Common Overlooked Auto Maintenance & Why It Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Maintaining your vehicle is essential for longevity and performance. While most car owners remember oil changes and tire rotations, many crucial maintenance tasks often slip through the cracks. Here are some to be mindful of….
Cabin Air Filter Replacement
We understand, a vehicle’s maintenance schedule can often be ‘out of sight out of mind’. However, keeping your cabin air filter clean is imperative for air quality, helping to reduce allergens and pollutants.
Brake Fluid Replacement
Brake fluid degradation isn’t immediately noticeable. But, over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which can lead to corrosion in the brake system and reduced braking efficiency. Ignoring it can compromise your safety and result in costly repairs.
Transmission Fluid Maintenance
Dirty or low transmission fluid can cause overheating and lead to transmission failure. This is one of the most expensive repairs your vehicle might need, and should definitely be mitigated ‘at all costs’.
Wheel Alignment
Uneven tire wear or a pulling sensation are indicators that you may be in need of a wheel alignment. A poor alignment will cause premature tire wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and effect vehicle handling.
Tire Pressure & Tread Checks
Your tire pressure and tread depth is an important check – especially as we head into the winter months. In need of winter tire installations in Murrayville? We can help with that too!
