Regular Maintenance Tasks
It's worth arranging your busy schedule to make time to bring your
Acura in for these vital regular maintenance visits. Not only are they
typically quick visits, but they can also ensure your Acura stays on the road
for years to come.
Oil changes are the basis of good engine care, and we cannot overstate
their importance. Your Acura car or SUV's high-performance engine most likely
requires synthetic oil and can go 5,000 or more miles between
changes.
Tire care entails rotations, pressure checks, alignments, and tread
inspections. If you don't skimp on these tasks, you'll get the most out of your
tire investment. Additionally, regular engine inspections will help your
technician catch potential problems before they have a chance to impact
performance.
Occasional Maintenance Tasks
You can drive around Carson City for years without needing to have
certain maintenance done, but when it comes time for these tasks, procrastinating
can cause expensive damage. It's a good idea to have these maintenance tasks
completed as soon as the manufacturer recommends.
Timing and serpentine belt changes happen every 50,000 to 75,000
miles, depending on the design of the belt. They're both integral to multiple
engine systems, and putting their maintenance off can cause catastrophic damage
if they fail.
Your struts and shocks can perform admirably for tens of thousands of
miles, but to keep performance smooth over the life of your car, regular
inspections and repairs are necessary.
Even the highest quality fluids can break down over time. Replacing
coolant, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and other necessary
lubricants will maintain high performance and help to ward off excess damage
over time.
Spark plugs keep your engine ready when needed, so replacing and
inspecting them is a vital long-term maintenance task. Our service shop near
Tahoe can help install new spark plugs on your Acura vehicle.
Your vehicle needs a functioning differential to manage the torque as
it passes from the engine to the tires. It also needs lubricant to perform as
expected, so your technician can check and adjust the fluid level when you
visit our Acura service
center near Truckee.
Seasonal Maintenance
No matter how mild the weather is, it can still affect your vehicle
when the seasons change and make different demands on your car's performance.
One of the most helpful things you can do during seasonal changes is to ensure
your tires have the proper tread to handle any inclement weather conditions.
The heat and cold uniquely affect rubber, making inspections of windshield
wipers, belts, hoses, and other components another vital seasonal task. Topping
up the many liquids that keep your engine systems functioning correctly will
help avoid overheating or other drops in performance.
