Preventative maintenance are services that will help avoid hazardous roadside breakdowns or leaving you stranded with a vehicle that won’t start. It is important to bring your vehicle in for regularly scheduled maintenance items such as oil changes. Our technicians can then perform a quick visual inspection and point out items that are in danger of failing. It is generally a good idea to have leaking hoses or cracked belts replaced before they have a chance of breaking all-together.

We recommend that you change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles in order to keep your engine running in optimal condition. It is also important to use the weight and type of oil recommended by your manufacturer.

As the main point of contact with the pavement, tires are subject to the most wear and tear. This is especially true if you utilize your vehicle for off-roading or have a two-wheel drive system which puts most of the labor on a specific set of wheels. That being the case, having your tires rotated every six months or around 6,000 to 8,000 miles is a good rule to uphold. Doing so will ensure your tires wear evenly.

Aside from engine oil, there are many other fluids that are vital to the health of your vehicle. Some examples include the transmission fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, and power-steering fluid. Their levels are not only affected by how frequently you drive but extreme temperatures as well. As such, specialists advise checking them at the same time as your oil change or every month or two.

Brake fluid should be checked for acidity every so often. This is because once moisture gets into your brake lines, your brake fluid can become acidic and therefore corrosive. This will eventually eat away at the more vulnerable components of your braking system and cause the need for more involved and intensive repairs later down the road. We can easily check your brake fluid while your vehicle is in our garage for almost any service.
