Here are a few things that you should know.

Spring Maintenance

Batteries

A weak battery can strand you at what always seems like the worst time and place. Trained technicians will test your battery to ensure it has thousands of starts left in it.  Click Here For More

Tires

The wrong air pressure can compromise your vehicle's ride and handling. So can a tire's tread. If your tires are squealing when you turn corners, then have them properly inspected. The Car Care Council found 54% of vehicles had improperly inflated tires.

Brakes

An expert inspection is necessary to ensure your brakes are functioning properly. It doesn't matter if you have great tires and a working battery -- if you can't stop the car you're in big trouble. Squealing, chattering and movement in the pedal are all signs that brakes need to be inspected immediately.  Click Here For More

Oil

Changing oil and filters at recommended intervals minimizes engine wear and reduces the possibilities of internal damage. If your engine seizes up from low or no oil you're looking at engine replacement, if not total car replacement. Hmmm, let's see; oil change $30; engine replacement $5,000.

Fluid Levels

Low or high fluid levels - including coolant, power steering, transmission and brake fluids, even washer solvent - can affect vehicle performance and safety. Low fluid levels can wreak havoc on your car that will in turn wreak havoc on your budget.

Belts & Hoses

A broken belt or ruptured hose can result in costly engine damage and travel delays. Technicians are trained and have the proper tools to find cracks and leaks which aren't always visible to the layman eye.  Click Here For More

Headlights

Properly aimed headlamps help you see and be seen. They won't do you much good if they're pointing at the moon. Today's headlights are very high-tech and shouldn't be touched with human hands because skin oils will shorten their lives. Let a trained technician keep you out of the dark in more ways than one.
