Cars & American Culture: How Did Car Culture Become Part Of The American Dream?

ManagerBB • April 22, 2022

The B&B Auto Repair team was among the volunteers at ATE 2022 in Seattle.


To be American is to become embedded with the culture. There are certain aspects of American culture that you cannot ignore, like apple pie, owning a car, and road trips.


But how did car culture become part of the American Dream? The short answer is that we live in such a large country, you need a car to get around it. To add, our cities are spread out among many square miles and across numerous bodies of water. Even if you’re in a smaller town, like those in Kitsap County, you still need wheels to get you to the store, to run errands, and back home.



We came across this video about how car manufacturers did their part to take control of America’s roads. Don’t miss this entertaining and educational video by Climate Town:

Even though change is in the air about what types of vehicles future generations will drive – think Electric Vehicles and Hybrids – it will be a long time before Americans are ready to ditch their vehicles. 


So what is the team of B&B Auto Repair in Bremerton doing to help our community with our cars? The answer is simple enough: we are doing everything we can to stay current with the evolving automotive technology.


In early April, the entire auto repair team at B&B attended the ATE conference in Seattle. This conference is an automotive training expo where we learn everything from diagnosing challenging vehicle issues to how to provide exceptional customer service. 


Training is a high priority to the B&B Auto Repair team, so we budget time and money throughout the year to ensure our technicians and service advisors get the most up-to-date hands-on training. 


We dedicated ourselves to providing a high quality of service, so it’s only natural that our mechanics continue to grow and progress within their craft. When we strive for constant improvement, we become more efficient, more capable of fixing challenging issues, and a better service organization. How does this benefit our clients?

How Often Should I Replace My Fluids? A Guide by B&B Auto Repair in Bremerton, Washington Proper vehicle maintenance is paramount for longevity and performance, and a crucial aspect is the regular upkeep of your fluids. Various liquids, from engine oil to transmission fluid, are integral to your vehicle's smooth operation. In this blog post, we delve into the different fluid types in vehicles, elucidate the distinctions between fluid replacement, top-offs, and flushes, and provide guidance on the recommended frequencies for addressing these vital tasks. Understanding Vehicle Fluids Modern vehicles rely on various fluids to operate seamlessly and thwart premature wear. Engine oil is the lifeblood that lubricates internal components, minimizing friction and heat. Consistent oil changes are imperative to prevent engine damage and ensure peak performance. Transmission fluid enables seamless gear shifts and averts friction within the transmission system. Regular transmission fluid maintenance is indispensable to sidestep transmission issues. Coolant regulates engine temperature by dissipating excess heat and prevents freezing during colder periods. Regular checks and replacements are pivotal in preventing overheating and freezing. Brake fluid transmits force from the brake pedal to the brakes, ensuring adequate stopping power. Maintaining proper brake fluid levels is pivotal for safe driving. Power steering fluid facilitates effortless steering by reducing resistance on the steering wheel. Regular checks help thwart steering system problems. Together, all of these fluids help your vehicle run! Fluid Replacement, Top-Offs, and Flushes To ensure optimal vehicle performance, it's essential to comprehend the nuances of fluid replacement, top-offs, and flushes. Fluid replacement involves fully draining the old fluid from a system and replenishing it with fresh fluid. This is typically done according to the manufacturer's recommended intervals, ensuring the system operates with clean and efficient fluid. Top-offs entail adding a small quantity of fluid to a system to maintain appropriate levels. Regular fluid level checks and topping off as needed help to avert damage due to low levels and ensure that the system functions as intended. A flush is a comprehensive process where old fluid is completely purged from the system and replaced with new fluid. This eradicates accumulated contaminants and ensures improved performance. Flushing intervals vary based on fluid type and vehicle make, necessitating adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Determining Fluid Replacement Frequencies The frequency of fluid maintenance varies depending on factors like vehicle makes, model, usage, and driving conditions. The frequency of fluid maintenance varies depending on factors such as vehicle make, model, usage, and driving conditions. However, here are some general guidelines to consider: Engine Oil: Replace every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or as per your vehicle's manual. Transmission Fluid: Replace every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but consult your manual for specific recommendations.
