Preventative car maintenance both fixes problems your vehicle may presently be experiencing and prevents other issues from developing later on. With regularly scheduled maintenance, you keep your car in good shape, save money on costly repairs and prevent future problems from arising.
Preventative Maintenance Services
Preventative auto maintenance can include a variety of services to increase your vehicle’s lifespan, such as:
Tire Rotations
Regular tire rotations prevent car owners from prematurely replacing tires due to overuse. Tire tread erodes over time, and this wear typically occurs more extensively on the front of your car. Rotating your tires helps even the wear and prolong overall longevity.
Oil Changes
Any problems with your car’s oil, whether it be low levels or oil that is too old, could result in extensive engine damage. Oil changes help expand your engine’s lifespan and ensure your car oil is at the proper levels.
To keep your engine in good shape, you should have your oil changed either every three months or once your car has reached 3000-5000 miles.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Normal use and changing temperatures alter your tire pressure over time. Deflated tires cause premature wear, while overinflated tires can decrease your vehicle’s responsiveness to steering.
With a tire pressure check, a mechanic can monitor the pressure levels and quickly restore your tire pressure to optimal standards.
Stay Safe with Professional Car Maintenance
Frequent, proactive maintenance is the key to owning a safe and properly functioning vehicle. By assessing the health of your car on a regular basis, you can not only prevent future problems but correct any present failures before they result in a safety hazard.
