Our Lima service center takes it upon ourselves to prepare you and your vehicle for the road ahead. Through preventive maintenance, you can get ahead of any potential issues before they happen, and focus on enjoying your time behind the wheel.
Oil and Oil Filter Changes
By sticking to your vehicle's recommended service intervals, you can get ahead of any issues stemming from old or overused motor oil. Since oil lubricates the engine and keeps your vehicle from overheating, stay vigilant with the condition of your motor oil!
Keep a Six-Month Checklist
- Tire rotation: Rotating your tires can help promote even wear across each one.
- Wheel balance and alignment: Routine balancing helps ensure the weight of your vehicle is distributed equally around the axel, which means your tire won't wobble or bump unnecessarily. A wheel alignment confirms your tires are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road, which can improve the smoothness of your ride and fuel efficiency, as well.
- Get new windshield wipers: Having functional windshield wipers can go overlooked, but visibility is an essential part of safe driving. Get your wipers inspected regularly and replaced if needed.
Test Your Battery
A dead battery can come at an inconvenient time, though preventative maintenance can lower those chances! By cleaning and testing your vehicle's battery every three to five years, you can stay up to date with its condition and not get caught off-guard.
Spark Plug Replacement
The importance of spark plugs is pretty self-explanatory as they're responsible for starting your car. Extreme temperatures can negatively impact your spark plugs, alongside normal wear and tear, outside debris and other contaminants. It's typically recommended you replace your spark plugs every 30,000 miles.
Stay on Top of Your Filters
As mentioned, your oil filter is incredibly important, but it's not the only filter to pay attention to. Keep a watchful eye on your vehicle's air filter, cabin air filter and fuel filter in order to prevent any unpleasant drives down the road.
