Plenty of our customers have asked us what they can do to extend the life of their cars.
To help you keep your auto running at the pinnacle performance our mechanics have compiled a listing of the top ten repair and maintenance items which will lengthen the life of your vehicle.
Change the Oil
Changing your oil at the factory recommended interval keeps the engine freed from sludge and combustion elements that can harm your automobile.
Perform Tire Upkeep Regular tire revolution and proper inflation won't only lengthen the life of the tires, but also increase fuel mileage.
Change the Air Filter for the Engine and the Cabin If your air purifier gets too filthy, your engine won't be well placed to pull enough air into the combustion chambers. The engine will then run rich (i.e. Too much gas and not enough air). When this happens gas mileage suffers.
Replace the Spark Plugs Replacing the spark plugs in your engine can prevent misfires and poor performance as well as seriously reduce emissions and improve gas mileage.
Flush the Cooling System Flushing the cooling system lengthens the life of the radiator, engine and heater by washing away corrosive elements like dust and rust particles that can clog up the cooling system and cause Problems in winter and summer. This should be done each 2 years.
Maintain the Brakes If you neglect your brake pads and shoes, you could cause damage to other, more expensive brake parts like rotors, drums and calipers.
Perform a Fuel Injection Service Performing a fuel injection service not only lengthens the life expectancy of the injectors, but can increase fuel mileage with benefits that completely outweigh the cost of the service.
Change the Transmission Fluid Changing your transmission liquid at regular intervals can extend the life of the transmission by 50%. If you perform this service on a constant basis likelihood is that you may never experience a major transmission failure.
Replace the Timing Belt Replacing the timing belt, before it breaks can save you hundreds of bucks. Most makers suggest replacement between 60,000 and 105,000 miles depending on model and make. If the belt fails, the engine will instantly shut down leaving you stranded.
Perform a Seasonal Complete Car Inspection Having your vehicle checked seasonally can prolong the life of many major elements of your auto by diagnosing mend issues before they become major Problems, and do not assume that getting your oil changed at a "quick lube" has a inclusive inspection. Have a qualfied shop perform the inspection to insure that nothing is missed.
