Acura cars have never been safer. Not only do they greatly reduce your risk of having an accident, but they also protect you in the unlikely event of a crash. Let's take a look at the car safety features included in the AcuraWatch suite, which come as standard with every Acura sedan and SUV. If you want a closer inspection of these safety features and more, you can always ask for a demo at your local Acura dealership. more Collision Mitigation Braking System The majority of road accidents are rear-end collisions, but your risk of rear-ending another vehicle or of hitting any obstacle on the road is greatly diminished with Acura's collision mitigation system. With a combination of radar and camera, your Acura constantly monitors the road ahead. It alerts you when any possibility of a collision presents itself. If you don't react quickly enough, the car brakes for you with just the right amount of stopping power, including an anti-lock braking mechanism, to ensure you don't crash and you don't skid, either. Adaptive Cruise Control Acura is on a mission to help create a collision-free world. One step in that direction is your vehicle's ability to constantly monitor the distances between you and the vehicle ahead and behind. When you turn on Adaptive Cruise Control, your car won't ever break the three-second rule, keeping a safe distance at all times. During winter, when the roads are often icy, it can extend this safe distance between vehicles as you like. Blind Spot Awareness While on the highway, drivers face a certain danger whenever changing lanes. In the past, the blind spots that all human drivers have at the rear and each side of the car were the cause of many accidents. Acura's Blind Spot Awareness feature monitors your blind spots at all times. When a bicycle, motorcycle, or any other vehicle enters a blind spot, you're alerted with a beep and a clear visual warning. Jewel Eye LED Headlights Acura's whiter, brighter LED headlights are more powerful and longer-lasting than ever before. About half of all fatal car accidents happen after dark, despite there being fewer vehicles on the road. With Acura's super-strong headlights and fog lights, you're far less likely to experience visibility problems, no matter the time of night or the weather. Upgrade Bubls at Your Local Acura Dealer If you already have an Acura vehicle and you want to upgrade your bulbs to the latest, strongest LED options, no problem. You can usually have an upgrade carried out at your nearest dealership. ACE Body Structure Every Acura vehicle's robust Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is designed to stay rigid and crumple in just the right places in the event of a crash. The strategic crumple zones help to dispel the force exerted during a crash. The force is distributed safely away from the driver and passengers, who are protected inside a robust, rigid framework.

Your Acura's alternator keeps the battery charged and allows you to use all those great electronic accessories in your MDX, Integra, or TLX. A problem with your alternator will cause numerous issues that require expert Acura repair from the qualified technicians at your Acura dealership. The following signs will warn you when to get an alternator repair before your headlights dim, your accessories fail, and you struggle to start your car. more 1. The Battery Light Is On When the battery light on your dashboard is on, there's a problem with your car's electrical system. An alternator not providing the necessary voltage will trigger the battery warning light. 2. Your Headlights Are Dim and Flicker A failing alternator will not meet your car's electrical needs and generate enough power to keep the lights on consistently. You will notice that your dashboard lights are dimmer, and your headlights flicker or grow from bright to dim as you accelerate. 3. The Accessories Are Acting Up When your car's alternator is not producing enough electricity, the computer will cut the power to non-vital accessories first, and you will notice several issues at once. Your windshield wipers and windows will move slower, the sunroof will get stuck, and the heated seats might not work. 4. There Are Loose, Broken, or Frayed Cables and Wires Loose, broken, or frayed wires and cables will prevent or reduce the flow of electricity. The alternator will produce more energy and send too much electricity through the wires, causing the wires to heat up. 5. You Smell Hot Electrical Wires or Burning Rubber An overworked alternator will give off an electrical smell. Because the belt is under constant tension and close to the engine, it causes a scent comparable to that of burning rubber when it wears out. 6. You Hear Whining, Growling, and Rattling Noises A failing alternator will make strange noises. The noises could come from a tight or misaligned belt rubbing against the side of the pulley. In the worst cases, the alternator can damage your engine and make rattling noises. Still, because it's nearly impossible to keep your car going with a malfunctioning alternator, you'll get it fixed long before it causes severe damage. 7. You Struggle To Start Your Car Your vehicle starts from power stored in the battery. When it's hard to start your car and keep it running, it could be a problem with the alternator not charging the battery. When there's not enough power from the alternator to keep the engine going, you'll struggle to start your car, and it will stall. 8. The Battery Is Weak A failing alternator will not properly charge the battery while the engine is running. If your car dies after a jump start, it's most likely a failing alternator not providing enough power to the battery and not the battery itself. If your car has any of the above problems, call Ed Martin Acura today to schedule an appointment. The qualified Acura technicians will sort out your vehicle's electrical problems and ensure that your alternator works perfectly.

