Here are some places where you can start your project. 1. Starlite BBQ At 7620 East Indian School Road, Suite 101, you'll find a BBQ spot that's appreciated for its service, portions, prices, and caring service. You get all that, plus treats like beef ribs with espresso mole, pulled pork, or fried chicken. Go for sandwiches or plates, with apps and sides like the mesquite grilled cauliflower, the mac and cheese, and the cornbread. If you still have room, you could add bread pudding or another of the rotating desserts! more 2. NakedQ BBQ People love going NakedQ over at 10240 North 90th Street, Suite 105. It's popular enough to have two other branches in the Phoenix orbit. Get ready for some big, fan-favorite sandwiches piled high with chopped brisket, pulled pork or chicken, and more. Or, have a platter with one or two of the house meats, plus two sides and cornbread. Pick the veg of the day, a slaw, or a salad to balance out those fine portions of protein! 3. The Thumb BBQ This is a fun, funky, and sort of famous spot brought to you from inside a gas station shop at 9393 East Bell Road. It's been on TV. Try the Cuban sandwich with pulled pork and ham, the 5-Bone Rib Plate (St. Louis style), a stack of hash browns with sliced brisket, and more.

If you suddenly smell rotting eggs while driving, it can be a little confusing. But the smell could indicate something a lot more dangerous than a few errant eggs: your catalytic converter might have broken down. Let's take a look at five signs that you'll need to visit your local Cadillac dealer for cat repair. A Sulfur, Rotten-Egg Smell When functioning properly, the precious metals inside a cat clean the noxious emissions that any car engine produces. These dangerous gases include nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons such as hydrogen sulfide. This last gas – hydrogen sulfide – has a distinctively unpleasant sulfur smell similar to rotten eggs. more Metallic Rattling While Revving The precious metals inside a cat include platinum, rhodium, and palladium. These metals coat a delicate honeycomb-like mesh through which the engine's emissions pass on their way out of your car. If any fuel or fluids leak into the exhaust system and reach the cat, they can corrode and break down the mesh, causing it to fall apart. Then, when the engine's revving pushes air and gases through the exhaust, you might hear the loose parts of the mesh rattling around below you. Age and external impacts can also cause a cat's mesh to disintegrate and start rattling. Misfiring Cylinders in the Engine Cats can sometimes become clogged up, which prevents air and gases from escaping through the exhaust system. This backup of airflow eventually restricts the inflow of oxygen into the engine's combustion chambers. When this happens, the combustion process becomes fuel-heavy, which can foul the spark plugs and lead to misfiring. As a result, you'll hear your engine start to cough and sputter, and you'll also lose engine power. Black Smoke from the Tailpipe The excess of unburned fuel created by misfiring will start to be expelled through the exhaust system. It will eventually emit from your tailpipe in the form of black smoke. And when unburned fuel reaches the cat, it can sometimes ignite in the cat's extreme heat. This instantly destroys the meshwork. You'll hear a bang and see even thicker smoke pouring out behind your car. Have Your Cadillac Dealer Diagnose Cat Problems? When you take your car in for repairs, the technician first needs to establish if the engine issues are caused by a faulty cat or something else. A quick way to diagnose cat problems is to disconnect some exhaust piping upwind of the cat and then run the engine. They're also likely to measure the temperature of the cat and nearby piping with a pyrometer. If the inlet temperature is much higher than the outlet temperature, the cat has a problem. Visit Earnhardt Cadillac today to have your cat inspected, repaired, or replaced. We're an award-winning local dealership that puts our customers and their satisfaction above all else.

Regular brake service is an essential part of your Cadillac's maintenance program. Your brakes allow you to control and vary your speed and to stop precisely when you need to. If your brakes aren't regularly checked, they will respond slowly or could even fail. As your Cadillac dealer, your safety is very important to us. We'd like you to know some of the reasons why a routine service with us is important. more Braking Will Be Quiet Again Your Cadillac’s braking system is designed to operate silently and efficiently. When you're driving you need to focus on the road ahead without unnecessary distractions. If your brakes are worn or damaged, you could hear screeching, squealing, or even grinding noises. Strange noises from the brakes are automatically a sign that something is wrong. Grinding noises could mean that a stone or other object is jammed in one of the brake calipers. Squealing noises suggest rusted components rubbing against each other. A screeching sound usually means your brake pads are worn. When our technicians service your brakes, they check and repair or replace any worn parts so your brakes will work quietly again. Driving Is Safer If your brakes are regularly serviced, you know that they're in perfect working condition. We're experts on Cadillac repairs and maintenance, and our technicians examine your entire braking system to ensure it's working correctly. A well-maintained braking system will respond quickly exactly when you need it to. In contrast, worn or damaged brakes make driving dangerous. If you're not sure how quickly your brakes will apply when you stop on the pedal, there's a problem. Any delay in your brakes activating can be enough to turn a near miss into a collision. Worn brakes put you, your passengers, and other drivers at risk. You Save Money It's easier and cheaper to repair a small issue and prevent expensive future repairs. Brake pads, for example, will gradually wear out. When the pads have worn down, your braking system takes longer to engage. The worn pads also put additional stress on the calipers, brake hoses, rotors, and other braking components. Replacing the pads timeously prevents wear or damage from happening. Servicing your brakes allows our technicians to examine your braking system. They can easily identify any potential problems, and we can advise you and fix the issue before it becomes a problem. Repairing the issue while your car is in our service department also saves you time. These are just a few of the many reasons to have a regular service for your brakes. Call our service department today at Earnhardt Cadillac to book your service.

