The role of bushings in a car’s
total function

A car has a lot of component
parts that work together to
enable the various automated
and mechanical tasks that make
the vehicle work. Most of a car is
made of metal. Such parts
inevitably connect with each
other through linkages. But if
metal on metal contact was the
norm in such an interplay, this
would be quite uncomfortable.

It’s a good thing that bushings
were invented.
A bushing is a component that
serves as an in-between for metal
parts of a car that are supposed
to come into contact with each
other. Primarily, bushings should
eliminate vibration, because they
are made of a relatively soft
material. Hard rubber mixed with
plastic is the typical formula for a
bushing, precisely because it has
to take in the impact of two
engaging metal car parts.
Without the bushing, the friction
between metals would inevitably
cause a lot of heat. In fact, busted
bushings have caused a lot of
vehicular res in the past.
Bushings also provide cushioning,
which results in giving your car a
comfortable ride. It’s not hard to
imagine how uncomfortable
riding a car would be if the high
activity was not dampened by
bushings.
Bushings naturally degrade over
time. They must be replaced
periodically, and they have a
speci c life span. With a car
service contract, bushings should
be easily maintained so that you
can focus more on going for a
worry-free ride.

Why Your Car’s Small Squeaks
Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Autocare [ updated May 17, 2017, 2:41

There’s a poor habit that some
car owners have, which re ects a
lack of practicing responsible
ownership. Unfortunately, there
are still drivers who tend to
ignore car squeaks. To make
things worse, they even develop
quite a tolerance toward them.
This is a huge mistake.
One must rst have an
appreciation of a car’s basic
construction. It is essentially
made up of various systems, each
composed of moving and
stationary parts. When a
squeaking noise turns up, this is a
sign that something is loose
somewhere.

Since a car is meant to move from
one place to another, mechanical
parts will always inevitably make
things vibrate. The situation is
made even worse if a driver has
poor navigation habits, like
running on top of ruts and
making abrupt movements with
the steering wheel, the brakes,
and the throttle.
An already loose part will never
nd its way back to its original
position. Conversely, it will surely
get worse. If a car runs
consistently with such a nagging
condition, the risk of meeting
accident increases by the day.
It is understandable that a car
owner who is always on the go
might not have the time and
patience to deal with a squeak
that he has no idea where to
trace. But rather than
strengthening one’s tolerance to
annoying squeaks, which is a truly
amazing and also ridiculous skill,
there is always the option of
getting a service contract for the
car. This way, the car’s issues can
be left for the experts to handle,
allowing a driver to have peace of
mind on the road.

Millions of Americans drive their
car to get from one place to
another. In fact, a recent report
notes that Americans logged a
record-breaking number of miles
in 2016. It was also a record year
for car sales.
And for American drivers to reach
their destination safely, their cars
must be in peak condition,
whether they are new or old
models. One of the foundations
of a car in an excellent state is its
tires. A car, after all, cannot move
or do what it is designed to do
without a good set of tires. In fact,
regardless of how excellent a
driver is, poor tire condition will
put them and other motorists at
risk. Statistics show that every
year, about 11,000 tire-related car
crashes happen in the U.S., with
global incidents even higher. And
a survey reveals that 1 in every 4
cars on the road have at least one
tire signi cantly underin ated.

Thus, it is critical that car owners
subscribe to regular tire care.
Checking the tires not only before
a long trip but on a regular basis
ensures that they are
roadworthy. Three things that car
owners have to keep in mind
when conducting inspection are:
Tire pressure. Improper tire
pressure is a safety risk. A
tire can lose pressure when
a car drives over a pothole
or hits a curb.
Tire thread. A car with
excellent tire thread depth
retains traction on slippery
roads. Tires should be
checked monthly for
excessive or uneven wear.
Balance and alignment.
Correct tire balance
ensures that the tires will
rotate correctly and will not
cause the vehicle to shake
while in motion. Proper
alignment, on the other
hand, will keep the car from
veering to the left or right
while on the road.

Peace Of Mind: The Bene ts Of
Purchasing a Vehicle Service
Contract

Autocare [ updated Mar 7, 2017, 2:27 AM

Auto or vehicle service contracts
cover repair costs done on the
car after its factory warranty has
passed. There are added bene ts
to acquiring a service contract,
according to the Vehicle
Protection Association. Some of
these advantages are the
following:
Investment protection
In the U.S., a car is considered by
many people as their most
important asset as it enables
them to get to and from places,

8. 3/19/2018 Blog - Omega Autocare
https://sites.google.com/site/omegaautocare/blog 8/16
such as their work, home, and
school. There is peace of mind
that comes with knowing the
vehicle is covered in cases of
unexpected breakdowns and
ensuing repair costs.

Vehicle longevity
Though not all parts of the car are
covered by service contracts, the
vital components, such as engine,
transmission, transfer case, and
drive axles typically are. As these
parts receive the service they
require, the car can last longer
and perform more reliably.
Increased resale value
If a car being sold is covered by a
vehicle service contract, it is more
attractive to buyers, thus,
increasing the likelihood of sales
success. Most service contracts
can have its ownership
transferred along with the sale
the car.
Financial savings
Possessing a car entails various
related costs, which pushes the
owner to look for means of
cutting expenses. One way of
doing such is to stretch out the
length of the car loan, which cuts
monthly payments but increases
the total cost of the vehicle.

