Preventative maintenance is the "secret" to a long automobile life!  If you only take your vehicle to be repaired, and not for upkeep, you are losing quality auto life!  Most customers, due to lack of realizing the importance, are REACTIVE instead of PROACTIVE regarding their cars, trucks, SUV's, etc.

 

Most newer model import and domestic vehicles have service manuals and numerous lights "bells & whistles".  These will appear on the dash when maintenance or an issue needs to be addressed.  IGNORING the lights are common mistakes that auto owner's make.  The mentality, if it doesn't sound bad or ride rough, will eventually be detrimental to your vehicle's life!

 

The following are a few tips Howell's Automotive highly recommends:

1-Regularly check your automobile fluids!  Oil, coolant and transmission fluids are a few that need to be maintained for optimal performance.

2-Regularly have your oil changed!  Think of it this way---as blood flows through our bodies, oil is the "blood" of your engine!  Some vehicles require synthetic oil while others allow conventional oil.  If you are unsure, we can assist you with a quality oil change, that is best for your vehicle.

3-Regularly check your tire pressure!  Air pressure limits are vital to the life of your tires!  Too little, as well as too much air pressure, can wear your tires out at an accelerated rate.  Also, having your tires rotated on a regular basis, assists with a more even tire wear and tire life.  Howell's offers free tire rotations with tire purchase!