The catalytic converter on your Acura reduces pollution. It does this by converting dangerous chemicals from combustion into less harmful ones. The conversion process uses heat, high pressure, and chemical reactions. Over time the heat and pressure can damage the converter, or it can weaken due to age. As your Acura dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs that you need to visit us for a repair or replacement converter. more Black Exhaust Smoke Black smoke from the tailpipe is a sign that your converter is damaged and may need replacement. Black smoke has a toxic stench due to the large amounts of carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other dangerous chemicals. Under normal conditions, these chemicals are rendered harmless by your converter. The lack of conversion could be caused by a faulty oxygen sensor supplying incorrect information, a fuel-rich engine, or failed converter. In all these cases, the toxic gases from combustion forced out of the engine will cause your car to fail an emissions test. These gases will also cause long-term damage to your engine. Our technicians will find the cause of the problem and repair it. Your Engine Starts and Then Dies Starting problems are usually caused by a problem with the battery, the alternator, or the starter motor. If your engine starts and then dies very quickly, this usually means your converter is blocked. As the converter works, carbon can build up inside it. As time passes, this carbon buildup can block the exit of the converter and prevent exhaust gases from escaping. The exhaust gases that can't escape will be drawn back into your engine. These gases increase the pressure in the engine and also increase the fuel-to-air ratio. This combination of events shuts down the combustion process and causes your engine to stop. We'll examine your converter and clear any blockages we find. Once the converter is unblocked, your engine will work normally again. Rattling Noises A rattling noise from under your car is a sign that something is loose. It could be one of the brackets that supports the exhaust has failed, or your converter may be damaged. If the rattling continues when you're driving at speed, the most likely cause is a damaged converter. The rattling noise is made by broken pieces of the honeycomb inside the converter. Converters have a honeycomb interior to maximize gas conversion. The heat and pressure can create cracks in the honeycomb. This will cause pieces to break off and rattle as your car moves. We can't repair this damage, but we can replace your converter. If you suspect a converter problem, call us right away at Ed Martin Acura. Image courtesy of Andrea Piacquadio via Pexels

Many drivers don't know about collision repair. It's not something anyone would like to think about, but accidents can happen. If your car is damaged near Indianapolis, IN, your local Acura dealer has the skilled technicians and the technology to restore it to like-new. This is a brief overview of how we perform our repair. more Check-In and Estimate The first step is to assess the level of damage. This can vary widely, from paint scratches to frame straightening depending on the situation. One of our highly-trained estimators will perform a thorough inspection of your car. The estimator will catalog this inspection with a written report, photos, and video. This inspection will be used to prepare our repair plan. Once the estimator has completed the inspection, we'll produce a written estimate and send it to you. This estimate also includes time to complete the work. if your insurance is arranging the repairs, we'll send a copy of the estimate to them. We work with all insurance companies and will provide any information they require to reach their decision. Insurance Your insurance company may request a teardown. This is where we remove the damaged sections. They may also want to send their adjuster to examine your car. We'll assist them in any way possible to speed up the process. Once we receive confirmation from you or your insurance company, we'll move on to the repair step. Repair The repair process varies depending on the nature and extent of the damage. If your car has suffered impact damage, we usually start by electronically analyzing your car. This measures your car's dimensions and compares them to the dimensions stored on our computer. This process will identify even the slightest bending of the frame that may not be visible. The repair plan we prepared will guide the repair process. We allocate as many technicians as needed to ensure the speediest possible quality repair. We know you miss your Acura, and we want to repair and return it to you ASAP. Paint Other technicians will take any panels, sections, or trim that require painting to our paint shop. We'll color-match your car and create the base coat. We only use genuine Acura parts. Genuine parts are already prepared for painting with primer and sealant. Once the base coat is ready, we'll apply it and follow up with a clear coat. Quality Check Once the repairs are complete, we'll test your car's systems to ensure they work correctly. Your car will be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for your arrival. If you'd like more information on our repairs or want to book a repair, call us right away at Ed Martin Acura. Image courtesy of Jeff Burkholder via Pexels

