One of the best things you can do for the longevity of your car is preventative maintenance. Instead of performing repairs as problems occur, be proactive and regularly maintain your car by taking it into an auto centre for regular examining and tuning up your vehicle. At Automotive Edge, we provide a variety of car preventative maintenance services. That way the chances of you breaking down unexpectedly or having a part randomly malfunctioning, is significantly decreased.
Not only does car preventative maintenance reduce the risk of you being stranded on the side of the road, but it also extends the lifespan and effectiveness of your vehicle. And as parts are routinely checked through our inspections, they are also less likely to break. We look throughout your vehicle for any wear or completely worn-out parts and repair them as part of our preventative maintenance. Automobiles play a big part in our daily lives, and if we can keep your car functioning at top performance, we are happy to help.
There are quite a few different vehicle parts that should be regularly inspected and serviced. One of the primary ones is your car’s battery. A weak battery can actually damage other car parts if it is not working correctly. They need replaced every 3-5 years, and should be checked regularly to ensure the connectors are securely attached, and in case sulfate has built up on the battery. Batteries should be a part of your preventative maintenance, especially since they are impacted by temperature, can easily drain, and need to maintain their voltage. So, make sure your battery is checked when getting your car preventative maintenance.
Tires wear down at different rates, and typically the front tires wear down quicker than the back ones. That’s why, as part of preventative maintenance, automotive tires should be rotated every six months or every 10000-13000 KM. Also, every six months the wheels should be balanced and aligned to ensure a smooth and safe ride. This helps distribute weight evenly on the axle, reducing tension on other critical car parts.
Getting your brakes flushed and inspected is vital for car preventative maintenance. Not only is it for your safety, but also for everyone on the road. The majority of accidents are due to faulty brakes, so be sure to get them checked out during your tune-up. Another important thing that needs to be changed regularly are engine belts. If you wait until it snaps it can lead to more significant mechanical troubles.
To keep your vehicles system functioning properly, part of your car preventative maintenance should include regular: oil flushes and filter changes, cooling system flushes, spark plug testing and replacement, air filter changes,fuel injector checks, and exhaust system performances to avoid engine trouble.
Preventative maintenance is the best gift that you can give to your car. It can also help reduce the risks of breakdowns and accidents due to things like malfunctioning brakes.
