When you step into your vehicle you want to know your engine is going to start every time. While many people attribute this to the power in the battery—which is true—this process is a bit more complicated. The alternator is the key part of this equation. Without the alternator, the batter would not have the power to start the ignition and bring your car to life.
When you begin to experience issues with your alternator it can be a bigger deal than you may think. Not only will this cause your vehicle to possibly not start, but the vehicle could stall or die while you are driving it. You could also start to experience various electrical issues. To keep this from happening, it is important to pay attention to the signs of a dying alternator so you can have it replaced at a Boucher Auto Group service center near you.
There are many signs that come with a dying alternator. Unfortunately, these signs sometimes get mixed up with other car parts, such as the battery or ignition. It is important to take your vehicle to a mechanic to have it looked over if you experience issues starting your vehicle or various accessories are malfunctioning. Strange noises such as whining or growling may be coming from under the hood. The alternator is located at the front of the engine with belts around it. If the sound appears to be coming from the softball-sized part, it is likely the alternator is having the issues. You may also experience issues with dim/bright lights, the battery warning light coming on the dash, or the smell of burning rubber permeating the air.
If you believe you are having issues with your alternator, do not wait. It is important to have a trained technician take a look at your vehicle so you do not risk a dead alternator. There is nothing worse than waking up to discover your vehicle cannot start. With over a dozen locations in the southern Wisconsin area, there is sure to be a Boucher Auto Group service center that is perfect for you and your vehicle.

Once your car comes of a certain age or mileage, it’s time to think about some preventive maintenance. If you’ve ever had a belt or hose fail while you’re on the road, you already know why. If you haven’t had it happen – now you can imagine why!
Unlike metal parts in your engine that can last almost indefinitely with proper care, belts and hoses age out over time no matter what. The wear and tear from constant use, the heat, and of course the effect that time has on softer materials is unmistakable.
If a belt or hose (or maybe both) fails while you’re in transit, it can be more than just inconvenient. If the car overheats or is otherwise improperly run due to the failed part, a tremendous amount of damage can occur to the remaining parts in your engine compartment. This includes the engine itself, which if it overheats can seize up completely. If that happens, the motor (or the car) needs to be replaced.
Don’t despair! Preventive maintenance of these parts will save you considerable time, expense, frustration, and of course, keep you safe. Breaking down even in the safest of conditions can be harrowing. Breaking down on the freeway during rush hour – downright dangerous.
Don’t let this happen to you. We can assess if you’re ready for this service, and if there’s any question in your mind about it – don’t wait.
Fortunately for you, if you’re in the Southern Wisconsin area, there’s a Boucher Auto Group location convenient to you. Our service centers are state of the art. And, our experienced and helpful staff can assist with your belt and hose replacement needs. Stop in or call today to book an appointment.

