Power Steering Fluid Service
Benefits of servicing your power steering fluid: Power steering fluid services remove the collected debris and contaminants from the system, which allows for smoother steering and keeps the components of the steering system working properly.
What happens if you don’t service your power steering fluid: If power steering maintenance is ignored, it will lead to a costly power steering pump repair. That’s why a power steering fluid service should be performed routinely, based on factory recommendations.
Brake Fluid Service (DOT 3 and DOT 4)
Why you must have your brake fluid serviced: Brake fluid absorbs and retains any moisture that finds its way into your brake system. It prevents corrosion and failure of internal brake system components. The general rule is to have a brake fluid service every two years.
What happens when you don’t maintain your brake fluid: If brake fluid maintenance is not performed routinely, it can cause safety issues such as taking your vehicle longer to stop, pumping your brakes to build pressure for a safe stop and complete brake failure while driving.
Transmission Fluid Service
Benefits of transmission fluid service: Routine transmission fluid services can prevent future transmission problems.
What happens when you don’t service your transmission fluids: When transmission fluid becomes dirty, it can no longer cool your transmission or provide power and lubrication. If your vehicle gets to the point of having no transmission fluid, the gears cannot spin, the car will not move, and it will cause costly damage.
Fuel Injection Service
Benefits of fuel injection service: This service removes deposits from the fuel injector and filters within an engine. It helps prevent excessive wear, makes the vehicle more reliable and reduces the risk on engine related breakdowns. It is better for the environment, as it helps removes contaminates that are pumped into the air.
What happens if you don’t routinely have your fuel injectors checked: If this service is not performed routinely based on factory recommendations, fuel injectors may get clogged and cause bad engine performance and lower fuel economy.
Spark Plugs & Ignition Wires
Benefits of having your spark plugs checked: Spark plug health is directly related to engine performance and sustaining maximum power and fuel economy. It also allows for a fully functioning combustion system and less harmful emissions.
What happens when you don’t have your spark plugs checked regularly: Spark plugs deteriorate over time and if they are not replaced, various engine issues will arise. Unstable idling or stalling, unresponsive acceleration and engine not running are a few specific issues. Please refer to your owner’s manual to review your scheduled maintenance.
Timing Belt & Water Pump
Benefits of having your timing belt and water pump checked: A timing belt is a component of the internal combustion engine. It improves power transmission efficiency, reduces noise, resists chemicals and contaminates, and helps with mechanical efficiency.
What happens when you don’t have your timing belt and water pump checked regularly: Knowing when to replace the timing belt is integral in preventing serious and costly vehicle damage. It can cause engine misfires, permanent engine damage or complete engine failure. It can also cause damage to your exhaust system. Timing belts are recommended to be changed every 60,000-100,000 miles. Please consult your owner’s manual for your specific recommendation.
Tune-Ups & Scheduled Maintenance
Benefits of tuneups and regular maintenance:
Each vehicle make and model has its own specific factory recommendations for tune-ups and scheduled maintenance. At David’s Auto Repair Service, we have the software to let each customer know what is due for their vehicle based on timing, mileage, and Carfax history. Keeping our customers informed and prepared for the future is part of our holistic approach to automotive repair.
The benefits of keeping up with maintenance on your vehicle includes saving money on future repairs, saving time, keeping all systems functioning properly and safely and keeping the cars value high.
What happens if your car is not regularly tuned up and maintained: The consequences of not keeping up with routine maintenance includes compromising safety, vehicle damage, low performance, shorter life span of the vehicle, low fuel economy and increased running costs.
Air & Cabin Filters
Benefits of having your air & cabin filters changed: Routinely changing your vehicles’ filters is often forgotten but holds a wide range of importance. Cabin air filters are the only thing that stands between you and the outside of the vehicle. The filter blocks you from smog, dirty exhaust from other vehicles and many other pollutions. It also maintains the efficiency of your air system by blocking debris, preventing engine strain and blocking allergens.
What happens when you don’t regularly have your air & cabin filters changed: Delay of routinely changing your cabin air filter can cause allergies to worsen, a poorly running HVAC system, foggy windows and foul odor.
Tire Rotation
How tire rotation benefits your car: Regular tire rotation helps maintain traction and preserve balance handling. Tire manufacturers often require regular tire rotations to maintain a valid warranty. It also helps to even out tire wear, which will make the tires last longer and in turn, save you money.
What happens when your tires aren’t regularly rotated: Skipping tire rotations can lead to ruining tires much before their expectancy. It can also be dangerous to the driver, causing the vehicle to wander and pull to the side and poor handling around curves.
Windshield Wipers
How new windshield wipers benefit your car: Routinely changing out your wiper blades for new ones allows the blades to remove debris, rain, and snow more effectively, which increases safety for the driver. It helps to maintain better visibility and protects your glass from scraping.
What happens as your windshield wipers grow older and aren’t replaced: Streaky windshields in rainy or snowy conditions can be dangerous for drivers, especially at night when other drivers headlights shine.
