There are many ways you can maintain your car’s health, and also save money over the long term. Here’s an auto tune up list to help you save money:
OIL CHANGES
Many drivers forget to change their oil, which can cause damage to their cars. Oil problems can be costly to fix. To avoid oil issues, remember that you only have to change your oil once you’ve had it done, you will still need to do the same for every 6,000 miles.
BATTERY CARE
Proper battery care is a great way to prolong the life of your vehicle’s batteries. Cleaning the battery is one way to care for it. You will need a pair of gloves, a stainless steel wire brush, and a microfiber towel. Cleaning your vehicle’s battery is important because it removes corrosion. A bad connection can cause your car to not start. Other problems could also occur. Cleaning your battery can prolong its life.
SPARE TIRE
Be ready for anything! It is important to have a spare tire in your car. This can help you avoid having to pay for towing. Make sure your spare tire is always ready and inflated. Your spare tire kit contains all the tools necessary to change your tire. You should consider buying a spare tire if your vehicle does not have one. Repairs and towing can cost more than buying a new tire.
BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT
Are you hearing strange sounds from your brakes? Are they working properly? What about when you push the brake harder than usual to decrease your speed? This is something you should address immediately. To prevent this from happening, it is important to check your brake fluid and brakes every time you go for an oil change. You should change your brake system immediately if your brake fluid appears as a dark liquid.
AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT
Car air filters are designed to keep dirt, dust, and debris out of your engine. These materials can lead to engine deterioration or corroding. This is a serious problem that must be addressed if you want your car to perform well in extreme and varied weather conditions. In case you suspect something is wrong, visit your trusted auto repair shop for immediate action.
INSTALL NEW WIPERS
You should replace your windshield wipers if they are not working properly. Your windshield wipers must be able to withstand heavy rains and the fall of leaves. It is important to check your wipers at every change of season in order to ensure they are prepared for any changes in weather or terrain. Poor windshield wipers are an obvious safety risk in some states. You risk being in a collision if you can’t properly wipe off snow and rain.
TIRE ROTATION
Rotating your tires regularly can increase the life of your tires. It is important to rotate all four tires regularly, as they wear most often on the outside. Tire wear can cause slipping, and eventually a flat tire. It can cost a lot to replace a single or all four tires.
COOLANT TOPUP
Coolants can affect the heater, water pump, air conditioning system, radiator, and air conditioning system of your vehicle. Coolant cools the engine. Overheating can cause engine damage. Your engine can overheat, and it will shut down completely. This could leave you on the sidelines or cost you a tow. We recommend checking your coolant at minimum twice per year, before the warm weather starts or when winter is approaching.
CHECK THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Your car’s suspension system includes shocks, springs, and struts. Your car’s suspension system is an integral part. It is vital to determine if your shocks are in need of replacement. We inspect the shocks and complete the suspension system, as well as oil changes.
INSPECT HOSES AND BELTS
We recommend that you inspect your belts, hoses, and other devices. Belts that are worn down will usually break and eventually stop working. The engine’s belts create power by transferring energy to various components. If your radiator hose is damaged or missing, it can cause your engine not to run properly. Your belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles. We recommend that you replace your hoses once every four years, or when there is wear. Car maintenance in Corryton is necessary to keep your vehicle in top shape for the longest time possiblele.
