HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO OUR MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTONS
WHEN SHOULD I HAVE A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED?
WITH TODAYS MODERN VEHICLE IT IS IMPERATIVE TO KEEP IT MAINTAINED. MANY SYSTEMS REQUIRE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THE DEALERS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THEY MUST PERFORM THESE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES, THEY ARE LYING. ANY ASE CERTIFIED SHOP CAN PERFORM THESE SERVICES. WE OFFER THESE SERVICES AT A MUCH BETTER PRICE COMPARED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MOST COMMON IS THE OIL CHANGE. GENERAL RULE OF THUMB IS EVERY 3,000 MILES. IF YOU USE SYNTHETIC OIL YOU SHOULD CHANGE IT EVERY 6,000 MILES. MANY OTHER ENGINE, BRAKE AND DRIVETRAIN FLUIDS HAVE TO BE CHANGED. YOUR OWNERS MANUAL WILL TELL YOU WHEN THESE SHOULD BE SERVICED. LOOK UNDER SCHEDULED MAINTENACE TO FIND OUT. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE GUIDLINES LAID OUT IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL. MANY PLACES MAY TRY TO SELL YOU MAINTENANCE ITEMS BEFORE THEY ARE DO. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE. WE HAVE EVERY VEHICLE'S MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE IN OUR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND WOULD BE GLAD TO PRINT IT FOR YOU. SPARK PLUGS HAVE REALLY CHANGED OVER THE YEARS. ALMOST EVERY NEW VEHICLE HAS DOUBLE PLATINUM OR IRIDIUM TIPPED SPARK PLUGS. THESE MATERIALS HAVE LENGTHENED THE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS. MOST CARS ARE AT 60,000 OR 100,000 MILES BEFORE THEY NEED REPLACEMENT. A WELL MAINAINED VEHICLE GETS BETTER MILEAGE AND WILL GIVE YOU LESS TROUBLE DOWN THE ROAD. PLEASE CALL US WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
