Common Maintenance Options We Offer
We want to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly, so you’re not hitting the road with the windows down only to realize you need to pull over and cut your trip short because of an issue.
- Oil Change: Regular oil changes keep your engine well-lubricated and running efficiently. Depending on your car’s make and model, this should be done every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. If you are questioning if you need an oil change – we can take a look for you.
- Tire Maintenance: Make it a habit to check tire pressure regularly, rotate the tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, and replace them when they are worn out. You don’t want to find yourself stuck on the edge of the road with a flat tire!
- Brake Inspection: It’s essential to have your brakes checked and the brake fluid replaced when necessary. Worn brake pads or low fluid can lead to slow braking or difficulty stopping.
- Fluid Checks: Keeping essential fluids like coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid topped off is crucial for your vehicle’s overall performance.
- Battery Check: Regular battery inspections help prevent unexpected breakdowns. You don’t want to be in downtown Appleton after seeing a show only to find that your car won’t start because of a dead battery.
Common FAQs On Car Maintenance
How do I know if my tires need to be replaced?
Check for visible signs of wear, such as bald spots or cracks. You can also perform the “penny test” — insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, your tires have been worn down from some of our rough roads we have here in Wisconsin – or maybe from some of the road construction areas.
What is a transmission, and when should it be serviced?
The transmission is responsible for transferring power from your engine to the wheels, allowing you to change gears and control your speed. Regular maintenance, including fluid checks and changes, is crucial for smooth operation. Depending on your vehicle, it’s typically recommended to service your transmission every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to avoid potential issues like slipping gears or complete failure. Our technicians are here to help if you’re in the Appleton area.
How can I improve my car’s fuel efficiency?
Regular maintenance like keeping your tires properly inflated, changing your air filter, and using the recommended grade of motor oil can help improve fuel efficiency. You’ll also want to avoid aggressive driving and reduce the amount of time you just sit and idle. Just enjoy being behind the wheel!
Why is my car overheating?
Overheating can be caused by a variety of issues, including low coolant level, a faulty thermostat, or a radiator leak. If your car starts to overheat, pull over and turn off the engine to prevent further damage. If you are in the Appleton area, give us a call to help you out.
