What Does Fall Service Include?
Change Your Oil and Filter
Your motor oil is what keeps your engine performing the way it was engineered to. The oil is responsible for keeping the engine clean, lubricated, and cool on all your travels. That’s why we encourage you to check your owner’s manual for the recommended mileage and time intervals between oil changes. Your engine sucks in a lot of dirt, dust, and other debris as you drive around Aztec, which gets caught by the oil filter to ensure that your oil stays clean. However, if you wait too long to change your oil, the oil filter can get clogged, which then lets dirty oil circulate through your engine, causing engine wear and limiting the horsepower, torque, and fuel economy of your vehicle.
When the temperatures get lower, your motor oil starts to move slower, which further increases the issues that dirty oil can cause. That’s why we encourage you to visit our service center for a fall service appointment and we’ll change out your oil using the specific motor oil and filter suggested for your vehicle, allowing you to drive the many miles ahead around Bloomfield this fall and winter with confidence.
Check and Change Your Battery
It’s important as the winter gets colder around Bloomfield to check your battery and make sure that it’s performing as it should. Colder weather puts stress on your battery and makes it harder to achieve the chemical reaction that causes your vehicle to start. That’s why we encourage you to check your battery terminals and clean off any corrosion and also check the charge of your battery. We can clean and check your battery for you. If the charge is low and can’t be recharged, we have many replacement batteries here that we can put into any vehicle and help you drive confidently knowing that every time you turn the key or press the ignition button, your vehicle will start every time.
Change Your Lights
During the fall and winter, the days get shorter. That means that you’ll be driving more at night, which is why it’s so important to make sure that all your lights are working correctly. You can change your lights at home, but it can be difficult on a lot of vehicles to take the lights out and put a new bulb in. We welcome you to visit our service center and we’ll check all your lights for you and replace any bulbs in your headlights, taillights, indicators, foglights, and any interior lights to ensure that everything is working properly and you maintain the utmost visibility wherever you go.
