Filter Tips for Your Vehicle

Filters are vital to the overall performance of your vehicle. Regular maintenance of your vehicle’s filters is also the key to keeping your vehicle on the road and not broken down on the side of the road. The following is a breakdown of essential filters and their corresponding maintenance tips.

Holiday Trip Checklist

The Holidays are upon us. The Holidays are a time for family, friends, and fun, which also means an increase in travel. Before you start any Holiday road trip, even a short one, follow this 10 minute vehicle checkup guide to make sure your vehicle is ready to tackle the road. There is nothing worse than running into car problems during the holidays.

Importance of Your Oil and Oil Filter

Did you know that keeping your oil clean is the most vital step you can take in order to keep your engine healthy? In addition to changing your oil and oil filter regularly, it is important to check your oil level with the dipstick every time you fill up with gas. Driving your vehicle when the oil level is low deprives your engine of the critical lubrication it needs and can cause severe engine problems. Make sure to keep your oil level full to maximize the life of your vehicle.

Hose Maintenance Tips

It does not matter if you have a car, a truck, a van, or an SUV, they are all finely tuned machines. In order to keep them running properly, they require regular vehicle maintenance, repairs from time-to-time, and just regular day-to-day upkeep. Here’s another vehicle tip to help you keep your car running on the road, and not broken down on the side of the road. Avoid the hose hassle.

Fall Wiper Blade Maintenance

The long, hot days of summer have probably done a number on your wiper blades. Fall is the perfect time to inspect your wiper blades and make sure they are ready for the upcoming months.

Just go ahead and take a peek at the blades. Visually inspect for any cracking. You can also feel if they are getting tacky or if they are losing their edge. Even in the car, you can tell if they are not working properly anymore. If any of these conditions are true, make sure to get them replaced. You don’t want to get caught out in bad weather with bad wipers. Take some time now and make sure they are up to the task.

Vital Fall Maintenance Tips

The summer is over, the kids are back in school, and the evenings are getting colder and colder. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of a change in seasons and prepare your vehicle for the rest of fall and the upcoming winter season.

Cleaning Your Fuel System

The end of summer is the perfect time to give your fuel system a little extra care. The excess heat and extra driving time during the summer combine to put extra stress on your system. Combine that with the fact that the quality of gas in the summer decreases and all of these summer time factors lead to a dirty fuel system. But, don’t worry, a clean fuel system is just one step away.
