What Should Be Done?
Oil Changes
Routine oil changes are recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to ensure well-lubricated engine parts and heat absorption. While your car, truck, or SUV is in our shop, we'll replace the filters, drain the old oil, and replace it with fresh new oil. Our mechanics will help you choose which oil is best for your vehicle.
Tire Rotation
While your oil is being changed, you might want to consider having your tires rotated. When the position of the tires is routinely changed, you end up with more even wear, which leads to better overall performance. The type of tires you have on your vehicle will determine the tire rotation pattern. Murray Automotive's certified technicians will know just what to do.
Brake Care
It's probably safe to say that everyone counts on their brakes more than any other car part, so be sure to have them inspected and serviced regularly. Once inspected, if deterioration is present, the brake pads and brake disks will need to be replaced, and fluid will likely be topped off. The brakes will be cleaned and tested to ensure your vehicle is safe.
Fluid Check
Engine oil is not the only fluid in your vehicle. Other important fluids that should be checked are transmission fluid, coolant, windshield wiper fluid, brake fluid, and power-steering fluid. They may all be in tip-top shape, but that's what preventative care is all about, reducing the chances of needing major repairs by staying ahead in the game.
Why It’s Important
Staying in shape is vital to our existence and longevity. That theory can be applied to more than the human body. Any system that is responsible for performing functions should undergo preventative care to keep it from breaking down. Heating and air conditioning units, major appliances, and man's best friend all benefit from regular upkeep and care. With the potential risks vehicle's pose, it's safe to say that they should be at the top of the list for receiving routine maintenance.
