A Maintenance Overview

When you purchase a new car, you’ll find that the automaker has outlined a preventative maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual. It’s best practice to follow the recommended schedule for major mileage visits and have less extensive services, such as oil changes, performed in between. For drivers who put on extra kilometers or face extreme conditions, we can design a prevention plan just for you. Getting routine maintenance as needed is good for your automobile. It will help you preserve the integrity of the original warranty. One of the most important services is a regular oil change. Motor oil lubricates the moving internal engine components, absorbs some of the heat generated by combustion and friction, and suspends dirt and debris away from surfaces. As oil ages, it loses some of its protective properties. It can no longer function as well as it used to, and it may even combine with dirt to form sludge that chokes your engine. Changing the oil and filter regularly ensures a sufficient supply of clean lubricant. Fluid services are important, too. In addition to frequent checks and top-offs as needed, your car will likely need fluid changes or flushes from time to time. As the names suggest, a change simply drains and replaces fluid, while a flush removes all old fluid and debris before the refill. We also provide tire services, including rotation, balancing, and repairs. For these and other preventative maintenance services, make Traditions Auto Service your trusted shop.

The Savings Add Up

Although you spend a little money upfront to pay for preventative maintenance, the savings add up to your advantage in the long run. You’re likely to save a lot on fuel costs over time because your vehicle will operate more efficiently. Early intervention also typically saves your automobile from premature wear and unnecessary major repair bills. Preventive services also extend the life of your car. That keeps you from having to purchase a car sooner than planned and protects the resale value once you decide to find another vehicle. Let Traditions Auto Service help you keep your money in the bank with preventative maintenance for your transportation.
