It’s pretty frustrating when you face any unexpected car trouble. And this holds especially true if you’re in a hurry to get to your destination, or if the vehicle breaks down right in the middle of nowhere, with no garage or auto repair service provider available for miles upon miles.
Fortunately, such issues and problems can be easily avoided if you have your vehicle checked at regular intervals as stipulated in your car’s owner’s manual. As a matter of fact, having your vehicle routinely maintained not only cuts down significantly the chances of a breakdown, but performing routine car service and checkups also saves you money in the long run. Let us see how:
The engine is the heart of any vehicle. Obviously, if your engine fails, the vehicle will essentially become useless. This is why, it is absolutely essential to have your car’s engine checked by our qualified and experienced service professionals so that any issues can be nipped in the bud and so your car retains its ability to perform at peak intervals on a consistent basis. Apart from that, it is also important to check the car’s transmission to ensure that it continues to operate properly for a long time to come.
Some of the more important things to check include:
Check the oil in your car’s engine and see if it needs to be changed. If you want your car to perform optimally, then use only motor oil of the type and viscosity recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer and change the oil at the intervals denoted in your owner’s manual.
This is almost as important as the engine oil. Should the coolant not be at the adequate level or quality, especially during the hot months, the engine could overheat and get damaged. Overheated engines may sustain internal damage, such as blown head gasket(s) or damaged cylinder head and/or engine block. This sort of failure can be quite costly and highly inconvenient.
After the engine, the brakes are the second most important system in your vehicle that should be regularly checked and maintained. From the brake fluid to the brake disks, brake pads, and brake shoes, all the components of your car’s braking system should be inspected and serviced by our certified and experienced automotive technicians. It goes without saying that unexpected brake system failures can have devastating repercussions.
Finally, the tires on your vehicle should be inspected and maintained regularly. Frequent tire rotations are key to extending the life of your tires. Of course, once the tires are worn out, they should be replaced. Your tires have a certain service life and after that, it’s time for new ones. Even if there is tread remaining on the tires, our experts will inspect for cracking rubber and tread separation, mainly due to tire age.
