Plenty of our customers have asked us what they can do to extend the life of their cars.
To help keep your vehicle running at its peak performance our technicians have assembled a list of the top 10 repairs and maintenance items that may prolong the life of your automobile.
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 filter gets too dirty, your engine won't be able to pull enough air into the combustion chambers. The engine will then run rich (i.e. Too much gas and not enough air). When that occurs 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 prolongs the life of the radiator, engine and heater by washing away corrosive elements like dirt and rust particles that may block up the cooling system and cause issues in summer and winter. This may be done every two years.
Maintain the Brakes If you neglect your brake pads and shoes, you can cause damage to other, costlier 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 Liquid Changing your transmission fluid at frequent intervals can lengthen the life of the transmission by 50%. If you perform this service on a regular basis chances are 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 Auto Inspection Having your auto inspected seasonally can lengthen the life of many major parts of your vehicle by diagnosing fix issues before they become major issues, and don't say that getting your oil replaced at a "quick lube" includes a thorough inspection. Have a qualfied shop perform the inspection to insure that nothing is missed.
