Important Maintenance For Your Vehicle
Important Maintenance For Your Vehicle
Owning a vehicle is an incredibly expensive endeavor and if something goes wrong, it can become even more expensive! That is why it’s incredibly important to keep your vehicle well maintained. We’ve compiled a handy list of important maintenance services to help you keep your vehicle in optimal condition. Plus, following these tips is easy with the help of our service department!
Replacing Your Wiper Blades
Sadly, windshield wipers don’t last for a long time and they are vital to our field of vision when driving. You should check your blades during the summer as heat tends to degrade rubber more quickly which means the squeegee part of the blade will wear down faster with hot temperatures. During the winter months, ice and salt can also wear down the squeegee part of the blade as well as the freezing temperatures. A good rule of thumb is to check your blades every six months and replace if necessary!
Keep Up With Oil Changes
Motor oil is essentially your vehicle’s lifeblood. Oil is in charge of lubricating the engine and protecting all the moving parts from friction and hear. After time, the oil will breakdown and is not capable of doing its job effectively. That is why it's important to keep up with regular oil changes! Your owner’s manual will tell you how often you should be changing your oil and what kind oil to use. We can help you determine how often your vehicle needs an oil change with our service department!
Tire Rotations and Alignments
Tires wear down over time, especially when you spend a lot of time in your vehicle! It's important to make sure that your tires are properly inflated for the lifespan of the tires as well as for enhanced fuel economy! To get the most out of your tires it is important to make sure they are wearing evenly with the help of tire rotations and alignment checks. You can book both a tire rotation and an alignment adjustment with our service departments!
Check Your Brake Pads
Your brake pads experience a high amount of friction when you are driving and braking and these pads are all that stand between your rotors and braking mechanisms. If your brake pads become too thin, they will start grinding against other parts of your vehicle causing serious damage and what can be costly repairs. Ensuring that your brake pads are thick and effective helps ensure your safety on the road. You can book a brake pad replacement with any of our service departments.