Are you in need of a brake fluid flush service in southeastern or south-central Wisconsin? If so, then you should consider visiting one of our excellent 17 Boucher Auto Group service center locations throughout southern Wisconsin today! Our service technicians are able to perform a wide variety of vehicle services, including a brake fluid flush service. Join our staff as we highlight how important brake fluid flush services are for vehicles and why you should have this service performed at one of our service centers today!
The brake fluid in your vehicle serves the primary purpose of lubricating your vehicle’s brakes and many of its key elements. This helps to reduce some friction and limit any additional rusting that might occur. When a vehicle’s brake fluid is not flushed and replaced on a semi-regular basis, the brake fluid may collect some additional moisture that limits how effective it will be as a lubricant. Additionally, if the brake fluid in your vehicle is too low, your brakes could become generally ineffective.
Checking on your vehicle’s brake fluid can potentially draw additional moisture into your vehicle’s brake system. Due to this, it is a better idea for this process to be completed by a professional. While checking your brake fluid is risky, your vehicle can still provide some hints that its brake fluid needs replacement. If your ABS warning light comes on, you have to push down on your brakes more forcefully or are noticing strange noises and sounds when braking, you should consider having your brake fluid flushed today!
Ultimately, brake fluid flush services are much more complicated than other similar fluid replacement services like an oil change. Because of this, a brake fluid flush service should really only be performed by a well-trained service technician. Luckily, each one of our 17 Boucher Auto Group locations features several excellent service technicians who can perform a brake fluid flush service for our customers!
Customers can visit any of the 17 Boucher Auto Group locations to have your brake fluid flush service completed by our excellent service technicians today! If you reside in or around major cities in southern Wisconsin like Milwaukee, Racine, or Janesville, then there is a terrific service center near you that you can visit for all of your automotive needs!
The check engine light comes on for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it’s a sensor failing, some cars use it to warn of low fluids, and more. The check engine light seems to come on at the least convenient time possible. Should you be alarmed when it comes on? Not necessarily – but you should be concerned. Read on to find out more about the check engine light at Boucher Auto Group.
First, what is the most common cause of the check engine light coming on? Reports indicate that the leading cause of the check engine light coming on is a failing oxygen sensor. This might sound trivial on the surface; however, the oxygen sensor helps regulate the fuel to air mixture for your engine. What that means is it maximizes your fuel efficiency and minimizes your emissions. Letting this go can mean an even higher fuel bill, and potentially a failed smog check.
As you can guess from the potential problems above, doing nothing about the check engine light will lead to more serious issues for your car, and serious inconveniences for you. So, what should you do when the check engine light comes on? If your car is still running ok and not showing any visible or audible signs of distress (shaking, steam, smoke, knocking, clanking, etc.) – then you are ok to drive it to a safe location. Preferably, the safe location is a mechanic or close to one. If your car is experiencing signs of distress like those mentioned, the best thing to do is pull over to the nearest safe place, shut the car off, and contact the roadside services provided through your insurance company.
Sometimes the roadside service truck can diagnose the problem, but with serious presenting conditions the best bet is a full-service repair shop. In other words, whenever your check engine light comes on, take the safest possible course of action that gets your car to a mechanic.
It’s not all doom and gloom! If you’re in the Southern Wisconsin area, there’s a Boucher Auto Group location convenient to you. We have the best diagnostic systems available, and experienced technicians. We can find and fix your check engine light problem quickly. Stop in or call today to book an appointment.

Here in the state of Wisconsin, we experience a pretty wide range of weather conditions. These include ranges in temperature from below zero to as high as 100 degrees or more.

Engine coolant is considered to be the second most important fluid, behind engine oil, to the health and well-being of your vehicle’s power system. Modern vehicles have their engines cooled via this liquid and it helps to prevent the engines from overheating and causing permanent damage. In addition to maintaining the temperature of your vehicle’s engine, the engine coolant also plays a significant role in maintaining a proper temperature within the vehicle’s cabin as well.
If your vehicle’s coolant is not flushed and replaced when necessary, the engine will not be the only vehicle element affected. Other elements that are likely to be impacted by poor engine coolant include the water pump, thermostat, and heater core.

If not for the invention of the exhaust system, our roads would be a whole lot more unpleasant. The engine produces a good amount of noise and gasses during the internal combustion process. Your vehicle’s muffler has the important job of minimizing this noise, while the rest of the exhaust system guides harmful emissions away from the cabin. Therefore, exhaust system and muffler issues become much more apparent than some other common automotive issues. If your senses are telling you something is off, it may be time you bring your vehicle in for servicing at any of the 17 Boucher Auto Group locations found throughout Southeastern Wisconsin.
Unchecked exhaust system and muffler issues aren’t just unpleasant, they can also be dangerous. For this reason, it’s important to catch the warning signs of potential issues early on. Exhaust fumes have a very strong sulfur-like smell. If you notice this scent lingering inside your vehicle’s cabin, there may be an exhaust leak that needs attention. You won’t want to take any chances of carbon monoxide poisoning, after all.
Other warning signs of exhaust system and muffler issues may include strange noises when accelerating, unusual vibrations, decreased power and acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency, or a hanging exhaust pipe.

From the headlights to the turn signals and brake lights, it is important to know all the lights are working. Not only is this for your safety, but the safety of others. When your lights fail to work, you will want to get these bulbs replaced as soon as possible.
It is important to have functioning exterior lights on your car at all times. Some people may think that one headlight or brake light will be fine, but this is a dangerous choice. Not only are these lights designed to keep the vehicle operator and passengers safe, but also other cars on the road. The headlights, brake lights, taillights, and turn signal lights have all been designed to keep people safe on the road. They assist others in knowing where you are going and if your vehicle is decelerating or attempting a turn. It is a safety concern to operate a vehicle with faulty or broken lights.
It may be difficult to notice when the lights on the rear of your vehicle have gone out, but you should still take the time to investigate. To do this, have a friend, family member or coworker stand behind your vehicle once a month while you operate your various light functions.

