Top 10 Maintenance Procedures for Your Car

When it comes to your car’s performance and overall health, simple maintenance procedures such as an oil change or a tire rotation are more important than you might think. And these aren’t the only tasks that your vehicle can benefit from. 

Tire inspection: this includes the pressure and tread of each tire, and the wheel itself. Moreover, every 6,000 – 8,000 miles we rotate your tires to keep the wear and tear balanced across all four of them.

Check the lighting: every time you bring your car in for a tune-up, we’ll check the interior and exterior lighting and replace any expired bulbs.

Check the climate control system: the climate control system includes all the HVAC components responsible for heating and cooling. 

Inspect the steering and suspension system: this system is something that we check yearly. It’s comprised of several important auto parts, such as the shock absorbers, struts, and ball joints.

Check all fluids: engine oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid all need to be topped off regularly, as well as the transmission fluid and antifreeze. We’ll also top-off your wiper fluid and make sure your wiper blades are in good shape. 

Check the hoses and belts: your car features an assortment of belts and hoses that are essential to good performance. Our car service center is where we’ll inspect these parts for cracks, tears, and other signs of excessive wear.

Check the battery: the connections between the battery and the terminals require regular cleaning to keep them corrosion-free. Also, the battery needs to rest snugly in its dock so it’s not rattling around.

Check the brake system: we inspect your car’s entire brake system at our dealership, including the brake linings, rotors, and drums.

Inspect the exhaust system: The exhaust system is inspected periodically for leaks, damage, and broken supports. These are all problems that could make your car less safe to drive.
