At Jaguar Huntsville we think it is important for drivers in Huntsville to be informed about the basic functions of their vehicle. Gaskets are car parts that are often overlooked because they are usually unseen. These vital parts help to maintain the health and performance of your vehicle.
A gasket is a small piece of molded rubber or stainless steel that is placed between moving and stationary parts on a car. The purpose of the gasket is to prevent fluids and lubricants from leaking out. Gaskets are found on every major system in your vehicle, and a car can have 100 or more individual gaskets.
If a gasket fails, the result is usually a leak or a reduction in performance. It is very important that you attend to worn gaskets quickly. The failure to replace a worn gasket can put critical systems in your car at risk, and you may need expensive repairs.
