Preventive Maintenance
Keeping up your car's maintenance helps to avoid more costly repairs in the future, not to mention, the hassle of a roadside breakdown. Taking care of your car by performing preventative maintenance helps ensure you have safe and reliable transportation.
Fluids - The first thing to know when it comes to preventative maintenance deals with your vehicle's fluids. Your car needs these fluids to keep running smoothly and prevent overheating.
Filters - Whether filtering oil, fuel, or air, your car's engine and drivetrain rely on pure ingredients free from power-robbing particles. Your vehicle's fuel system, for example, wants only the purest gasoline or diesel. When microscopic particles build up in the system over time, they reduce its efficiency and cause issues like decreased gas mileage. The same goes for your engine's air filter. An engine needs a mix of fuel and air to create combustion, and that can't happen if your motor can't breathe.
Timing Components - Your car's timing components are extremely important to examine during the course of preventative maintenance. There are a number of events that need to take place for one full revolution of your car's engine. These belts ensure that they all line up with each other and occur at exactly the right moment. Should the belts become damaged or break, the events can fall out of sync and happen at the wrong time, which can be seriously detrimental to the health of your engine and your car overall.
Tires - Tire balancing is another important area of preventative maintenance. If your car's tires are out of balance, they could be putting undue strain on other components in the suspension, braking, and drivetrain systems, which can cost you greatly further down the road.
