Periodic inspection and diagnostics of your car or truck help to identify problems before they occur, to prevent costly breakdowns. Annual inspections will help to identify any potential problems before they become serious expenses. Diagnostics of your engine’s mechanical systems will identify future possible issues before they cause your system to fail, saving you time, energy, and money in addition to eliminating the stress and inconvenience of an engine malfunction or breakdown.
Certain preventative measures that every vehicle owner should always adhere to include:
- Oil change: This is an essential requirement of vehicle maintenance that is relatively inexpensive but but vital to keep the engine running smoothly
- Air filter: These filters control the quality of air that flows into the engine, improving fuel efficiency and decreasing emissions
- Spark plugs: Over time these become clogged and can affect engine efficiency
- Tire pressure: Checking your vehicle’s tire pressure not only improves the life of the tire but contributes significantly to better mileage and definitely greater passenger safety
- Windshield wipers: These blades wear out periodically and need to be replaced to maintain clear vision and safety
- Cabin filter: Often forgotten, these filters improve the quality of air that flows into the vehicle’s interior, trapping dust, pollen, and other debris before they can enter the cabin
Even if your vehicle seems to be operating properly, there are a number of issues that could crop up quickly, usually at inopportune moments. Mechanical breakdowns on the highway are catastrophic in nature and can be highly expensive as well as significant safety issues. Regular diagnostic care of your vehicle will define and identify most potential problems. Service technicians will check:
- Coolant systems
- Power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid
- Tires, rotation, alignment
- Headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights, parking lights
- Battery
- Belts
- Brakes
The expense of a routine, diagnostic checkup is very likely to be considerably less than a major expense of serious engine failure. Consider your vehicle’s health as similar to your own health requirements. Regular exams to your doctor are important steps to maintain good health; regular service checks can keep your vehicle free of future complications.
Not only is the cost of early detection beneficial but the prospect of dealing with mechanical breakdowns in your vehicle can be highly inconvenient, requiring maintenance that surely didn’t figure in your budget. Prevention of costly repairs by our regular maintenance exams can eliminate most unexpected repair bills, keeping you comfortable and secure.
