Preventative Maintenance Saves Money

A great place to start simple but often overlooked is your owner’s manual. While it may not be exciting, it contains manufacturer-recommended service intervals specific to your vehicle.

Some basic but critical maintenance includes:

• Regular oil changes every 3,000–5,000 miles, using the exact oil type recommended

• Checking and maintaining proper fluid levels, including:

  • Brake fluid

  • Power steering fluid

  • Transmission and transaxle fluids

When you bring your vehicle to us, we inspect these components for you so you can drive with confidence.

Other important checks include:

• Windshield washer fluid

• Coolant/antifreeze levels

• Battery cables and connections (free of corrosion)

Performance-related items like spark plugs and fuel injectors should also be serviced periodically. When neglected, they can significantly reduce fuel economy and overall performance.
