How to Avoid Distracted Driving

The majority of drivers don’t realize how dangerous driving actually is, and how much a simple activity inside the vehicle can contribute to that danger. The problem is also all the other drivers on the road who may be distracted or worse. Staying focused and aware is one of the most important aspects of driver safety.

Automobiles by themselves are full of distractions such as audio systems, storage compartments, and entertainment systems. Drivers add their own distractions to the mixture such as food, drinks, and electronic devices. Passengers are just one more factor that contributes to distracted driving. Watch this video for more reasons why it’s so important to stay focused and what factors are the worst distracters on the road.

Automotive collisions are the most common side-effects of distracted driving. Contact Hubler Express Collision at (866) 246-2129 for expert collision repair in Indianapolis.

Save the Time and Energy of Cleaning Your Vehicle by Bringing it to Hubler Express Collision

The automotive and collision repair industry isn’t just about fixing vehicles when they are experiencing problems—although that is a large portion of it. Hubler Express Collision expands this expected range of services and truly thinks about customer satisfaction. Automobile detailing is not only a great way to have a vehicle looking like new again—it increases its value, improves protection, and gives the owner a feeling of pride. Read about some of the detailing services offered by Hubler Express Collision and why they’re important.

Exterior

• The paint, finish, and exterior elements of a vehicle are some of the most neglected aspects, although they are some of the most important. All these areas of the vehicle suffer from driving, exposure to the elements, and contaminants such as dirt, chemicals, and bird droppings. Over time, the paint will fade and become chipped and scratched, and the exterior will suffer from dents and dings. Exterior cleaning, polishing, waxing, and buffing will bring a faded finish back to a brand-new shine. Chips can be repaired, and modern paintless dent removal will take care of nearly any dent or ding. There are also services for mirrors, wheels, tires, and more for a perfect exterior appearance.

Interior

• The interior of a vehicle requires an entirely different type of maintenance. Detailing services will clean, freshen, and protect interior components such as the dashboard, trim, seating, and carpet. It’s not only pleasant to ride in a clean vehicle, but it will keep it protected in the long run and maintain the vehicle’s value.

Repair

• In many cases a vehicle needs more than just simple cleanup and detailing processing performed. Luckily, there are a number of repair services available for both the interior and exterior. It’s not uncommon for wheels to suffer from curb rash and exterior trim to crack or fade, but both of these areas are able to be easily repaired. Interior qualities such as leather, vinyl, fabric, plastics, and carpeting are all able to be fully repaired and restored.

Hubler Express Collision in Indianapolis is proud to offer all of these services and be more than just a collision repair shop. Call us at (866) 246-2129 to schedule an appointment.

"Check Engine" Light Come On? Here Are a Few Possible Causes

Modern vehicles do a lot for their owners, such as keeping them safe, entertained, and informed. The onboard computer and monitoring systems are also more advanced than ever before. When a problem arises somewhere in the vehicle, the computer will recognize it and alert the driver—usually through the form of a warning light. Nobody wants to see their vehicle’s check engine light come on, but the local auto repair center will have it fixed in no time. Take a look at the following common causes for a check engine light and why it’s so important to visit the shop immediately.

Oxygen Sensor

• Exhaust gas from the engine enters the exhaust system and passes by an oxygen sensor on its way out the tailpipe. The purpose of the oxygen sensor is to ensure that the vehicle’s engine is mixing proper amounts of air and fuel for optimum performance. If this piece of equipment fails it will usually cause a check engine light as well as poor fuel economy and performance.

Catalytic Converter

• After passing the oxygen sensor, the exhaust gas is forced through the catalytic converter. This piece of equipment turns many of the toxic byproducts of combustion into less harmful compounds and reduces pollution. If it becomes clogged or contaminated, it will cause the vehicle to fail emissions and show symptoms similar to a failed oxygen sensor.

Ignition System

• The engine completely relies on the ignition system to properly perform. When pieces such as the spark plugs or wires fail, it will not only make the check engine light come on, but usually cause the engine to run poorly.

Mass Airflow Sensor

• Air flowing into the engine is measured by the mass airflow sensor which helps the computer know how much fuel to use. Over time this component wears out and sometimes completely fails. It causes the same symptoms as the rest of the components discussed above.

Identifying which component is the cause for a check engine light is sometimes more complicated than it seems. The best option is to leave it to a full service automotive repair shop such as Hubler Express Collision in Indianapolis. Visit our website, or call us at (866) 246-2129 to learn more.

How Proper Following Distance Can Help You Avoid a Rear-End Collision

The road has many dangers in store for drivers, and many of those dangers come in the form of other drivers on the road. Modern vehicles give drivers many safety advantages, but to truly avoid an accident and the need for collision repair it takes the efforts of the driver as well. Defensive driving is the tool that all drivers need to stay safe on the road.

Defensive driving is made up of many different techniques, and each one gives drivers a better chance to avoid a collision.
