Oil Changes
Getting regular oil changes is one of the most important things you can do to protect your engine. Most vehicles need an oil change every 3,000 miles, but it could also depend on your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. When you bring your car to us, we’ll install a brand-new oil filter and use the correct oil type that works with your vehicle.
Fluid and Belt Inspections
Most vehicles need a variety of different fluids to perform. These fluids should be clean and free of leaks. With proper preventative maintenance, you should check fluid levels like the coolant or antifreeze, wiper fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid. You should also have the timing and serpentine belt checked since these items need to be replaced approximately every 60,000 miles. If the belts are damaged, they may need to be replaced sooner.
Tires
Tires with worn-out tread or low air levels can be dangerous, but getting them repaired or replaced is expensive. If you have low tread, you need to address it soon since it can pose a safety problem. Get the air level in your tires checked along with the current tread level so you can be sure that they are in good condition. You should also have the alignment checked and get done if the tread is beginning to wear unevenly.
Filters
The air filter in your car should be replaced regularly, and it’s usually based on mileage according to your owner’s manual. If you drive in a dusty environment or drive in heavy traffic, it may become dirty earlier than usual. When you replace the air filter, it makes driving more comfortable and allows for healthier airflow throughout the passenger cabin.
Battery Checks
If your battery runs out of power, you could be left stranded. Check the battery terminals to make sure there is no rust or mineral buildup. Cleaning them is an easy and quick fix that will ensure that your car starts up in the morning. Consider getting a battery test, where we can easily look at the battery’s power level and make any recommendations. A battery that is healthy and in good condition will return the favor by ensuring that your vehicle runs as it should.
