Before you bring your vehicle in for service, consider making notes about issues you may be facing with your vehicle. If anything feels out of the ordinary, our experienced technicians can take a look and perform inspections to discover and address potential concerns. With your information about odd sounds or characteristics, we can focus on an area to provide a detailed action plan.
Synthetic oil has quickly become the standard for new vehicles thanks to advanced refinement processes and chemical additives that provide optimal protection. Conventional oil is the traditional choice, using a petroleum base and lower amounts of additives to provide essential protection. While synthetic oils may cost more upfront, they've allowed manufacturers to increase oil change interval lengths without harming reliability.
Frequent oil changes can help your vehicle retain your fuel economy ratings by reducing the heat and friction your engine experiences. With the ability to keep items lubricated, your engine won't have to work as hard to provide the levels of power or efficiency you expect. Plus, frequent oil changes help keep sludge and oxidation buildup from occurring, helping you achieve better reliability over time by preventing reduced oil flow from contaminants.
Since batteries don't have a specific replacement interval due to changing environmental conditions, we encourage regular inspections and load tests performed to ensure your electrical system meets manufacturer recommendations. Changes in humidity and temperature between summer and winter tend to stress vehicle batteries more, potentially leaving you stranded when you least expect it.
Some of the most common signs that your vehicle brakes need to be changed include squealing or grinding noises under braking, a soft or squishy brake pad, or increased vehicle braking distances. In addition, an illuminated brake light while the parking brake is released could indicate issues with your vehicle, like reduced anti-lock braking capability. If you experience any of the above brake wear signs, consider scheduling a brake inspection online so you can become better informed about the health of your car, truck, or SUV.
Not every brake pad replacement service requires you to purchase new rotors, though it may be recommended depending on the condition of your brake rotors. Brake rotors wear away like brake pads, often requiring replacement when they are too thin to provide adequate stopping power. In addition, brake rotors have the potential to warp during hot and cold cycles, potentially reducing the braking ability of your vehicle and negating the advantages of fresh brake pads.
Some of the most common repairs to conduct on used vehicles as they age include belt repairs, tune-ups, frequent oil changes, and filter replacements. In addition, some drivers may find that their maintenance needs change based on their application, such as needing newer tires suited toward long commutes or off-road excursions.
