Don’t Let Your Maintenance “Fall” Behind
Seasonal car care planning and preventative maintenance can save you money and time as the weather changes.
Timely maintenance does more than keep your vehicle running smoothly. It will save you money in both the short- and long-term because you are improving your vehicle’s trade-in value, getting the most out of its mileage, and preventing costly repairs down the road.
In addition to keeping more cash in your pockets, performing routine maintenance and using quality products can help drivers stay safe through even the harshest of conditions.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, maintenance plays a big role in staying safe – about one in eight crashes can be attributed to mechanical defects due to neglected vehicle maintenance.
Whether you live in a warm or cold climate, regular vehicle maintenance is a good seasonal and sensible thing to do.
A fall checkup includes:
- Battery and charging system inspection
- Lube, oil, and filter change
- Air and cabin filters inspection/replacement
- Replacement of worn wiper blades and washer fluid level check
- Engine tune-up
- Heating and cooling system inspection or flush
- Brake system inspection and service
- Wheel balance and alignment
- Tire inspection and rotation
According to the Car Care Council, 87% of the parts and systems inspected failed during vehicle check lanes conducted earlier this year. Taking time now for preventive maintenance could potentially save the hassle of repair bills later. Contact us now to make your appointment.
