When did you last have your wheels checked? Visiting a car tire service to align your wheels at least once or twice annually and rotating them every 5000–8000 miles can be a game changer. Regular tire maintenance also allows other parts of your vehicle, such as the suspension system and springs, to perform more efficiently. Here’s why you need to make frequent visits to a tire car repair shop for tire rotation and alignment.

Car Tire Service Extends Wheel Life

Aligning your wheels prevents them from pulling to one side and experiencing friction. The mechanic adjusts the angle at which the rubber hits the road surface, allowing your vehicle to move in a straight manner. As a result, the rubbers last longer and save you the cost of buying new ones prematurely.

Rotating your wheels prevents uneven friction that would leave them unbalanced. If the rear wheels are in better condition than the front ones, damage may occur to your vehicle’s suspension system, due to vibration. Therefore, interchange the wheels often to improve the efficiency of the suspension system.

Car brakes are one of the most important elements of any vehicle. As a vehicle owner, one of the best things you can do to keep your vehicle safe is bring it in for car brake service. Brake services include several maintenance jobs, such as brake replacements, replenishing brake fluids and inspecting brake lines. Below are some key warning signs that it’s time to schedule some brake maintenance services.

1. Strange Noises

You shouldn’t hear any strange noises when you apply the brakes in your vehicle. If you hear a screeching or grinding noise, this could result from worn-down brake pads. Some manufacturers even design brake pads to emit a loud noise when worn down to alert drivers that it’s time for replacements. Roll down your windows and listen carefully for odd noises when applying the brakes.

Regular car oil changes keep an engine cool and reduce friction between its moving parts. CDJR oil change offers car oil and filter services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best and achieves peak gas mileage.

Why Are Oil Changes Important?

Oil plays a central role in maintaining your vehicle’s performance and longevity. It lubricates the insides of your engine to ensure all parts move freely and as they should. Without it, friction between your engine’s parts builds up, creating heat and pressure on the entire system. Also, oil breaks down over time, reducing its efficiency in doing its primary job, which not only affects your gas mileage but could lead to costly engine repairs.

Filters also help to remove dirt and debris from oil as it moves through your car’s engine. But they can only hold so much before that debris seeps into your engine, causing damage. If you want to keep your vehicle in good condition, regular oil and filter changes must be part of your maintenance schedule.
