An engine can last anywhere from 50 to 500,000 miles depending mostly on how well you maintain it.

W & W Automotive and Towing in Beavercreek, OH has provided for you some of the determining factors of engine lifespan, to help you make sure your engine lasts as long as it possibly can.

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 W & W Automotive and Towing to perform proper maintenance, an average car battery can start your car reliably for roughly four years.

Your drive belts are simple but integral components to the function of your car, truck, or SUV. At W & W Automotive and Towing in Beavercreek, belts are one of the first things we assess when looking over a vehicle, as they alone are in charge of operating your AC, water pump, alternator, and power steering.
