The Importance of Preventive Maintenance
Optimizes performance of all systems
Ensures easier starting
Improves fuel efficiency
Increases vehicle life
Provides a more enjoyable driving experience
If your vehicle starts and runs smoothly, you probably tend to delay doing any work on it. However, your vehicle does need a yearly tune-up which involves more than changing the engine oil.

A properly maintained vehicle will run more efficiently, be safer, more cost-effective, and will last longer. A regular preventive maintenance inspection is the best way to help you save money on repairs.

Warning Signs of a Defective Part
Engine cranks poorly or not at all during cold starts
Engine cranks but takes too much time to start
Black smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe
Increased fuel consumption
Poor acceleration and overall performance
Preventive maintenance significantly helps in reducing your operating costs and increasing the life of your vehicle.

    Parts to be inspected or replaced
    Suggested Preventive Maintenance*

    Among other things, your technician will replace the engine oil and filter, inspect the battery, clean and tighten its cables. While inspecting your brakes, he will lubricate the caliper slides. He will make sure that the air filter, vacuum and coolant hoses, spark plugs, charging system, starter draw, coolant level, drive belts and timing belt, headlamps, taillights, and lift supports (for trunk, hatch and sometimes hood) are in good condition. He will also clean the fuel injector and replace the fuel filter.
