Proper brake maintenance is very important, but it can be overlooked by many car owners. It really shouldn't, however. Why neglect the part of your car that stops you from moving? You definitely don't want to experience brake failure at the precise time when you need your brakes to work, so to avoid that situation, having your brakes inspected and replaced at regular intervals is a good rule of thumb to follow. If you've driven over 40,000 miles with your car in mostly stop-and-go traffic, the telltale signs of brake wear may be creeping up on you. Bruneel Tire Factory can conduct a brake inspection on your car, so you'll know if you need repair or not.
Stop-and-go traffic can wear out brakes over time. You might hear grinding and squeaking when bringing the car to a stop. The steering wheel might shake, too. Your brakes need to be maintained at all times in order for them to stop your car properly. Listen for these sounds, and also listen for any noises that may occur when you press down on the brake pedal, as squeaks could mean that the brake lining is wearing down. If any of these noises come from your car, bring it in to Bruneel Tire Factory for a brake inspection.
The experienced technicians at Bruneel Tire Factory can diagnose your problem and let you know if it's something you need to worry about. If we find something during a brake inspection that needs to be fixed, don’t worry—we can fix it! Bruneel Tire Factory in Boise does brake service, and we do it right the first time. Right now, we're offering $20 off any brake service we perform. Get your brakes repaired and save some money in the process! Taking the right steps to make sure your car is safe on the road is beneficial not only to you, but to everyone who rides in the car with you.
Bruneel Tire Factory is about more than just tires, and Boise customers have known that for years now. In fact, from now until April 15, we're offering free tire rotations and brake inspections to all of our customers. Bring your vehicle to us and get these routine maintenance procedures done that you may have been putting off. For more information contact your local Bruneel Tire Factory today!

Bruneel Tire Factory's Services and Discounts
Since the 1960s, Frank Bruneel and his son Craig have managed Bruneel Tire Factory, where the family business has provided Boise residents with quality car maintenance, affordable pricing, and preferred warranties. In addition to selling high-quality tires, Bruneel Tire Factory offers several maintenance and repair services, including repairing brakes and replacing shocks and struts every 50,000 miles before control of the car deteriorates. The company also checks and adjusts the alignment of your car to prevent extremely worn tires or a damaged steering system. Bruneel Tire Factory provides car maintenance services as well, such as a full oil change, tire rotation, and transmission, power steering, and radiator flushes. Read More
Radiator flushing helps the engine from overheating. The shop recommends getting one about every two years or 30, 000 miles, whichever occurs first. If you wait too long between flushes, the fluids inside the radiator become dirty and corroded and the engine may blow gaskets or overheat unexpectedly. The radiator flush flushes old antifreeze and other sludge out of the system, as well as removes rust and scale deposits which could cause overheating. By adding new coolant, it lubricates the water pump, which extends the life of the water pump. The shop will thoroughly inspect your cooling system to make sure that your system does not have any leaks.
Bruneel Tire Factory sells tires for all seasons, trucks, and winter use. The Radar RPX900 uses a lower-rolling resistance compound and belt package to create a high-performance, eco-friendly tire. The tire uses a triple tread pattern with a larger rubber to void ratio set, which replaces many OEM fitments in other high performance vehicles. The Mastercraft HTR has a 60,000 miles limited warranty and offers all-season traction. It features offset shoulder slots, which increase traction while offering a smooth ride and high sipe density to assist with winter driving on snow and ice and wet traction.
Right now, Bruneel Tire Factory is featuring a variety of specials. It is offering a Radiator Flush for $79.95, which includes flushing and refilling the system with up to 2 gallons of antifreeze, checking water pump, hoses and clamps and looking at the heater operation. Bruneel Tire Factory also is offering $10 off of Lube, Oil, and Filter, which includes up to five quarts of oil and a new filter. It also features discounts on tires, including the Radar RPX All Season High Performance tire, starting at $59.95, or the DUNLOP Tires Rover A/T All Season Light Truck, starting at $149.99. All specials expire on February 12, 2012.

Winter Driving – The Icy Roads Are Coming
Winter is upon us, and you know what that means—icy roads, slippery conditions, and even resorting to crossing your fingers in hopes that your car starts. If your car isn't ready for this, you're going to be in for a rough winter season. Bruneel Tire Factory can help you get ready for the winter. The ice can be tough to generate traction on, and if you don't have the right tires and have to make a quick stop or a sharp turn, your car could spin out of control unpredictably and possible cause an accident. Older tires may not have the grip they once did, but we've got the tires you need to keep your car on the road. It might be worth it to get new tires before the winter season gets here in full force.
In addition to tires with better traction, Bruneel Tire Factory in Boise also has a great selection of car batteries in stock. In fact, right now we're offering free battery checks and $5 off any battery purchased. We know how important batteries are when the temperature drops, and no one wants to be stranded in freezing temperatures with a car that won't start. Getting your battery checked is one of those things that people tend to put off, until they go outside in the middle of January and the car won't turn over. Preventive maintenance goes a long way to keeping your car on the road in the winter.
Routine maintenance like oil changes shouldn't be neglected either. It actually is in your best interest to get minor maintenance like that done now, before the snow hits. When it gets cold outside, people are more apt to stay indoors as much as possible, and who wants to head out to get an oil change. Bruneel Tire Factory performs oil changes too, so while you're here getting the tires you need for your car, get the oil change you've probably been putting off for a while. Doing it now means that you won't be scheduled for another one until the spring.
So, what are you doing to get your car ready for the winter? If you've already taken the steps to get tires that grip and batteries that last, you're in really good shape. A pre-winter oil change is another good thing to do. To everyone else who may think they'll be able to tough it out, you don't have to risk it! Bruneel Tire Factory can get your car in the best shape possible for the winter. Not only do we have the best tire selection in the area, but we're also offering free battery checks and $5 off battery purchases. Stay on the road this winter with the help of Bruneel Tire Factory!

