Remember when you were a teenager and learning how to drive?  Do you remember receiving your driver’s license from the local Department of Motor Vehicles?  How about that first drive with nobody else in the vehicle? Sure, it was probably a long time ago, but for most of us it was a major milestone in our lives.  For me there was a tremendous feeling of excitement and freedom that came with being able to drive on my own. The responsibility that came with driving really didn’t surface until much later.  Now as a parent with teenage drivers, my attention had been focused on the responsibilities of my children, and as a parent to keep them and everyone around them out of danger.  The first step was to get them the proper training for on and off the road. This begins with a study of the new driver handbook and an approved driver education course where they learn the rules of the road, road signs and traffic laws.  Next, they can learn how to opera ... read more

We have all experienced that feeling of cruising down the road, sun shining, wind blowing, listening to your favorite music and out of nowhere…that ugly red or yellow warning indicator pops up on your dashboard. You’ve got a problem!  What do you do next? That all depends on what you see. The first thing you should do is identify the color and type of malfunction indicator or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light).  There are multiple MIL’s and these lights come on for various reasons and are specific to a system of the car.  Take note if you hear, see, smell or feel anything abnormal about your vehicle’s operation.  Warning lights will usually fit into one of two categories. If the light is RED, this is serious.  You should immediately look for a safe place to pull the car over and turn the vehicle off as to avoid any further damage to the vehicle or to avoid any potentially unsafe conditions.  Generally, a red ... read more

As we approach the tail end of Summer 2019 in Las Vegas and surrounding communities, it is a time to reflect on what was hopefully a great off season with wonderful memories of vacations, food, friends and family.  It is also the time where the kids are going back to school and families are preparing to commute more with the added scholastic activities. Asian Imports Auto is here to help you navigate safely with a few safety tips.   Be sure to check the tire pressures for proper inflation, especially as temperatures start to change.  Make sure the tire tread depth is at a safe level. The end of Summer also marks the beginning of monsoon season in the Southwest United States and it’s a good time to replace those dried out, scratchy wiper blades so you will be able to see when the heavy rains come.  Make sure all your exterior lights are functioning as there may be cloudy dark periods during your daytime commute. Returning to school may m ... read more

We talked about how getting your car’s oil changed on time can improve engine performance and gas mileage, but these aren’t the only benefits of regular oil changes! The following is a list from our Subaru repair shop in Las Vegas of the last few benefits of getting your car’s oil changed regularly: Vehicle emissions- Did you know that regular oil changes could actually help your vehicle to pass an emissions test?

Increased engine life- Did you know that friction and wear are two of the main causes for engine failure? The good news is that both of these issues can b ... read more

Are you the type of person to religiously change your oil every few months? Or are you the kind of person that puts off your oil changes as long as you possibly can? It can seem like a drag to have to get your oil changed so often, but it isn’t just a ploy for Nissan repair shops in Las Vegas to get extra money from you. Changing your oil regularly is essential for your car! The following is a list of the many benefits of getting your oil changed regularly: Engine performance- Oil is a lubricant that keeps all of the moving parts in your vehicle’s engine clean and running smoothly. If you wait too long between oil changes, the oil becomes grimy, and it can’t properly do its job –it could even potentially harm you engine. On the other hand, if you get your car’s oil changed as recommended by its manufacturers, you will enjoy a smooth, quiet ride each and every time you drive your car. Gas mileage- Even though gas prices are low for the moment, no one w ... read more
