Oil change and filter replacement: This is the most crucial routine maintenance service, typically recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or as specified in your owner’s manual. It ensures clean oil lubricates your engine, preventing wear and tear.
Tire rotation and pressure check: Regularly rotating your tires helps them wear evenly, maximizing their lifespan and ensuring optimal handling. Maintaining proper tire pressure improves fuel efficiency and safety.
Wiper blade replacement: Worn-out wiper blades can streak and leave poor visibility, especially during rain or snow. Replace them at least once a year, or when they show signs of wear.
Fluid level checks: Check brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid levels regularly. Top them up if necessary, and consult a mechanic if you notice any leaks.
Battery check: Have your car’s battery tested periodically, especially before winter. A weak battery can leave you stranded, so replace it preemptively if needed.
Air filter replacement: A clean air filter ensures your engine gets the clean air it needs for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Replace it as recommended in your owner’s manual, typically every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.
