Your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot of clean air. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Andrew's Diesel, Heavy Equipment, Auto & Tire in Spanish Fort, we ensure you get the best air quality in your vehicle and explain the process of where this dirty air is going to our area drivers.

Your car’s radio and headlights, plus a slew of other important functions, are powered by an electrical current generated by your vehicle’s engine. A vital part of generating electricity is having a place to store it while it’s not being used. This is where your car battery comes into play. The battery of your vehicle holds electrical energy while the car is off in order to help the engine turn over and create a spark to start internal combustion. Without a working battery, your car will not be able to start. If you allow our team here at Andrew's Diesel, Heavy Equipment, Auto & Tire to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.
