Aside from your house or a recreational vehicle, your vehicle is one of your most expensive possessions. If you're trying to make sure that your car, truck, SUV, or van is always working optimally and is set up to stay running well for years to come, make sure that you're incorporating a few key types of vehicle maintenance into your routine. At Team Ford Lincoln in Denison, IA, we know how to keep your car running well, and our service techs at our dealership near Dunlap, IA can do the work for you.
Oil Changes
Getting your oil changed according to the manufacturer's recommendations is vital to maintaining the health of your vehicle. Your engine and exhaust system needs enough clean oil so that the components don't overheat or become clogged. Most newer vehicles only need an oil change every five months or even longer, but older vehicles often need to get oil changes every three months or three thousand miles. Check the owner's manual to learn more about your vehicle's time frame for oil changes and what kind of oil it needs. Otherwise, ask one of our auto techs near Mapleton, IA to look it up for you.
Tires
When you want your car to be safe on the road around Manning, IA, you need to have a set of tires on that are balanced and have a good amount of tread left on them. If the tires currently on your vehicle are worn out, you run a higher risk of hydroplaning on puddles and skidding even on dry roads. You're also more likely to have a blowout.
Brake Repairs and Replacement
Most often, you need to have your brake pads and rotors replaced after 30,000 or 40,000 miles. But you might also need to have your brake fluid replaced, or another part on your brake system could have a problem. Your brakes are your most important safety feature and taking care of a problem when it's small is better than waiting until you have an even more expensive problem.
