Completing regular maintenance services will help you avoid many expensive vehicle repairs. When to schedule maintenance services is different for everyone, and depends on multiple factors. This includes the year, make, and model of your vehicle; how often you drive; the terrain you drive in; and your local weather. Call our Service Advisors and provide them with the details. They will provide you with specific recommendations based on the information you provide.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters?
- Lube, Oil & Filter Service: Dirty oil can have a corrosive effect on your vehicle's engine, leading to costly repairs. Keep your engine running smoothly by changing your oil every season.
- Battery Service: Service your battery twice a year to ensure it's in optimal condition. Fluctuations in temperature can affect battery performance, so it's best to have it serviced before summer and winter.
- Tire Rotation: Rotate your tires every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to promote even wear. This extends the life of your tires, saving you money in the long run.
- Cooling System Service: Maintain your vehicle's cooling system to prevent overheating and engine damage. Regular servicing helps ensure proper coolant levels and system efficiency.

Additional Maintenance Services:
- Brake Inspection and Service: Ensure your brakes are functioning properly for safe stopping. Regular inspections and servicing help prevent brake wear and maintain optimal performance.
- Brake Rotor Resurfacing: Rotor resurfacing can be a great way to extend the life of your brake rotors. It's a process that smooths out the surface of your rotors to improve performance. This process isn't always possible. Completing a brake inspection will help our Technicians determine if it's time to resurface or replace your rotors.
- Air Filter Replacement: Replace your vehicle's air filter regularly to maintain clean airflow to the engine, improving fuel efficiency and engine performance.
- Fluid Checks and Top-Ups: Regularly check and top up essential fluids such as coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
- Cabin Air Filter: The cabin air filter maintains clean airflow inside your vehicle. This ensures a healthy environment for you and your passengers. It traps dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Over time it can become clogged, which reduces airflow & compromises your air quality. Replace the cabin air filter to enjoy fresher, cleaner air while you travel.
- Transmission System Service: Maintain your vehicle's transmission system to prevent costly breakdowns and unnecessary repairs. Transmission fluid is crucial for automatic transmissions. It lubricates moving parts, cools the transmission, and maintains hydraulic pressure.. Learn more about this service in our Blog.
