Routine car maintenance is essential if you want to keep your car running smoothly. While you may be tempted to perform your own car maintenance, it is best to leave the care of your car in the hands of certified Cadillac technicians at Cable Dahmer Cadillac Topeka in Topeka, KS. Here are some of the essential services you can expect to find.
Alignment Check
One of the most important vehicle services is an alignment check. If your car is out of alignment for too long, your tires will wear faster and may wear unevenly. Additionally, driving can become uncomfortable as the steering wheel shakes and vibrates significantly.
Ed Bozarth Cadillac won’t just check your alignment. Your brakes, undercarriage, wheels, and suspension will also be checked. If your car has been misaligned for so long that your brakes, suspension, or other systems are in disrepair, we will advise you on the steps that must be taken to get your vehicle back in complete working order.
Oil Change
We also perform oil changes to protect the health of your motor. If you put off a routine oil change, you will first notice a decrease in fuel efficiency. However, this is only the first symptom of an unhealthy motor. If you continue putting off your oil change, the deposits of debris that aren’t trapped by the engine air filter will turn into sludge and impede the flow of the motor oil.
This means the motor oil can’t lubricate and protect the moving parts of your motor. At first, only a couple of moving parts will grind down and need to be replaced. If they don’t get replaced, eventually, your entire motor will fail and need to be rebuilt or replaced.
Engine Air Filter Installation
Putting off an engine air filter replacement can seriously damage your motor. At first, you only have to worry about a decrease in fuel efficiency. However, over time, your spark plugs will go bad. This can cause starting problems, motor misses, and rough idling.
Cabin Air Filter Installation
If you’ve noticed less air circulating throughout your cabin, or the air doesn’t smell as fresh as it used to, it may be time to replace your cabin air filter. This small air filter is usually located behind the glove box, but sometimes it’s hard to find. Additionally, it’s rarely easily accessible.
Typically, it is advisable to change your cabin air filter every 15,000 miles. However, you may only need to change your cabin air filter every 25 to 30,000 miles if you live in an area with good air quality and you rarely or never drive down dirt roads.
Routine vehicle maintenance is essential for keeping your car operating efficiently. Among the essential services you can expect are alignment checks, oil changes, engine air filter replacement, and cabin air filter replacement.
