When Should I Get My Car Serviced?
All vehicles are engineered differently and while there is no general set timeline, referring to your owner's manual will let you know when your vehicle needs to visit our facility.
However, there are some rules of thumb you can abide by. For example, most vehicles require an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Other important services that should be done regularly include:
- Tire rotations
- Brake inspections
- Fluid checks
- Battery care
How Often Should I Check My Car's Fluid Levels?
To ensure your model is performing its best, it's important to check its fluid levels at least once a month-and top off any low fluids. This includes:
- Oil
- Coolant
- Brake fluid
- Transmission fluid and more
Are you noticing you need to add fluid frequently? It could be a sign of a leak! Bring your vehicle to our service center to repair the issue and avoid further damage down the line.
How Often Should I Replace My Car's Air Filter?
Our experts recommend replacing your vehicle's air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles to elevate your model's performance and fuel efficiency. However, if you drive in dusty, dirty, or highly polluted areas, you may need to have it replaced more often.
What Should I Do If My Check Engine Light Comes On?
Your vehicle is equipped with a smart diagnostic system that will let you know when it senses something isn't quite right. This includes your car's dashboard check engine light.
When this illuminates, it could be an indication of a serious issue in your engine, emissions system, and more-all of which can lead to extensive repairs down the road if not taken care of. This is why you must make an appointment at our service center when you see this light pop up.
How Often Should I Replace My Car's Brake Pads?
The lifespan of your car's brake pads will vary depending on your driving habits, as well as road conditions, but in general, replacing them every 25,000 to 50,000 miles is a smart idea.
You can also watch for warning signs that it's time to replace your brake pads! Some include:
- Squeaking or grinding noises
- Reduced braking power
- Longer stopping distance