Many drivers don't realize how large an impact periodical tire rotation has on your safety, handling, and car upkeep costs. It's generally recommended to rotate your tires every 7,500 miles. For the sake of convenience, most drivers have a rotation when they visit their local Acura dealer for an oil change. Here are four good reasons to never miss a scheduled rotation. more Cost Savings on New Tires Regular rotation ensures that all your tires are wearing out evenly. This extends the lifespan of your full set of tires, which means you need to replace them less frequently. Most drivers replace their tires every 40,000 to 60,000 miles, and a well-maintained Acura vehicle can stay on the road for 300,000 miles or more. So proper tire care with regular rotation might mean you need only five sets of tires over the lifespan of your car, instead of seven or eight. That's a considerable cost-saving for any driver. Maintain Good Handling Modern Acuras have excellent handling and responsiveness. Not only does this make for a very enjoyable driving experience, but it also keeps you safer on the road. If your tires start to wear down unevenly, you'll feel it first in the handling. Your steering and cornering will no longer be quite as accurate and smooth. It's a disconcerting sensation that you can easily avoid with periodical rotation. Avoid Loss of Traction The tread depth of tires inevitably wears down over time. If the treads of one or two of your tires wear down too thin, they can lose traction and cause a skid. Tires with very shallow treads are also more susceptible to hydroplaning, which means skidding out of control while driving over a puddle of water. Inadequate tread depth causes a quarter of all tire-related car crashes. And all it takes is a single tire losing its grip to cause an accident. Regular rotation keeps any of your tires from wearing down to dangerous levels ahead of the others. Maintain a Valid Warranty A good set of tires will often come with a warranty. This warranty will guarantee reimbursement in the case of prematurely worn-out tires. It might cover a four, five, or even six-year period after the date of purchase. But such tire warranties almost always stipulate periodical rotation as part of ordinary tire maintenance. As unlikely as you are to need to make a claim, it's always reassuring to have a valid warranty. Regular rotation helps make sure you have just that. Visit Ed Martin Acura today to have your tires inspected, rotated, or replaced. Our dealership is a ten-time winner of the Acura Precision Team Award for providing a consistently exceptional customer experience.

Every responsible car owner knows how important it is to make sure that the brake pads are in tip-top condition. But with replacements advised at between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, it can be challenging to find the balance. Here's our guide to help you decide when to contact your Acura dealer for a brake service. more When You Notice Signs of Trouble While many variables can affect the life of your pads, it's crucial to know the signs that they aren't functioning effectively. If you notice any of the following symptoms when you apply the brakes, it's important to schedule a replacement straight away: A low rumbling noise Screeching or squealing A vibrating brake pedal A soft or spongy brake pedal A brake pedal that feels too high or too low Sluggish response when using the brakes to decelerate Driving with worn brakes won't just put you and other road users in danger: it could also cause more costly damage to components in the braking system. The pads are designed to take on the strain to keep them fresh. If Your Driving Habits Cause Wear Some driving habits mean that pads will come under more pressure and wear out more quickly, so you'll need to replace them closer to the 30,000-mile mark. If you're prone to late or heavy braking, taking corners sharply, or "riding the brake," then consider a shorter interval between pad replacements. It's a better and safer driving practice to slow down in plenty of time and use engine braking where possible. If you're looking for ways to lengthen the lifetime of your braking components, try to stay mindful of how you're using your brakes. If the Roads Require a Lot of Braking Pads are a wearing part, so the more you use them, the sooner they'll need replacing. Some roads will require you to brake more often than others, so think about the routes that you take regularly. The braking system will wear out more quickly on roads with: Heavy traffic and stop-start driving Hilly roads with steep descents Roads with sharp turns and bends Mud, grit, or sand that causes corrosion Wet or icy roads that need heavier braking High temperatures that increase the heat of friction You will also have to brake with more force if you're slowing down a heavier load. If you regularly drive with a heavy trailer or payload, expect your brakes to need replacing more frequently. Taking all these variables into account should ensure that your brakes continue to function as your front-line safety system. But regular checkups every six months or timed to coincide with oil changes or tire rotations will guarantee that your pads are always in optimal shape.

