Car Maintenance Service

Basic car maintenance service starts with a motor oil change. At the same time, the fluid should be check and topped off if needed. Tire inspection for uneven wear and nails, checking your tire pressure and adjusting will help keep your tire light off.

Checking the exterior light will help keep you and others safe. Examining the wiper blades will ensure that you see clearly through the front windshield. Lastly, inspecting the brake pads will keep your vehicle’s stopping power at its peak. 

A full service maintenance depends on the vehicle make and model, mileage and the options included in the vehicle. This service can include; timing belt, spark plugs, differential fluids, transmission fluids, cabin and engine air filter replacement, induction service and of course an engine oil and filter change.

A great resource to learn more about the maintenance needs of your vehicle is your cars owner manual. We recommend having your vehicle regular maintenance every 5,000 miles or six months.

Cars that have maintenance reminder lights will notice a blinking or lit light to warn you that you need maintenance. It’s always a good idea to check your owner manual for details.

Skipping maintenance is not recommended and may result in spending money on avoidable breakdowns. In fact, a tire rotation is one of the top skipped maintenance items. Disregarding the tire rotation will result in uneven tire wear and rapid tread wear and may void your tire’s warranty.

In addition, windshield wipers is something that is forgotten until you need to clean your windshield or if it start raining. keeping up with maintenance will in return give you long term use of your vehicle.

Car maintenance can range from basic at $69.00 to more involved at $800.00 or more

A full service in most vehicles can take between 2 to 4 hours. However, a service that is more involved can take up to 6 hours or longer.

Preventative maintenance is the service or replacement of a fluid/component that is marginal in condition, but has not failed yet. As en example, during routine maintenance we test the car battery using a conductance battery tester. The battery test will let us know if the battery is good, marginal or failed.

A marginal battery means that it is close to failing. At this point, we will recommend replacing the battery. By doing so, you will forgo the risk of being stranded because of a failed battery.

The most important maintenance service on a vehicle is an oil change. The most opportune time to perform a routine maintenance inspection is during an oil change.

Although there is no conventional combustion engine, an electric vehicle still need maintenance. Tires, brakes, and suspension among other items still need to be inspection.
