Home and Car Air Conditioners – Plan, Prevent, and Prolong
Preventative maintenance is as important for your car’s air conditioner as it is for your home’s air conditioner. They both require regular service to avoid problems and consistently work properly. Your home’s air conditioner filter needs to be replaced every three months. Your car’s air conditioner needs to be tested on an annual basis to detect and repair damaged components before they become costly problems.
Eastside makes it easy to remember when it’s time for your annual check-up. Part of our Comprehensive Car Care Program includes sending an email reminder when it’s time to analyze your air conditioning system. Our program helps you:
- Plan for your next scheduled air conditioning service
- Prevent air conditioning problems before they happen
- Prolong the life of your air conditioner
The Mileage Myth
In addition to providing superior air conditioning service, we’re always available to answer any questions you may have about how air conditioning systems work and when it’s best to run your air conditioner.
Many people assume that running your air conditioner uses more fuel than driving with the windows down. Not true.
According to the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), as long your air conditioner is performing properly, your gas mileage is better on the highway if you run your air conditioner versus keeping all the windows down.
Have a question for us or need air conditioning service?

Saving you a lot of money is what it’s all about
For most of us, money matters. A lot! So let’s explore the real costs of vehicle ownership. According to Canadian Black Book1, the average vehicle in Canada will loose about 70% of its value in the first five years. On average, that’s about $18,000 in depreciation; and it’s just gone – you can never get it back.
With Re-Ride, you can save most of this cost by extending the life of your vehicle, versus trading it in prematurely. From “Bumper to Bumper – Rubber to Roof”, we bring your vehicle back to Like-New condition, complete with warranty. Re-Ride gives you back the reliability, drivability and safety you and your family need – without taking a huge hit on depreciation all over again. It’s your money, so you can decide what you’d rather have. Depreciation, or money in the bank to do what you really want to do!
With Re-Ride, there are no more costly surprises.
In fact, there are no more repair costs, period, for the next 3 years or 60,000 kilometres!
Each Re-Ride begins with an in-depth, no obligation 150 point inspection. We take you through the report, and provide you with a Re-Ride program tailored specifically for you and what your vehicle needs. And with each Re-Ride comes our 36 month/60,000 kilometre Mechanical Protection Plan2 on all parts and labour-not just with the parts we replace during a Re-Ride, but protection on the entire vehicle, very similar to a new car warranty. We even include all the oil changes your vehicle requires for the next 60,000 kms!
No more costly surprises! Isn’t that a refreshing idea?

Eastside Auto Service now offers environmentally friendly, Remolded Tires!
THE REMOLDING PROCESS
Remolded tires use a European technology that was developed about 15 years ago for remolding airliner tires, which is comparable to that used for manufacturing first-generation tires. These tires are top quality ecological tires that have been made new again, often surpassing the durability of new tires — at a lower cost.
These tires can be driven at the same speeds, including highway and Interstate speeds, as new tires, with no loss in safety or comfort. Virtually all of the world’s airlines use recycled tires. These tires are used on school buses, racing cars, taxis, SUV, trucks, military and federal, provincial, municipal vehicles. These users all know that remolded tires can be depended upon for safe and dependable performance.They are also approved and meet the very stringent demands of the D.O.T. They will stand up to any kind of road you may drive on.
- Quality control begins with a visual inspection to select the most suitable tire casings; unlike tread, which may be worn away, casings remain valuable for the recycling potential.
- Laser devices precisely measure the crown and side rubber removed.
- Nail holes requiring repair are detected by electronic means, which uses electric currents to scan each casing.
- Cement and veneer are applied over the sides ensuring the sidewalls remain intact during the process.
- The rubber tread is applied using the most advanced technology.
- The exact tire size is measured and created.
- The tire is cured using bladder presses.
- The tire is visually inspected and trimmed while still warm.

In simple terms a worn tire undergoes the following processes to become a remolded tire.
- Initial inspection
- Automatic tread buffing
- Bead brushing
- Cementing
- Application of the new rubber
- High pressure vulcanization in heating moulds
- Trimming
- Final inspection

Eastside Auto Service now offers environmentally friendly, Remolded Tires!
ECO-TIRE MANUFACTURING
Remolds deliver the quality, appearance and warranty equal to new tires. The treads have been designed with 50 years experience, proven for dependable performance with proper and regular maintenance. At up to 50% less than the cost of a new tire you are guaranteed superior performance and value.
If you already drive a fuel efficient car — or maybe even a hybrid vehicle — then a remolded tire is for you. You will be actively contributing to reducing the use of fossil fuels without sacrificing safety or performance. And remolded tires come with a warranty that rivals those of traditional tires. What’s more, they are economical, which is rare for high quality ecological products.
But that’s not all. Most new tires are produced and imported from Asia. In contrast, 90% of the raw materials come from Canada, which limits the damaging environmental impacts of shipping goods and materials long distances. By producing remanufactured tires, we also keeps hundreds of thousands of tire carcasses out of our landfills.
Altogether, our remolded tires are about the most ecological tires you can find. These tires are top-quality, ecological tires that have been made new again — but at a far lower cost than new tires. Learn more at http://ongreengo.ca/.

Toronto Star Wheels
Saturday, October 30, 2010.
Now is the time to buy winter tires. Not tomorrow, not next week and certainly not next month.
The reason for this is that by mid-November, there will be nary a winter tire in the manufacturers’ warehouses. All of the 2010 winter tires will be at dealers and tire distributors. The racks will be empty waiting for next spring’s tires to start trickling in.
For the consumer, that means choices in brands and haggling ability over price diminish as the clock ticks. This is especially true if you have a size that is not common. By mid-November, the tire dealer will be telling you what brand you can have and what price you will pay.
When you start shopping for winter tires, arm yourself with some basic information. Start by knowing what your tire size, speed rating and load index numbers are. READ MORE
