Change your oil and oil filter 

• Oil is your engine’s life blood – which means it’s very important to have clean, healthy oil in your vehicle at all times. If not, it will lead to issues down the road from accumulated contaminants that cause friction inside the engine. So, schedule your oil change and let our team give your vehicle the green light for this upcoming fall season! 

How are your tires? 

• While we recommend checking your tires monthly, most people forget. And that’s alright – we’re here to help! While seasons change, our road conditions will change as well which makes it important to ensure that your tires are properly inflated and have proper tread. Also, don’t forget to check your spare tire as well. 

Examine belts and hoses 

• We encourage you to inspect the hoses and belts in your engine bay. This is important to ensure that there are no cracks, bulges, or breaks in your hoses because this can lead to issues down the road like an overheating vehicle. Also, your timing belt is crucial to the operation of your engine. If your belt shows excessive wear, cracking, or material loss, it’s time to replace it. 

Check on these items too 

• Wiper blades, your batter, and air filter. While we’re heading into a new season it’s important to be able to see when you’re out and about. If your wipers are streaky or show signs of wear and tear – replace them. It’s a great idea to have your battery check and ensure there is no corrosion around the terminals. And, your air filter should be changed every oil change, if it’s been a minute, swap it out!