The payment for vehicle service
contracts, which can often be
tted into tight budgets, can be
included in the monthly terms.
Since these contracts cover most
repair costs, there are lesser
unexpected expenses.

How Auto Care Policies Save
You Money

Paying out-of-pocket for
car repairs can cost you an
arm and a leg. In extreme
cases, the car may
demand so many repairs
on a regular basis that it
would be cheaper for you
in the long term to buy a
new one. And while, in
most situations, it may be
better to repair older (or

10. 3/19/2018 Blog - Omega Autocare
https://sites.google.com/site/omegaautocare/blog 10/16
new, out of warranty)
vehicles than to replace
them, the costs of
unexpected occasional
repairs can still feel like a
gut-punch to your
finances.
More often than not, many
vehicle owners may not
have that much money on
hand to pay for the
services on the spot.

You’ll be glad to have auto
care policies when your car
breaks down in the middle
of nowhere at the worst
possible time. Besides
providing the convenience
of covering repair costs not
covered by warranties or
primary auto insurance
policies, an auto care
policy can actually save
you money.
Without sufficient
emergency funds or any
form of coverage to
shoulder the costs of
repairs, you may end up

11. 3/19/2018 Blog - Omega Autocare
https://sites.google.com/site/omegaautocare/blog 11/16
paying through a credit
card and incur a high
interest. Over time, the
debts could pile up and
eventually become
unscalable.
The monthly costs of
paying for auto care
coverage are significantly
lower than the credit card
bills arising from the
repairs, making it an
attractive option for
motorists who wish save
money, avoid debts, and
keep lines of credit open
for other uses. Moreover,
the cost of repairing a
vehicle to a working
condition can also free you
from having to buy a new
vehicle prematurely.
Omega Autocare provides
a broad selection of
comprehensive auto care
service contracts that
provide motorists with the
peace of mind they need
when traveling. Visit this

Finding The Right Vehicle
Service Contract For Your Car
Repair Needs

Many drivers believe that the best
vehicle service contract is the one
that costs least. By taking the

12. 3/19/2018 Blog - Omega Autocare
https://sites.google.com/site/omegaautocare/blog 12/16
driver’s basic data, service
contract companies derive a
minimal charging rate for their
services. However, vehicle service
contracts could sometimes
overlook unique needs and
circumstances of potential clients.
The latter, more than anyone,
should understand his or her own
requirements for vehicle service.

A contract that is perfect for one
might be inadequate for another.
That is why a potential client
must rst examine closely the
current conditions of the vehicle
and then evaluate the options
that were presented, along with
the individual rates of each
element.
In order to arrive at the most
optimizable service contract,
vehicle owners must also
examine the limitations of every
coverage, restrictions, premiums,
and extra fees. They can also
consult independent brokers who
are experts in industry rates and
practices.

It is also important to note that
the plans that an agent can
recommend are merely based on
information provided by the
vehicle owner. That is why the
applicant must be as truthful and
as accurate as possible with the
data that he or she is presenting.
This way, he or she will avoid
being under- or over-covered. It’s
also best to do away with
features of the service contract
that do not respond to the vehicle
owner’s immediate needs.

with vehicle service contracts for
the repair and replacement of
automobile parts and systems not
covered by factory warranties. To

Omega Autocare’s Powertrain
Coverage
posted Oct 25, 2016, 5:43 AM by Omega
Autocare [ updated Feb 27, 2017, 2:05

The powertrain is the system of
mechanical parts that generates
and converts energy in the

14. 3/19/2018 Blog - Omega Autocare
https://sites.google.com/site/omegaautocare/blog 14/16
vehicle’s engine. This energy is
then transferred to the
transmission, which uses this
power to apply torque to the
driveshaft. The driveshaft then
transmits this torque to the car’s
wheels, moving the vehicle.
Image source:
seriouswheels.com
Given the wear and tear of the
powertrain system every time the
automotive is used, a vehicle
repair policy that covers the
occurrences of breakdown or
failure in the powertrain is
recommended.
Omega Autocare, based in
Jacksonville, FL, USA, provides a
powertrain coverage for vehicles
up to 15 model years and with
less than quarter of a million
odometer miles. The basic policy
insures every component and all
internally lubricated parts of the
engine, transmission, transfer
case, drive axles, seals and
gaskets, and hybrid elements, if
any.

There are also two other options
that o er higher levels of
coverage. Its Powertrain Plus
coverage includes the air-
conditioning and heating systems
and the electrical network. The
Powertrain Enhanced, on one
hand, added the engine’s cooling
and fuel systems to the coverage.
Omega Autocare understands the
challenges car owners face after
their vehicle has gone beyond its
factory warranty. With the rm’s
mechanical failure auto policies,
expensive repair bills can be kept
at bay. Its clients are given wide
choices of coverage, depending
on their preferences and
requirements.
Omega Autocare is insured by
Lyndon Southern Insurance
Company and holds membership in
the Vehicle Protection Association
and the Jacksonville Chamber of
Commerce. Find out more details
