Modern vehicles are marvels of engineering, electronics and design, yet there are simple ways to extend vehicle life and improve your ownership experience – and none of them are complicated nor do they require sophisticated equipment.
At South Denver Automotive we recommend:
- Regular Oil Changes:
Oil changes are vital for your vehicle – they not only extend engine life, but they also give us an opportunity to spot developing problems and to nip them in the bud.
- Tire Rotation:
It’s such a simple thing, yet rotating tires improves handling and ride comfort, and extends tire life as well. If you have bought tires recently, you know that savings can be significant. So if your vehicle has not had tire rotation within the last 6 months, mention this during your next service visit.
- Fluids Checks:
Regular fluid checks are vital to the well-being of your vehicle. At South Denver Automotive we can check and top off fluids as needed. Coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, transmission fluid – they all need periodic checks to ensure optimal performance, and to correct any leaks. Transmission fluid and brake fluid need periodic replacement.
- Regular Air Filter Change:
Both engine air filter and cabin air filter should be replaced at intervals specified by the manufacturer. Just like humans, your vehicle’s engine needs clean air to function optimally.
- Regularly Checking Tire Pressure:
Tires should be inflated to manufacturer’s specification – this enhances handling and ride comfort, lessens tire wear, and improves fuel economy.
- Mellow Driving Habits:
We recommend avoiding excessive idling, rapid acceleration, and hard braking. Doing so will minimize long term wear-and-tear on your vehicle, and will save you money on fuel and tire replacement.
- Timely Maintenance and Repairs:
Unusual noises or warning lights alert you that something is not right with your vehicle. Let our nationally ASE-certified technicians figure out what’s wrong and get it fixed. Addressing minor issues in a timely manner keeps them from turning into major problems.
At South Denver Automotive we are committed to providing you with friendly service and keeping your vehicle reliable and on the road – call us with any questions you may have.
