No matter what kind of vehicle you drive, you want to ensure it has a long life ahead of it. When you visit our service center, we'll make sure to give your used vehicle three specific service tasks that will keep it running for years to come.
Oil Changes
Perhaps the best way to make sure your used car stays in great health is with regular oil changes. Oil lubricates the moving parts in your engine and also keeps out dirt and other harmful particles.
Old oil becomes thick and dirty, thus impeding engine performance. Plus, because this causes an engine to have to work harder, it reduces gas mileage. The oil should be changed every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or about every six months.
Battery Checks
Now that things are getting chillier in Glenview, you need to be sure that your car will be able to hold up well no matter how cold it gets. This is why having your battery checked is essential.
You need to know how much charge your battery has left and if you can rely on it. Batteries generally only last about five years before they need to be replaced, and it is a good idea to have them checked annually.
Brake Inspections
Clearly, your brakes play a hugely important role when you’re out on the road. This is why the entire system should be looked at thoroughly every year. If your brake pads or shoes are wearing down, they can be replaced preventatively, which will improve both safety and performance.
If your car needs any of these maintenance tasks or others, you can get them from our service center at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview. Contact us today to make an appointment.
