We can recommend how often the vehicle should be inspected and maintained. Regular maintenance can keep it on the road as long as possible, as well as giving you a comfortable ride when you drive.
Regular Oil Changes should be done
One important task to remember to do for your vehicle is to have the oil changed. This should be done on the recommended schedule. The oil is important because it helps to lubricate the moving parts of the engine. Without oil in good condition, the parts will start to wear against one another. This can put unnecessary strain and wear against these parts. If you notice any odd noises coming from under the hood, make sure to bring the vehicle in as soon as possible. Before taking any long distance road trips, make sure the oil is topped off, and that it is in good condition. If you are not sure how often the oil should be changed, contact us and we can advise you on the schedule.
Check the Condition of the Tires
You will also want to make sure that the tires are maintained regularly. The tires are the only part of your vehicle that has direct contact with the surface of the road. If there is any damage or wear to the tires, it can result in a poor ride when you drive. The tires should have the correct amount of air pressure in them. Tires that are inflated correctly will help to improve the fuel efficiency when you drive. If the tire is over inflated, it can be more prone to picking up sharp objects on the surface of the road. Under inflated tires will have an increased chance to blow out because they will not have the proper amount of contact with the surface of the road. The tires should also be inspected for the condition they are in. If there are any cracks, bulges, or damage to the tires, it could mean a much larger issue could form soon. Bring the vehicle in and we can check the condition for you. We can even advise you of the options you have to fix the tires. This can help you to have a safe and reliable ride when you travel.