Everyone loves summer, but you may need relief from the heat. When your turn on your car AC, you expect to be greeted by cold gusts of air. Your car AC not working can make a great day unpleasant very quickly. Fortunately, your Acura dealer in Indianapolis, IN, can fix any AC problem for you. These are a few of the possible AC problems that we can fix for you. more Refrigerant Leak The AC depends on several different systems to convert hot outside air into refreshingly cold air. These systems all depend on refrigerant gas. This gas converts from gaseous to liquid states and back again as it cools the air in your cabin. The cooling system operates as a closed system, and refrigerant isn't consumed as your AC works. A lack of refrigerant means that your car has a refrigerant leak.   Refrigerant is odorless and colorless, and it can leak out as either liquid or gas, depending on what part of the system has developed a leak. Our technicians will test for the source of the leak by injecting a UV dye into the AC system. We use a special scanner to trace the passage of the refrigerant through the system. Once we find the leak, we'll repair it and refill the refrigerant. No Air From the AC When you turn on the AC, the airflow should start immediately. If you're getting no air movement through the vents, this suggests there's a blockage in the system.   The two possible blockage points are the air vent below your windshield and the AC ducts. If you hear the click of the compressor clutch when you switch on the AC, this means air is flowing into your car, so the blockage must be in the ducts. If you don't hear a click, your AC isn't receiving air and won't start. This would mean the outside vent is blocked by leaves, dirt, or other debris. Bad Smells From the Vents If your AC is blowing cold air, but the air smells damp or musty, your AC may have unwelcome interlopers. Most AC systems are only used in summer. The long periods when the AC isn't working can allow bacteria or mold to infest the AC system and the ducts. These organisms are drawn in the air that enters your AC system.   The AC system provides a perfect place for bacteria and mold, as its dark, cool, and contains tiny amounts of water. Our technicians can easily remove these organisms using a special antibacterial and anti-mold solution. Your cabin will smell pleasantly fresh again in no time. If you have any AC problem call us immediately at Ed Martin Acura. Image courtesy of Malte Luk via Pixabay

As your Acura dealer, we know that keeping up with your car's maintenance is the best way to protect your investment and make sure your vehicle is safe and reliable. That's why we've put together this list of five car maintenance tips to help get you started. 1. Change Your Oil Regularly Changing your oil is one of the most important things you can do to keep your vehicle running well. Oil lubricates your engine, preventing wear and tear on essential components. more 2. Keep Your Tires Inflated It's easy to forget about your tires, but properly inflated tires are vital to your car's performance. A poorly inflated tire will cause unnecessary wear and tear on the tire and other system components. That means you'll have to spend more on repairs, which can add up over time. Make sure you're checking your tire pressure once a month, especially if you drive lots of miles or live in an area with harsh winters. And don't forget to check the pressure in all four tires! 3. Get Expert Maintenance If you want to ensure that your Acura stays in tip-top shape for years to come, then it's important to get regular maintenance performed by experts. Acura-certified technicians know your car and will provide the service you expect. Ideally, you should have your vehicle inspected at least once a year to catch any problems before they become major issues. 4. Check Your Battery Batteries are an essential part of your car. Without a strong battery, you can't start the engine or run the electrical components. It's important to check your battery every once in a while by checking for corrosion and performing a load test. You should also check your battery cables for corrosion and cracks because those can also cause problems, like a stalled engine or loss of electrical power. 5. Check Your Brakes Brake pad replacements usually are needed every 50,000 miles but can vary based on your driving habits. If you drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic, you may need to check your brakes more frequently. Consult your owner's manual for a recommended maintenance schedule. It's important to check your brake pads and rotors periodically and inspect for fluid leaks. You should also keep an eye out for any unusual sounds, such as squealing or grinding. If you hear any of these noises, it's best to take your car in for service immediately! Keeping up with your vehicle's maintenance can help you avoid problems and ensure you get the most out of your car. If you have questions or want to schedule an appointment, contact Ed Martin Acura.

Without a working car air filter in place, debris and dust can enter your engine and cause havoc that damages both your car and your wallet. Regularly checking your car into your Acura dealer to replace worn or damaged filters is essential to maintaining your car's health. more While it's recommended that drivers replace their filters annually, this doesn't apply to everyone. Driving in dusty, rural settings or facing daily heavy traffic can affect how often it should be replaced.  So, what are some of the signs that your Acura needs a new air filter? Your Engine Has Less Power Adequate airflow is a must for your engine to perform at its highest standard. If proper air circulation isn't possible, you'll likely notice a decline in your car's performance. If your car is slow to accelerate, jerking, or not responding like it usually does, there's a chance your air filter is the culprit. Consult an Acura mechanic to check if your engine is getting enough airflow. Your Check Engine Light Is On Every driver dreads seeing their check engine light flash on. While the light might indicate a minor problem, it could be highlighting a more serious issue. The light is sometimes triggered when carbon deposits are formed because enough air isn't reaching the engine. Your trained Acura technician will be able to tell you if a faulty filter is the reason behind your lit-up engine light. Your Engine Is Making Odd Sounds A damaged filter can affect your engine's sound dynamics, causing a sputtering or coughing sound as you drive. If your car starts making noises you're not used to, especially while the car is idling, there's a chance you need to install a new air filter. Your Exhaust Pipe Is Smoking Without the right supply of air reaching the engine, you might notice black smoke or even flames when you start your car. Residual fuel left over from the combustion cycle is often expelled through the exhaust and ignites in the tailpipe. If you see this, you know it's time to get your car to an Acura mechanic. How Can an Acura Dealer Technician Help You? Not every driver is comfortable inspecting their car. Fortunately, this straightforward procedure can be carried out by a professional in just minutes. This is especially helpful considering newer car models tend to place their filters in less-than-reachable spots to save on engine space. When it comes to your car's overall health, it's best to catch easily remedied issues before they become pricey, time-consuming problems. If you think you need a new air filter, visit Ed Martin Acura today to chat with one of our skilled technicians. image courtesy of pexels.com

