Don't forget the basics!

Time flies! And that can mean missed basic auto checks. Simple to do, and vital to the health of your vehicle, but it's all too common to forget about your car's needs.

One of the top missed basics is fluid levels and conditions. Engine oil; coolant; transmission, power steering, brake and washer fluids all need to be maintained at the proper levels. If any of these fluids are dirty or worn out they need to be changed.

Tire air pressure is another missed auto maintanance. Correct air pressure is important for safety and gas mileage, and can prevent damage or premature wear of your tires. Many cars now days have tire sensors so when your car's computer tells you there's a tire air pressure problem don't delay what is likely a simple fix: adding air!

Batteries don't always give warning signs before they fail so check the date on your battery. It is wise to replace a battery that is more than 3 years old. Regular maintanance includes cleaning the battery terminals of any corrosion. Periodically have your battery and charging system checked for optimum performance.

It's easy to put off basic car checks, but it's necessary for making sure everything is working correctly. If time is running short, please stop in and have one of our pros check your vehicle for you - it will save you the hassle of being stranded and an expense that might have been prevented!
