Bring your car in for a tune-up on a regular basis, and replace consumable items like motor oil, radiator coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, wiper blades, and brake pads. Some vehicles also require mechanical maintenance, such as spark plug replacement, drive belt replacement, timing belt or chain replacement, and air and fluid filter replacement.
Belts and hoses deteriorate with use. Rubber hoses can crack or swell, causing leaks and potentially leaving you stranded. Checking the hoses for the radiator, power brakes, and power steering as your car approaches 100,000 miles is a must.
Mobile Mechanic Canberra provides a variety of routine vehicle maintenance services, including tune-ups, inspections, and belt and hose replacement.
Your car will run more efficiently if you keep up with scheduled maintenance. You’ll avoid costly damage that could end up costing a lot more in the long run.
How frequently should you have your car serviced?
Many manufacturers schedule basic maintenance at 30,000 mile intervals. At 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles, certain items should be inspected and replaced as needed. Depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations and whether your vehicle uses standard or synthetic motor oil, you should change the engine oil more frequently, usually every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
What are the signs that my car needs to be serviced?
Tell your Tire Pros technician what’s wrong if your car isn’t performing as it should. A tune-up may be the answer if your car is sluggish, slow to accelerate, or has trouble starting. When your car starts acting up, tell your technician what you’re feeling and hearing. Of course, if the check engine light or the service engine soon light is illuminated, bring your car in as soon as possible for inspection and service. Cleaning or replacing spark plugs and plug wires, as well as the fuel filter, oxygen sensor, and PCV valve, are all included in tune-up services for modern cars with fuel injection, which are found in the majority of new cars on the market today.
How can I keep my car running smoothly?
Follow the service schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Take a look at the schedule for heavy-duty vehicles as well. Many people put a lot of wear and tear on their cars by doing things like driving their kids to school, commuting in congested areas, and towing trailers. Your vehicle will perform better, save you money on gas, and provide you with many miles of trouble-free driving.
