Suggested Maintenance
Simple maintenance can help keep your car running for many trouble-free miles. From monthly visual inspections to comprehensive service checks, keeping an eye on everyday wear and tear can stop small problems from becoming expensive headaches. Below is a list of suggested maintenance schedules, but make sure you refer to your vehicle owner's manual and talk to us to help keep your vehicle in tip-top condition!
At 3,000 miles, it's important to take your vehicle to Crescent Tire & Auto to have your oil changed as well as your tire treads and air pressure checked. These very basic but very important steps are the cornerstone of good vehicle maintenance.
- Change engine oil & filter (up to 5 quarts)
- Check under-hood fluid levels
- Check wiper blades
- Check tread depth on all four tires
- Adjust tire pressure to manufacturer's specs
Rotating your tires means moving them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back or a combination of both. Regular tire rotation helps avoid uneven tire wear that can lead to poor performance and gas mileage.
