Key Maintenance Services We Offer

  • Oil and Filter Changes: Another task that should be conducted frequently is the changing of oil in the engine because it helps in the lubrication of the engine and also in the removal of debris. Our technicians will recommend the frequency of changing your oil and filter depending on your car’s model so you can get the most efficient performance.
  • Brake Inspections: Brakes are probably one of the most important safety features in your car. During routine checkups, we check brake pads, rotors, and fluids to determine if they are in good condition or not. Any sign of tear and wear is well dealt with to avert any complications that may arise.
  • Fluid Top-Ups and Replacements: Transmission fluid, coolant, and other fluids must be in their right proportions to ensure the smooth performance of your car. Our experts can help you keep an eye on the level and condition of these fluids to determine if they’re due for a change or just need to be topped up.
  • Tire Rotation and Balancing: Tire rotation is done to stop the wearing of your tires, increase the tires’ longevity, and enhance the comfort of the ride. Our team ensures that your tires are balanced and aligned to improve on the handling as well as fuel consumption.
  • Battery Check and Replacement: The battery is a very important component of a vehicle because it helps in starting the vehicle and supplying power to electrical components in the car. We also test the voltage of your battery and its general condition and will replace it if there is a high possibility it will break down soon.
  • Filter Replacements: The air, fuel, and cabin filters have to be replaced at certain intervals to ensure that the air and the fuel supplied to the engine are well-filtered and to ensure that the cabin is comfortable for passengers. We can clean the filters and get them back to work as they should.
  • Belt and Hose Inspections: Malfunctioning belts and hoses should be replaced because if they are worn they can cause major issues. As part of the routine service, we examine all the belts and hoses and replace them even if they show the slightest symptoms of failure.

Aside from these parts, we also work on several other components and systems when you bring your vehicle to us for maintenance.

FAQs for Scheduled Maintenance

When should I get scheduled maintenance?

What are the consequences of not performing regular maintenance at the scheduled time?
Failure to maintain your car means that its parts will deteriorate faster, and you will experience frequent breakdowns, poor fuel consumption, and expensive repair bills. Maintenance helps in keeping your vehicle safe and efficient to use at all times.
Is it necessary to have regular car maintenance even if I do not use my car frequently?
Yes, it is important to note that even if you do not drive your car often, the fluids, belts and other parts of your car wear out with time. This means that one has to adhere to the recommended service intervals so your car will be reliable whenever you want to use it.
Is it possible to carry out routine maintenance on my own?
Some tasks such as checking the fluid levels can be done at home, however, tasks such as brake inspection, tire rotation, and engine tuning among others should be done by a professional for the best results and safety.
