What do you want to know about?


Most likely if you are reading this blog, you are of the age to drive. You may get into your car every day (or use to when you weren’t on campus), start it up, and take off without even thinking about what all goes on to get you where you need to be going. We all use our cars but never stop and wonder why it does what it does. A car is a complex combination of many different systems that allow the car to perform all the things necessary to work properly and get the driver to the preferred destination. Many people drive blind and don’t understand the simple things on a car, and when these things break the person gets upset and storms into a automotive shop or dealer demanding an explanation on why its not working properly.

So here at Automotive Advancements I am going to start writing about different functions a car performs so that you, the reader, can understand the basics of what all goes on under the hood that allows you to get where you need to be. These functions a car performs have changed over time to new forms of technology that have made life even simpler for a driver, therefore causing the driver to take for granted even more that the car will work when they put the key in the ignition. So if you have often sat in your car and thought: “I wonder how that works?” Leave a comment, and I will try to answer your questions!

How about the very basics? What are the top, say, three or so things should you know if you know absolutely nothing about cars?

yeah, so those people who know absolutely nothing about cars... that would be me. i think it would actually be helpful to know the top 3 things about whats under the hood. maybe you could show a picture of where to check the oil, how exactly to jump a car, etc. like i said, i know NOTHING about cars!
