Your Car's Muffler Efficiency is a Life and Death Matter

You arrive at your destination and park your car on the street. Your passenger gets out of the car and you get ready for a wait of 15 to 30 minutes in your car. The winter chill outside advises you not to shut off your car if you want to keep yourself warm. You have been waiting for a while and now you only hear the sound of your car engine running. Everything seems to be fine, your body is functioning perfectly, but you feel drowsy and slowly fall asleep. What you did not know was that you would never wake up from this sleep.

The emergency whirling around your car tells your passenger at his return that something tragic has happened. He can see your breathless body from the distance lying on the paramedics bed. Your death does not seem to make any sense, until the doctors in the hospital run tests and discover the cause of your death: carbon monoxide poisoning. Your own car's muffler killed you.

This seems like fiction but it can happen to anybody whose car muffler is not working efficiently. The explanation is very simple, but for some people it seems to be hard to understand because they carelessly drive around with their cars' mufflers leaking carbon monoxide.

To understand better how a person can be killed by his own car engine, we spoke with Andres Gil, President of Gil's Muffler located at 5 Oxford St, Lawrence, MA. Gil is an expert with more than 19 years in the muffler repair industry, though his muffler repair shop has been on the market only since 1999.

"It's very simple, when the muffler of your car is not working properly, it is polluting. At any given time, the pollution can leak into the car and silently kill you and your passengers" replies Gil when questioned about this latent threat.

Gil recommends that even when you think your car's muffler is working fine, you should schedule a yearly check-up. After all, it is your life that is at risk. He states he works with all car makes, national and foreign. His business holds a wide variety of muffler parts in his warehouse, which he offers at competitive prices for his customers' convenience.

Andres Gil is committed to serving his community. To help drivers who have problems with their cars' mufflers, his company Gil's Muffler is offering a broken muffler repair deal for only US$45.00.
