REGULAR OIL CHECKS AND CHANGES
You’ve heard it before: oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. Making sure that it’s in peak shape is critical, and that’s especially true with a pre-owned car. Checking and changing it on the regular is probably the most important task you can do. The general rule of thumb is to change it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, so it’s best to check your owner’s manual.
CHECK THE BELTS AND HOSES
While vehicles have come a long way, many engines and systems still operate on an intricate system of belts, pulleys, and hoses. Like anything, they’ll wear out. A regular check-up (and change, if needed) of these vital components will save you headaches down the road.
ALIGNING AND ROTATING TIRES
Your tires are the point of contact between you and the road. Ensuring that they’re properly inflated and in good shape is essential. Check your owner’s manual for the proper PSI level. However, checking that your tires are properly aligned – and rotated regularly – will ensure that they “wear” evenly, saving you money. The service department at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Quakertown, PA can handle this important task for you quickly and affordably.
CHECKING THE BRAKES
Your brakes are one important thing between you and a possible fender bender. Ensure that your brake pads and brake fluid are up to snuff by having an expert check them regularly.
YOUR TRANSMISSION
Transmissions have come a long way in recent years. They don’t need quite as much attention as in the past; in fact, many experts feel that every 50,000 miles is a good benchmark. However, neglect it, and you could find vital engine parts grinding against metal – which could result in an enormous bill. Have your transmission looked at a few times a year, just to be on the safe side.
Owning a pre-owned vehicle, like the great selections at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Quakertown, PA is a smart move. Keeping it in peak shape with regular service checks is smarter. Whatever you need, Peruzzi’s service department can help – with no appointment needed!
