• Get regular oil changes. Oil changes are one of the most important things you can do to keep your car running smoothly. Most manufacturers recommend getting an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles, but you can check your owner’s manual for the specific recommendation for your car.
• Check your tires. Tires should be checked regularly for wear and tear. If you see any cracks or bulges, it’s time to replace them. You should also check the tire pressure regularly and inflate them to the correct level. Contact one of our tire shops today.
• Get tune-ups. Tune-ups are also important for keeping your car running properly. Most manufacturers recommend getting a tune-up every 30,000-50,000 miles, but you can check your owner’s manual for the specific recommendation for your car.
