Your vehicle is a large investment, so it makes sense to keep it in the best condition possible. This should include bringing it in for regular maintenance inspections. By doing so, we can inspect it for any issues that the parts or components might have. If you are not sure how often to bring the vehicle in for the recommended maintenance inspections, we can advise you on a schedule based on the make and model of your vehicle. If you notice anything out of the norm between visits, make sure to schedule an appointment as soon as you can. Having an issue fixed at the first sign can help prevent more serious issues in the future.

 

Make sure to bring the vehicle in regularly for oil changes. Having fresh clean oil is important to keep the engine parts moving effectively. Without oil, the parts could have strain or stress against them when you drive. If there is not any oil in your vehicle, the engine may seize all together. This can result in a costly repair bill when you will need to repair it. When the oil is changed, we can also inspect the oil filter for your vehicle. The filter is important because it will collect dirt and other pollutants that might be in the oil. This will allow the fresh clean oil to travel through the vehicle and engine.

 

The tires will also need to be inspected. The air pressure should be at the correct amount indicated by the vehicle owner’s manual. This will help the vehicle to drive smoother, as well as have better fuel mileage. If you notice that a tire is getting low more often than the rest, it can indicate a leak. Make sure to schedule an appointment with us so we can inspect the tire carefully. If you are not sure what the correct air pressure should be, we can advise you on the right amount.

 

The windshield wipers will also need to be checked on occasion. The wipers will remove road grime, dirt, and precipitation from the windshield. If your vehicle has a read wiper, that should be inspected as well. This will allow the rear window to be cleaned so you can see all around your vehicle. If there are tears or rips on the wipers, make sure to have them replaced as soon as possible so you can continue to have the best visibility possible when you drive.
