The best way to keep your vehicle running smoothly is to make sure that it is routinely maintained and repaired. From having your oil changed frequently and having your tires rotated or aligned when needed to making sure a repair is fixed promptly, there are a lot of ways that your vehicle could need auto service and that comes with a lot of questions.
Here are some of our most frequently asked service questions.
- When should I get my oil changed? - Most vehicles these days have a "change engine oil" warning that will pop up on the infotainment screen. If you don't have a warning system, you will want to check your oil every six-months or 5,000-miles.
- Why do I need to rotate my tires? - Even though we drive on all four tires, not all four tires wear evenly. Depending on how you drive and whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, certain tires will wear before the others. This means that you should rotate them to allow for even wear.
- When should I have my brakes checked? - If you have noticed one of these red flags, then you will need to schedule a brake inspection. The red flags are: shuddering, acidic smell, spongy brakes, brake light, or squealing noise when the brakes are pressed.
These are among the top of the most asked service questions, although there are many others that our service representatives would love to answer.
