Your vehicle will love you if it receives regular vehicle maintenance as scheduled.
As car owners and drivers, we know it’s important to maintain our vehicles. But between life, work, the kids and all the other things we would rather be doing, basic car maintenance can often be forgooten. Just know that keeping your car up-to-date with maintenance means a better running vehicle and saving money in the long run.
From optimal fuel efficiency to retaining your car’s money value, these simple car maintenance tips will have you in the best possible situation:
Don’t forget your car’s scheduled maintenance (oil changes and more). Check your owner’s guide and find out when your scheduled car maintenance services are. Usually maintenance involves checking or replacing parts like spark plugs, wires and timing belts. Eventually, other major parts may need replacing in order to keep your vehicle running efficiently and safely. While it may cost a little more, scheduling service through Rock Creek Auto Reapair not only guarantees great parts and service, it also keeps your service history in line and up to date, which will attract more buyers and higher prices when it comes to selling your car.
Replace the air filters. Think of it as your car’s breath. By replacing old and clogged air filters on older vehicles with carbureted engines or fuel-injected engines, you can improve your car’s fuel economy and acceleration by a few percent under normal replacement conditions. Any new filter will optimize your fuel economy and performance.
Get an oil change. This is one of the simplest car maintenance services you can do to keep your vehicle in the best running condition. A regular oil change is detrimental to your car’s health, and without them regularly can even cause an engine failure, which can cost thousands. While we change the oil we provide other system checks including belts and fluids.
Check your tire pressure. We’ll check your tire pressure too, as it also is related to fuel economy and vehicle operation smoothness.
