Why is car maintenance important?
To help keep you car running newer, longer. Lapsing maintenance on your car's vital fluid exchanges, dirty filters, fussy belts and old spark plugs can lead to bigger, expensive problems like broken radiators, slipping gear shifts and ultimately engine failure.

What happens if I don't get an
oil change? Don't play with fire, because that's exactly what you're doing with the life of your car if you wait too long to change your oil. Skipping oil changes, exceeding mileage or going long periods of time before your next oil change can accelerate the wear on the vital parts that keep you car running smoothly, eventually leading to premature engine break down. |
What are the signs I need
new brakes? When your car starts creating abnormal sounds feelings or smells, start investigating the issue sooner rather than letting the condition worsen. Waiting will only lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads and shoes exceed their lifespan shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. |
What is the benefit of having a belt replaced?
Driving on an old belt is a disaster waiting to happen because it powers most all of the engine's accessories. That means when your belt breaks, slips and, ultimately, wears out, everything stops working. The parts it controls can become severely damaged. Broken hoses and belts are bad; a damaged engine is even worse. By replacing your belt periodically, you can minimize the risk of breakdown. |