Tire Siping – Get More Grip For Winter Driving
With winter fast approaching, having tires with the proper traction becomes more essential. The roads get slippery and icy, and sliding off the road or spinning out of control isn't anyone's idea of a good time. Tire siping is a technique designed to improve your tire's performance not only in the winter, but year round as well. If you've never had your tires siped, there are distinct advantages to doing so. Bruneel Tire Factory will sipe your tires—new or used—and help your car gain the extra grip needed to stay on the road in the roughest conditions.
Tire siping is done by putting tires on a special machine that makes 90 degree cuts in the tire tread. These cuts don't harm the tire, but instead create more flexibility and gripping power. Studded tires are often used in the winter to maintain traction, but instead of having to change over to the winter tires, siped tires give you a comparable performance to studded tires all year round—no studs needed! Siped tires improve your braking, stopping, and starting in low-to-medium level snow packs, while also giving you a softer ride even when it's not snowing.
Siped tires can double your traction effectiveness! By siping the tires, the tire edge has several more gripping edges than before, so your braking power increases on rainy or snowy roads. This increased braking power is essential in adverse conditions. Furthermore, the additional flexibility in the tires absorbs bumpy surfaces much better, which gives you a much smoother ride and a longer tread life for your tire. You'll wonder why you hadn't done it sooner! So, while studded tires are good for winter driving, your effectiveness is limited to the winter. Tire siping gives your tires the advantages of studded tires while also providing additional benefits that last the entire year.
Bruneel Tire Factory offers tire siping as part of our long list of services. Buy your tires here, and we can sipe them before installing them on your car. It's an affordable alternative to studded tires, and the year round benefits go much further than just extra grip in the winter time—although that is a definite bonus. Winter driving can be harsh, and doing so on tires not equipped to do the job can be trouble. Come to Bruneel Tire Factory and ask us how tire siping can help you on the road this winter.

Is your vehicle ready for Fall?
Do you smell that in the air? Football season has started, the weather is a little cooler, the leaves are getting a little orange color in them—yes, fall is here. What does that mean for you, and more specifically, what does it mean for your car? If you've been putting off regularly scheduled vehicle maintenance, now is the time to do so. You don't want to be out there stranded when the snow starts to fall, so take this time in the fall season to get your car ready for the change in the seasons. Just as you normally take the spring season to get ready for summer, now is the time, in the fall, to get ready for winter.
The routine maintenance on your car, such as oil changes, should be something you have done on a regular basis anyway, but some people put it off during the summer because they'd rather be on the road enjoying themselves. That's fine and dandy, but as winter approaches, the thought should change to getting through semi-plowed streets. Changing the tires is something that people normally do in the fall. Switching out to those winter tires for extra grip is a good idea, as well as replacing tires that may have worn out on the hot summer streets. Winterizing your car should be a fall ritual, because no one wants to be stranded when the white stuff starts falling. Taking care of that vehicle maintenance now will save you headaches later on.
The autumn is typically a good time to go off-roading or do some hunting. To that end, just in time for the upcoming hunting season, Bruneel Tire Factory has a special just for you. Choose three flushes for just $275 from amongst these types of flushes: Transmission fluid, brake fluid, fuel injection, radiator, or power steering. Also for $275, we'll service the drive train on your 4WD vehicle. The fall and winter are the prime seasons for 4 wheel drive vehicles, so now is the time to prepare for the next six months of rough weather by getting the proper vehicle maintenance.
The old adage goes that if you take care of your car, it'll take care of you. Well, if you take the time now to get the vehicle maintenance your car needs, it'll take care of you all winter long. Idaho winters can get rather cold, but they can be even colder if you have to wait at the corner for the bus every day. Bruneel Tire Factory can make sure that doesn't happen to you. Stop by and get the service your car needs to prepare for the fall and winter seasons.

Don't Neglect Your Car Battery!
You get in your car and turn the key...but nothing happens. It's not a pleasant situation to be in, but unfortunately, this is usually the time when most people think of checking their car batteries. Regular maintenance will keep your battery healthy and you on the road. Bruneel Tire Factory helps Boise car owners stay on the road by offering to check car batteries. While you could check your own car battery, it takes quite a bit of work and elbow grease. The experienced technicians at Bruneel can do it for you, even while you're buying your tires!
A dead car battery can be a pain, especially if you're out in the middle of nowhere. If you don't have a friend who lives near by to give you a jump, you're stuck. Well, you don't have to be stuck if you take the precautions necessary to keep your battery going. It's not necessarily neglect on your part; as stated before, most people assume that if the car starts, then the battery is fine. What they probably don't realize is that the battery loses its charge over time, and much like any other battery, it'll eventually die out.Regular car battery checks should become part of your normal car maintenance routine. While car batteries can be recharged, if the battery can't hold a charge well anymore, then it's time to buy a new one. Bruneel automotive technicians in Boise can tell you before things go wrong so you won't be stranded at an inopportune time. No one likes being stranded for any reason—whether it is a flat tire or a dead battery. Bruneel Tire Factory can help you avoid both of those situations.
Bruneel Tire Factory offers more than just tires! We have a selection of maintenance-free batteries backed with warranties, and they have the cold cranking power needed to start your car in the harshest conditions. Boise winters aren't necessarily kind, and getting the car started in cold temperatures is a definite plus. It pays to get your battery checked out before the weather turns cold so you'll have the peace of mind every time you get in your car. While you might come to Bruneel for the great tires we sell, don't forget about our car battery service while you're here!
