PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Car Care Aware

Courtesy of the Automotive Service Association

The following simple and inexpensive preventive checks will greatly extend the life of the vehicle, ensure safer operation and even benefit the environment.

Always consult your owner's manual for individual service schedules because maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer.

  • Always consult your owner's manual, but a good rule of thumb is to have the oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
  • Have all fluids checked, including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle.
  • Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month.
  • Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
  • Have the chassis lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension system.
  • Check battery cables and posts for corrosion and clean them as needed. The battery fluid also should be checked and filled if it is low, unless it is a maintenance-free battery.
  • Have the lighting system checked frequently, including headlights, turn signals, and brake and taillights.
  • Check windshield washer blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year, or sooner if streaking begins.
  • Inspect engine belts regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments.
  • Have the air filtration system checked frequently. The air filter should be checked every other oil change for clogging or damage. This system ensures that the vehicle is performing at its peak condition.

    Excellent service. My first time. I will return.

    Had my 2002 Thunderbird here for a complete A/C replacement. The time it took to complete the job was just one day longer than first scheduled. However, it was not their fault. The replacement parts were defective, because they did not preform to the standards they required. Even so, it was only one day longer than first planned. Joe was very professional and apologized several times for the delay. I highly recommend this X-Pert Automotive store.

    I brought my Miata in for an AC charge. They were prompt and kept me up to date with the service. I decided to have X-Pert do my maintenance instead of going back to the dealer for this service as I have always done.

    Thank you so much to the staff at X-Pert Automotive. My battery died and I was able to jump start it but didn't have a lot of charge to make it to the dealer where I normally have my car serviced. I contacted X-Pert Automotive and they told me they would work me in during appointments. I was able to make it to the shop and waited just over an hour to get the battery replaced. Everyone I spoke with was courteous and professional and I plan to come back now that I've found them!

    This was our first time to X-Pert Automotive. I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from everyone that works here. They are all very professional. They kept me posted on what repairs were needed, how long it would take and the cost. And I can now say Goodbye to all the rattling in the back of my car. Plus, their waiting room is clean and comfortable. We will definitely be going back for all our automotive needs.
