Steve & Stacy's Servicenter Stay Headed in the Right Direction, CharlestonPosted October 22, 2017 3:13 AMPower steering is standard on nearly every vehicle in Charleston, WV, these days. Now there are some exotic, new types of power steering systems, but for the most part, the general setup is a pump that's driven by a belt powered by the engine. Contact the automotive professionals at Steve & Stacy's Servicenter in Charleston for questions about your power steering. The pump generates power that assists drivers as they steer their vehicle around Charleston, WV. Power steering systems use hoses to move pressurized fluid back and forth. These hoses can develop leaks so it's a good idea to have Steve & Stacy's Servicenter inspect them at every oil change. In addition to providing a boost, the fluid cleans, cools and lubricates the power steering system. Over time, the lubricants and detergents diminish so Charleston drivers need to replace their old fluid with clean, fresh fluid periodically. At Steve & Stacy's Servicenter, we use a detergent to clean the system, flush out the old fluid and replace it with new fluid.

Steve & Stacy's Servicenter To Save Gas Around Charleston: Keep up with Your Scheduled ServicePosted October 10, 2017 9:56 AM
One topic that hits the news in WV on a regular basis is the price of gas. The answer for some WV drivers is to buy a vehicle that gets better fuel economy. For those of us in Charleston who don't want to add a car payment to our monthly expenses, we need to improve our fuel economy any way we can. Steve & Stacy's Servicenter Stay Safe in Charleston by Putting Your Cell Phone on ICEPosted October 2, 2017 10:14 AMWe don't want to think about it, but each Charleston resident who drives or rides in a vehicle is potentially an accident victim. In the worst-case scenario, those people are unconscious and unable to communicate with WV rescue workers. Rescue workers and Charleston police are well aware of this difficulty, even if the rest of us don't stop to think about it. They can all recount stories of searching through glove compartments, pockets, wallets, purses and cell phone directories for a person's name and for contact information for someone who can help them get the person the medical care they need. This contact information is critical in an accident because Charleston medical workers need to know about allergies and potential drug interactions. Also, in WV, some medical treatments can't be provided without authorization or consent, and there can be insurance and billing issues if the person's medical care is not properly arranged. ICE provides a solution for these concerns. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency and is a way for others to quickly identify emergency contacts in your cell phone. Bob Brotchie, a paramedic from Cambridge, England, developed the idea for ICE in 2005. It soon spread around the globe. The system is simple, affordable and highly functional. Charleston rescue workers can tell you that they can't always find purses and wallets at the scene of an accident. But these days, almost no one in WV goes anywhere without their phone. To add ICE to your phone, simply put ICE in front of the names of those people who should be contacted in case you are in an emergency. For example, “ICE-Dad,” or “Ice-Deborah,” or “ICE-Dr. Mitchell.” Charleston rescuers can quickly identify and access this information, saving valuable time. The only thing Charleston drivers have to do after that is to keep their contacts current. Every time you change the batteries in your smoke alarm, it is a good idea to double-check your phone and make sure your ICE cell phone numbers are up-to-date. Of course, we'd rather avoid an accident in the first place. It's good advice to keep up with preventive maintenance (we can help you with that at Steve & Stacy's Servicenter in Charleston) and practice good car care and driving habits. Those can go a long way to keeping you safe on the road. Planning for the unthinkable helps your rescuers find the information they need quickly. Let's put the world on ICE.
