Adams Autoworx Albany offers a wide range of automotive services and repairs, including oxygen sensor replacement. You vehicle’s onboard computer receives information from the oxygen sensor about the amount of oxygen in the exhaust fumes. This information is used to make real-time adjustments to make sure that the air-gasoline mixture is optimal for power, fuel economy and emissions. The typical lifespan of an oxygen sensor is 30,000–50,000 miles. It may seem like it should last much longer – it’s just a sensor, no moving parts, right? Well, the reason for its relative short lifespan is the environment – oxygen sensor operates under high temperatures, and is also subject to bombardment not only by hot exhaust gases, but also by high velocity particulates. So how do you know that the oxygen sensor may need replacement? If you notice decreased fuel efficiency, rough idle, poor acceleration, black smoke from the exhaust, loss of engine power, or the check e ... read more

Subaru Forester 2017 is known for its weak battery, and generally for electrical system issues. Apparently Subaru equipped Forester with batteries that sometimes lasted only 25,000 miles. While this was an extreme example, there are reports of batteries dying just after the end of the warranty period. Fortunately battery replacement is not a complicated nor expensive. If your Subaru needs a new battery, call our Albany auto care shop and we will have a new battery installed and tested the same day. In addition to weak battery issues, some 2017 Foresters appear to suffer from parasitic battery drains, requiring jump starts, or in less severe cases making sure that the car is driven every few days. Another problem faced by 2017 Forester are issues with the key being stuck in the ignition. They can be frequent enough to be a major annoyance.   When it comes to air conditioning issues, owners report that it stops blowing cold air. Consensus is that replacing ac condenser fixes majo ... read more

Tesla vehicles are models of simplicity, with a lot of maintenance typical of conventionally powered vehicles made unnecessary by design. But tire rotation remains one of the services that are a necessity. As a matter of fact, because Tesla, like all EVs, is a heavy vehicle, regular tire rotation is of great importance. Tesla recommends tire rotation every 6250 miles or if the tread depth difference is 2/32 inches or more. Naturally, if you drive very aggressively, more frequent tire rotations may be necessary. Accelerated tire wear is a fact of life for EVs, so we recommend regular tire rotations to extend tire life. While driving a Tesla means that oil changes are a thing of the past, it’s easy to forget about tire rotation. Conventionally powered vehicles get tires rotated during an oil change. Your Tesla will need a tire rotation appointment. The good news is that tire rotation can be performed while you wait, so call our Albany auto care facility to schedule a time to get ... read more
