Top 5 Most Common Car Maintenance Services

posted on 8/18/2022 12:42:47 PM
When you become a vehicle owner, one of the most essential parts of this journey to ensure road safety is maintaining your vehicle. By owning a car, you take on a lot of responsibilities, starting with always remembering to give it timely maintenance and servicing. Ignoring car maintenance will increase the risk of mechanical failure and costly repairs. Car, Truck and SUV Repair Service
 
For routine car maintenance services, seek assistance from a certified and licensed auto repair shop. Keeping up with vehicle maintenance services will cost much less than an expensive auto repair. Your car needs preventative care to keep it running smoothly. Here are the top five car maintenance services all vehicles need. 
 

Oil and Filter Changes

An oil change is the most crucial service for your vehicle. Your car's oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. This service will involve draining the old oil and replacing it with new, clean oil and a new oil filter. Scheduling an oil change service at your local auto repair center will help keep your vehicle adequately lubricated and running at its best.
 

Tire Rotation

Routine tire rotation service will help spread tire wear evenly across all four of your tires. This will ensure maximum tread life and consistent traction across each tire's contact patch. Tires need to be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
 

Brake Service

Your car's brakes ensure you can slow down effectively or come to a stop. Brake services includes changing the brake fluid, replacing brake pads as needed, and getting other brake repairs done when necessary. These services will ensure proper stopping ability and car safety. 
 

Transmission Service

Your vehicle needs a transmission system to move the power from the engine to the wheels. Transmission service includes flushing out the old transmission fluid and replacing it with new, clean fluid. 
 

Air Filter Replacement

The air filters keep dust and debris from entering your engine. Not replacing the filter can significantly shorten your engine's lifespan. It is recommended to change your air filter every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. 
 
Contact the experts at your trusted local auto mechanic shop when you need to have any car maintenance service performed. Also be sure to always reference your vehicle’s manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Having your car serviced regularly can prevent breakdowns and extensive damages and potentially increase the longevity of your vehicle.