There are many key elements that go into your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. Though they are small, spark plugs are a mighty part of your vehicle. Without spark plugs your engine would not have the power it needs to properly run your vehicle. If you have noticed your vehicle has slow acceleration, loss of power, a lower fuel economy, or the car is having issues starting, then your spark plugs may be going bad. It is essential to have these replaced as soon as possible.
If you have bad spark plugs you will want to get those replaced as early as possible. The longer you run your vehicle with bad spark plugs, the odds of your vehicle not starting or having issues increases. To ensure your vehicle stays in top shape and keeps running efficiently, you should have your trusty mechanic replace these parts as soon as you are aware of the issue.
Spark plugs that are going bad will continue to work for a time. You will simply begin to notice different issues with your vehicle and some can be costly. If your fuel economy starts to go down, this will cost you more money in terms of purchasing gasoline. If you have a slower acceleration, this will cost you your time since it will take you longer to get to your destination. Eventually, you may have issues starting your vehicle which could ruin or impact your whole day, especially if you need to get somewhere immediately.

Is tire rotation necessary? It is the most popular question asked in the auto repair scene, and several people are trying to justify this car maintenance practice. Before answering the question, it is best to know what it means. It simply means regularly changing tire positions to ensure even wear and tear. Tires being an essential part of a car and their contact to the ground makes them prone to wear, so it is recommended to do regular tire rotation, which can save you from replacement costs and longer life. Read on to learn more about the benefits of tire rotation and maintenance practices in this article by Boucher Auto Group.
Tire rotations are important if you want your tires to last longer, equalizing the wear that tires receive. If you do not rotate your tires, you might buy more tires in the long run. Below are three reasons to get tire rotations:
It is not news that the tire is an important part of a car, and it must be in good shape at all times for a smooth experience on the road. One of the most important reasons for tire rotation is to better the life of your tires by helping them to wear evenly and not very fast, which means you will not have to visit the store for replacements frequently.
If you notice an imbalance in your vehicle, that means the tire is not wearing equally, or their alignment is off. The best way forward is to rotate the wheels in the correct configuration, which will spread the vehicle’s weight evenly and save you from any mishaps.
A critical aspect of tire rotation is that the car wheels do not perform similar functions. Although they support motion, the front wheel takes on more work and is prone to more straining and wearing. Tire rotation reduces the wheel’s strain, improving tire life.
Boucher Auto Group provides you with an excellent tire rotation service by experienced and well-trained mechanics. So, if your vehicle needs any service, visit the Boucher Auto Group service center near you, and schedule a service appointment today.
Your vehicle’s transmission is one of the most important aspects of your vehicle. Without a properly maintained transmission system, your car will likely not drive a smoothly as it should and, if transmission issues are ignored, transmission failure is an expensive repair or replacement service that has to be completed in order for your vehicle to drive at all!
The transmission in your vehicle is essentially a group of parts assembled together that allow for power to be sent from your engine to the rest of your vehicle so that it can drive. One of the main tasks of your transmission is to shift between gears as you drive. Whether you drive a manual or automatic, the transmission is incredibly important. As a result, we offer a number of key transmission maintenance services at all of our Boucher Auto Group locations. Visit us with any transmission issues that your vehicle may be experiencing today!

With over 17 dealerships in the southeastern Wisconsin area and an array of service centers, you are sure to find a location that is close to you. Our trained technicians are capable of servicing and replacing windshield wipers on all vehicle makes and models.
Many technicians recommend that windshield wipers are replaced every six to twelve months. However, this also depends on how often you drive and utilize your windshield wipers. The wipers are made from rubber, which is degradable. This means that over time they become less effective. This rubber can begin to break apart, which can leave streaks behind or cause clicking. When this begins to happen, you should consider changing your windshield wipers. Use your best judgment. If you find yourself driving in the rain and you cannot see well even with the windshield wipers on, then it may be time to purchase a new set.
With over 17 locations to choose from, customers in the Janesville, Kenosha, or Waukesha area do not have far to drive far. An appointment can easily be booked online, in-person, or by calling the location of your choice. We are prepared to work on all vehicle makes and models.
