "flush and fill" performed on a regular basis. Old coolant, which over time breaks down and gathers impurities, is drained , the cooling system is flushed with water, and then refilled.

Steering,
Suspension & Alignment
To keep precise control of your vehicle, the ability
to steer properly is
mandatory. And your ability to steer is directly affected by your car's
suspension system and the proper alignment of your vehicle's wheels.If your vehicle has a conventional suspension system, shock absorbers help hold
your tires to the road when going over rough surfaces or making sudden stops. If
your vehicle has a strut suspension (most front wheel drive cars and trucks do),
your car has struts, which perform the same role as shock absorbers.However,
struts are built-in to your suspension system, so they can also affect
vehicle
control, wheel alignment, and even tire wear.Proper wheel alignment allows the suspension, whether it has shocks or struts, to deliver the highest levels of comfort, control, and safety. Warning signs of bad alignment include: steering wheel shimmy; a pull to one side when driving; tire squealing in turns; excessive vibration while accelerating; and changes in direction after hitting a bump in the road. Star Brake Service N.V. technicians can provide free steering and suspension inspections. |
