Why Is Preventative Maintenance Important?
Preventive maintenance may seem like an unnecessary car expense, but it often involves matters that you’ll have to take care of sooner or later, and paying for them sooner will often be a less expensive undertaking. Most important is the fact that preventive maintenance will help keep you and others safe. And if you don’t keep up with your car’s preventive maintenance schedule, you may find yourself stuck or in need of repair when you can least afford it.
We’ll Keep Your Vehicle Well Maintained
When you visit Auto Service Specialists for preventative maintenance, we’ll perform inspections and, if necessary, replace any of the following:
Oil Change Service
Your engineโs oil can get very dirty and should be changed about every 3-5,000 miles or three months. Weโll be sure to drain the old oil from your vehicle and replace it with fresh motorย oilย that meets the manufacturer’s specifications.
Fluids
Weโll check all your fluids to ensure the longevity of your vehicle. This includes checking your oil, antifreeze, steering fluid, and brake fluid. Itโs also a good idea to check your wiper fluid. It is of the utmost importance that your car not run out of oil, as this can destroy your engine. Antifreeze should not be allowed to get too low, or your carโs engine will overheat, which can do severe damage. Antifreeze should be changed about once every two years.โ
Tires
Check your tire pressure oftenโat least once a week is a good idea. The amount of pressure that your tires should be inflated to can be found on the inside door jamb on the driverโs side of your car. Low inflation is dangerous because it can cause loss of control and blowouts. It also causes poor gas mileage. You should also check the tire tread for uneven wear and to see if there is enough tread on the tires. Stick a penny in the tire tread, and if you can see all of Lincolnโs head, itโs time to get a new tire. At Auto Service Specialists, we perform tire replacements on cars and trucks alike.
Itโs also important to have your brake pads changed regularly. Brake pads can last anywhere from 20,000 to 60,000 miles. You should also listen to see if you hear any screeching or grinding. These signs will let you know if there is a problem, but it makes sense to check often and get pads changed early rather than late.
Air Filter and Battery
Two other important areas to check are your air filter and your battery. Have our technicians test your battery if it is over 3 years old. A battery will usually last about five years or more. Take a look to see if there is any corrosion around the battery or battery cables. If you think your battery is nearing the end of its life, weโll be happy to replace it for you.
Your air filter is what keeps the air that runs through your engine clean. The filter can get very dirty, and replacing it will make your car run better. A dirty air filter can rob you of gas mileage.