Choosing your next Cadillac is only half of the process of purchasing a new car. It's equally important that you pick the right car financing deal for your timeline and budget. The best financing deal is usually at your Cadillac dealer, and here are three reasons why. more 1. Enjoy the Convenience of a One-Stop-Shop There's no doubt that financing your car at your dealer is the most convenient way to go. Applying for a car loan yourself can be stressful and time-consuming, especially since individual banks won't necessarily give you the most competitive rates. At your dealership, the experienced staff will have relationships with multiple lenders and can present you with numerous loan terms. You can then decide on the option that makes the most sense for you. When all's said and done, you can often walk into the dealership, buy your Cadillac, and sign off on a financing deal within hours. The dealer will assist you with filling out the paperwork and answer any questions you have in real-time. Doing the financing yourself can add weeks to the timeline and could get complicated when you're working with a third party. 2. Easily Upgrade Your Vehicle You never know when you'll want to trade in your Cadillac for a new one. Choosing to do your financing at a dealership makes any future upgrades much easier because the dealership will already have access to your vehicle's maintenance and financial information. The dealership can easily close out your old loan and apply the value of your old car to your new one. Applying for your new loan will be simple. You can also use your existing relationship with the dealership to leverage a better deal on your new loan. Showing loyalty to a dealership is a great negotiating tool for securing lower interest rates. 3. Take Advantage of Promotions If you're looking to buy a new Cadillac, you're almost certainly better off selecting a financing plan at your dealership because of the promotions available. One of the best promotions from a dealer that you won't be able to get from your bank is an APR rate as low as 0% for periods that can be as long as three years. You'll have more time to pay off your car without accruing high interest costs. In some instances, you may also be entitled to a cash-back bonus. Get the season's best Cadillac by choosing to finance through a dealership. Our team is happy to walk you through your options with a customized plan, even with lower credit scores. Contact us at Earnhardt Cadillac to see our available models and get pre-approved for a loan.

If you find your engine overheating one day, the culprit might be your radiator. Without the radiator's vital cooling function, the coolant pumping through your engine will no longer be able to bring down the temperature. If you see any of the following indicators of trouble, pay a visit to your nearest Cadillac dealer for radiator repair. more Your Engine's Overheating When running, your Cadillac's engine should be between 200 and 220 degrees. If it ever reaches 245 degrees, the heat will start causing the metal to warp, with all kinds of ensuing problems. Signs of Overheating The temperature gauge on your instrument panel will usually let you know if your engine's starting to overheat due to a failed cooling system. Other signs include ticking sounds from the engine, a smell of something burning, and steam rising from the engine. If you don't immediately stop and turn off your engine, your car will start malfunctioning. Your Coolant Level Drops Most Cadillac engines require about five liters of coolant. You can check your coolant level by looking at the coolant container under your hood. On the side of the reservoir, you'll see markers for minimum and maximum coolant levels. If the level is ever low, top up immediately with the correct type of coolant. Signs of Low Coolant The most noticeable sign of low coolant will be an overheating engine. In the case of a coolant leak, you might notice an oddly sweet smell outside your car after driving. There will also be a brightly colored fluid pooling under your car. Most coolants are a vivid shade of orange, pink, blue, or green in color. Your Radiator Is Rusting Radiators are susceptible to rust under certain conditions. If you live in a cold or damp environment, moisture in the air will gather more readily on your engine, causing rust. This moisture is heated away each time you use your engine. But cars left un-driven for months on end will often gather rust. Rust can also form on the inside of radiators if the coolant diminishes or grows too old. Modern coolant has qualities to combat rust but this ability fades with age. Eventually, rust from the inside will breach the radiator's surface and cause a leak. If your coolant turns a rusty color, you can be sure there's rust inside the radiator. Flush Often at Your Local Cadillac Dealer Cadillac drivers should flush their coolant every 30,000 miles or every five years, whichever comes first. The technician will also inspect your radiator and entire cooling system for other signs of disrepair. Have your radiator fixed today at Earnhardt Cadillac. Our founder and CEO, Tex Earnhardt, has been serving the region's drivers since 1951 with excellent cars and customer service.
