FAQs

What are the types of body fillers?

Typically, body fillers are dual formula made with polyester resin combined with a hardener. Body fillers are graded according to the size of the task required, with a basic grade made to handle smaller projects, while mid and premium grades are designed to permanently fill larger holes and gaps.

Do fuel additives do anything worthwhile?

Fuel additives are designed to improve fuel performance and produce lower emissions. They're recommended for use during a service after the oil is changed, and beyond that, after every 3,000 miles.

Will a window scraper scratch the glass?

Window scrapers are designed to clear ice and snow from car glass and shouldn't cause any scratches unless used incorrectly.
