Why is Preventative Maintenance Service Important?

Preventative maintenance is a range of services done to protect your vehicle from severe issues and expensive repairs. It's done to catch and mitigate issues with your car before it requires significant repairs. Keeping up with your maintenance schedule will help keep your car on the road longer.

Essential Maintenance Services That You Need to Do Routinely

• • Oil & Filter Changes: Routinely replacing your engine oil and oil filters will ensure that your engine is always adequately lubricated and protected.
• • Belt & Hose Replacement: Ensuring that your car belts and hoses are in good condition can prevent unexpected breakdowns or more severe issues.
• • Auto-Electrical Testing (Car Battery & Alternator): You should ensure that your automotive battery is in good condition and that the alternator is appropriately charging it.
• • Engine Diagnostics: If you're experiencing a Check Engine light or other performance issues, engine diagnostics can pick up on several issues before they become severe.
• • Brake Pad & Brake Fluid Changes: Brake pads need to be replaced routinely since they wear down quickly. It would be best if you also flushed brake fluid regularly to maintain a working braking system.
• • Cooling System Fluid Flush: Your coolant levels should always be checked and replaced as needed. Failure to do so can lead to overheating or serious engine or radiator damage.
• • Air Filter Changes: Ensure that both the engine air filter and the cabin air filters are clean.
• • Automotive Tune-Up: Car tune-ups replace worn-out parts like spark plugs, wires, belts, hoses, and other car parts. 
• • Tire Rotations: Tire rotations help extend your tires' life by allowing for even wear of your tire tread.
• • Wheel Alignments: When your wheels are correctly aligned, they provide increased fuel efficiency, prolonged tire life, and minimized stress on steering and suspension components.

How Often Should I Have My Vehicle Inspected?

We recommend getting a maintenance inspection every 30,000 miles until you reach 75,000 miles. After 75,000 miles, you should carry out inspections annually to ensure that you pick up on any issues before they become problems.
