When the vehicle is inspected, one of the first things that should be looked at are the tires. This can help improve the mileage of your vehicle. If the tires are in poor condition, they will need more power and fuel to have them rotate efficiently. Also make sure the proper amount of air pressure is in the tires. This can help to ensure the tires rotate properly.

 

The tread on the tires will also have to be inspected. The tread helps to grip the surface of the road when you travel. Without proper tread, the vehicle will be more difficult to control and steer. If you notice an issue with how the vehicle handles, make sure to bring it in so we can inspect the tires. Also make sure to inspect the spare tire of the vehicle. Incase you have to use the spare tire, it should be in a condition that is ready to use. If the spare tire always needs to be filled with air, consider investing in a new one.

 

Also make sure to check the oil. The oil in the vehicle will have to be changed when recommended. This can help provide nice clean oil to the engine. The oil will help lubricate the moving parts in the engine. Without oil, moving parts will cause extra strain and stress to them. This will eventually cause the engine to seize up completely. When recommended, the oil filter should also be changed. The filter is designed to capture pollutants and contaminants that are in the oil. With time, this will become clogged and will no longer be efficient. If you notice that the vehicle is overdue for an oil change, or if the oil light comes on, make sure to bring the vehicle in as soon as you can.

 

The windshield wipers are also important for the vehicle. Without them, you will not be able to see when the windshield becomes dirty or it is raining out. The windshield wipers help to clear off any precipitation or road grime that might be on the windshield. If you notice any rips or tears on the wipers, make sure to have them replaced as soon as you can. If you are not sure if the windshield wipers are in good condition, bring the vehicle in and we can inspect them for you.
