There are a few ways that you can make sure your car stays in tip-top shape as long as you own it. A vehicle can last for several years with the correct care and maintenance being performed on it. There are also things inside the vehicle that should be checked so that all of the passengers inside it can be safe from any harm that may occur on a trip. You can perform the maintenance inspection or preventative measures or bring the vehicle in and we can inspect it. If there is an issue with the vehicle, we can bring it to your attention so that the issue can be resolved. This can help to save you time, money, and stress in the long run. If the brake pads start to wear down it will begin having friction with the brake rotors. This could result in a costly repair bill if you choose to ignore the issue.

Check the Brakes

The brake pads wear down over time and need to be replaced. If you hear any screeching or grinding noises, make sure to bring the vehicle in as soon as possible. We can inspect the brake system for you for any signs of parts that need to be repaired or replaced. Checking the brake system can help to improve the safety when you drive.

The Seat Belts should be operational

Seat belts are what keep you safely in a vehicle as it drives. Every seatbelt in the car should pull out and clamp in to a holder. Children in the backseat might also need a restraint seat. Making sure that the seat belts can work properly will improve the safety of everyone in the vehicle when you drive.

The Tire Pressure should be Checked

Incorrect air pressure can lead to a lot of problems. When tires do not have the right pressure in them, they can wear faster or unevenly. Tires that do not have proper tread in places can lose control in slippery conditions and cause you to be in an accident. Keeping your tires at the proper pressure can make them last longer and prevent you from being in an accident. Checking the tires on a regular basis can help improve the traction and comfort level when you drive.

Top off the Fluids

Another important part to inspect in the vehicle is the fluid levels. This is important because the fluids all have a specific part they help to lubricate. If the fluid is down, it could increase the chance that an issue occurs with parts of your vehicle. When you get your oil changed or even during a yearly maintenance check, the fluids in the vehicle should be checked over as well. There is transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, anti-freeze, and even the oil that needs to be checked regularly. If the fluid is bad or low, it can be replaced so no long term damage happens to the components of your vehicle.
