CAR SERVICING
Regular servicing prolongs the life of mechanical components, helps to maintain roadworthiness and contributes to greater reliability, economy and resale value.
Without regular servicing you increase the potential of breakdowns and expensive repairs. Refer to your owner's manual for maintenance information specific to your car. You should service your new car as often as is outlined in your owner's manual.
For older cars, you need to have at least an oil and filter change every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. All cars have different service requirements but a service should at least contain:
-
engine oil change,
-
and engine oil filter replacement,and
-
a safety check.
A safety check would include operation of lights, condition of tyres and exhaust and operation of brakes and steering. It's a good idea to wash your car often, polish it at least twice a year and vacuum it as required.
Avoid parking under trees (especially ones with birds) or in industrial areas, which may contain heavy fallout. To avoid paint damage, foreign matter such as bird droppings should be cleaned off immediately.
Today’s vehicles are some of the most technologically advanced machines ever produced. Even an oil change isn’t as basic as it used to be. Our expert Service technicians know their stuff and have the right parts to help make sure the job gets done right.
STEERING & SUSPENSION
Common Steering & Suspension Repairs,
Steering stability and handling are heavily reliant on the performance of your suspension components. Routine maintenance, front end alignment service and inspections will keep your ride smooth and ensure that everything is working in top condition. The minor costs for these preventative measures will prevent larger, more expensive cures later.
Steering Service & Maintenance
You turn your steering wheel. your car turns as a result. Seems simple, but a lot happens between your steering wheel and your car’s tires. This complex system relies on a number of precise processes in order to function properly. Nearly all vehicles today come with power steering, and if this this system fails, it quickly becomes a safety issue. When you get your suspension checked Reliable Auto technicians will inspect the steering as well.
Stabilizer Bar Service & Maintenance
Known as a sway bar, the stabilizer bar is responsible for keeping your car from rolling in a turn. Put simply, it is the unsung hero of your car’s suspension. While the shock absorber keeps the ride smooth, the stabilizer bar keeps the car upright when it is turning by spreading weight equally over the tires.
Steering and suspension is an intricate system, so it’s important to have work done by a mechanic who knows what they are doing. It is a significant part of your ride experience, but it is also integral to your vehicle’s safety. Keep up with regular maintenance and inspections, if there is a problem, address it right away.
