Change The Oil on Time

Regularly scheduled oil changes are always on the top of our list for keeping your car running smoothly. But I guess we’re a little biased… But seriously, oil changes will keep your engine lubricated and performing at its peak. If you wait too long to change your oil, you may be damaging your vehicle! Make sure you are following your manufacturer’s recommended oil change interval. It will differ depending on your vehicle. When it is time for a change we can help you out there! On our list of New Years’ resolutions, this is always at the top!

Have Your Fluids Regularly Checked/Changed

Not only is it important to regularly have your oil changed, but as well to check and change the fluids in your vehicle. Some important fluids to check are power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, transmission fluid, radiator fluid, and differential fluid. As well, check your engine coolant. It may sound like a lot, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. We can help check all of them anytime for you, (well anytime we are open that is) and change them when necessary. By the way, we are open 7 days a week!

Change Filters When Necessary

Checking your filters regularly is important as well. Your air filter, cabin air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter all need to be changed periodically. Ignoring these can lead to your fuel efficiency dropping, as well as the potential of damaging certain parts of your engine. We can check these for you and advise when they need to be changed. If they are ready for a change, we can help you out there!

Change Windshield Wipers When Necessary

This is an easy one to tell whether or not it’s time for a change. With Winter here it is essential to make sure your windshield wipers are working properly. When your windshield wipers start streaking we can help you change them! You’ll know when it’s time.  Don’t put it off, we can do it for you and get you back to driving safely in just a few minutes!

Regularly Wash and Clean Your Car

Keeping your car clean inside and out will not only protect your car but will also help keep it looking new. We spend a lot of money on cars, so we should do our best to protect them. Washing your car at least once a month is an attainable goal and will have many benefits. Some of which include protection from dirt and other damaging particles and better fuel efficiency. Washing your car doesn’t have to be done alone either. Some of our locations offer car washes as well. If you’re at one of our locations that do, we recommend taking advantage of it!

Don’t Ignore Problems

We’ve all heard or felt something funny while driving. If you’re anything like me you may have ignored it until finally, it gets worse. This new year make a resolution to get these small problems looked at before they become worse. Make sure to keep up with any maintenance problems that may arise. If you hear a strange noise, don’t just ignore it! Take your car somewhere you trust before the problem gets worse. We can help diagnose many potential problems during your full-service oil change!

Use Your Blinkers

I saved this one for last, well because don’t get me started! Please use your blinkers! Even if you think no one is near you, just use them! Look out for other drivers and yourself, there’s no excuse not to use them. And, if they aren’t working we’ll help you fix them!