Your Acura has a great engine, but to perform at its best it needs regular services. In time, parts can wear out or need to be replaced, and your Acura dealer in Indianapolis, IN, can help you. Our technicians are trained to repair any possible problem in any Acura vehicle. These are examples of some of the engine problems we can repair for you. more Damaged Water Pump Your engine works most efficiently at high temperatures, but high temperatures can damage parts of your engine. To keep the temperature under control, your Acura has a very efficient cooling system. When the engine temperature rises over 185 F, liquid coolant is released into your engine. Coolant is a mix of antifreeze and water, and it absorbs the heat from your engine. The coolant is pumped through your engine until it reaches the radiator. In the radiator, the heat in the coolant is exchanged for cooler air that blows through the radiator grille. This system depends on the water pump. The water pump forces coolant through your engine at high speed. If the pump is damaged or fails, coolant will be released, but it won't flow. Your engine will rapidly start to overheat. Worn Alternator The alternator is responsible for producing the electrical power for all your car's systems. It converts the mechanical force from the turning of the crankshaft into electrical power. An alternator will generally last for eight years before it needs to be replaced. It can, however, suffer damage due to environmental conditions and the failure of other components, for example, the battery. The alternator charges your battery, but a worn battery has great difficulty holding a charge. When your engine starts up, the alternator begins charging your battery. It will supply a strong charge for several minutes before it slows down to a steady recharging rate. If your battery is damaged, it won't acknowledge this charge. In this case, your alternator can wear itself out trying and failing to charge your battery. Starting Problems The sad click-click sound of an engine that won't start is disheartening. Your engine requires several components to work together to start your engine. The battery provides the initial charge to the starter motor. The solenoid in the starter motor then uses this power to crank your engine. To keep the battery fully charged, your alternator must recharge it. Any of these systems can fail if they're not regularly serviced. Our technicians will check the components and find and repair the source of the starting problem. If you have any problems with your engine, call us right away at Ed Martin Acura. image courtesy of pexels.com

Your car's battery is essential for starting your car. If your battery suddenly fails, you're confronted with the awkward need to jump-start your car to be able to move. We'd like to make sure that doesn't happen. In Indianapolis, IN, as your Acura dealer, we can quickly and easily fit a new car battery when you need one. These are some of the signs that your battery needs to be replaced. more Misshapen Battery A car battery is usually rectangular. The heavy casing is designed to protect the delicate internal components from damage and prevent dangerous chemicals from leaking into your car. As your battery ages, the casing can suffer damage from internal and external forces. The complex chemical reactions that take place in your battery can, over time, cause the battery to bulge outwards slightly. External factors like extreme heat or cold can physically distort the casing and cause it to warp. This damage doesn't happen immediately, it's an ongoing process as the battery slightly distorts. A distorted casing causes additional damage to the battery's internal structure. If you look at your battery and it looks misshapen, it will need to be replaced. A damaged battery can't be repaired. Slow-Cranking One of the most common signs of a worn battery is a slow engine crank. When you turn the key or press the starter button, your battery sends a powerful electrical charge to your starter motor. This charge initiates the crank, and your engine should start almost immediately. The change sent to your starter motor is the largest expenditure of power your battery makes. Under normal conditions, once your engine starts, your alternator will begin recharging your battery. When a battery gets older, however, its maximum charging level drops, and it becomes more difficult to recharge even to this lower level. If you find that your engine is taking longer to crank, one of the most likely causes is a dying battery. Our technicians will check, and if the battery is the cause, we can replace it. Dim Lights You can test your battery strength by switching on your car but not starting the engine. Once your car is on, turn on the headlights. If your battery is working correctly, it will provide the charge for your headlights and they will light up. A weak battery, however, will cause your headlights to appear dim. This is because the battery doesn't have enough charge to fully power the headlights. Another sign of a weak battery is dim lights on your dash panel. When your engine isn't running, your battery supplies the power to keep all the electrical systems working. A weak battery won't have enough power to light up the dash. A weak battery can also be caused by a damaged alternator or even a problem with the battery cables. Our technicians will check and fix the problem. If your battery is showing signs of wear, call us at Ed Martin Acura today! image courtesy of pexels.com
