Common Automotive Tune-Ups and Factory Scheduled Maintenance Requirements
- Battery Testing and Maintenance: Inspecting your battery’s charge levels and checking its terminals for corrosion helps ensure there are no connection issues. A properly functioning battery allows for smooth engine startups and supports the efficient operation of other electrical components. If you are experiencing unexpected breakdowns, difficulty starting your car, or issues with electrical components, your battery should be tested. Visit any of our garages in Lewisville or Argyle to have your battery inspected and fixed.
- Brake System Inspection: Your vehicle’s brakes are one of its most important safety components, playing a critical role in both stopping power and overall handling. If you hear squealing or grinding noises while braking, feel a spongy brake pedal, or notice an increase in stopping distance, your brakes should be inspected immediately. Contact us at any of our garages in McKinney or Cross Roads for a professional brake diagnosis and repair.
- Filter and Oil Changes: Replacing your engine oil and oil filter is a key maintenance task that removes contaminants and ensures proper engine lubrication. It’s essential to change the oil and filter according to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to avoid potential engine complications. Visit a certified auto repair shop to have your oil and filter changed as soon as needed.
