How to keep your vehicle in the best shape

Tune ups: We recommend using the manufacturers recommendation for this. Oftentimes it is 30, 60, or 100k miles. Getting this done can help you abreast of any developing issues so you aren’t stranded.

Get your brakes inspected every 30,000 miles or if you notice any differences in the braking.

Suspension should be inspection yearly or every year, whichever comes first.

Fluids should be flushed every 30-60,000 miles, depending on the manufacturers specifications.

Oil Changes need to be done between 3-5000 miles. It is not recommended to go beyond this, and it is important to check your oil levels regularly in between changes.

Air Filters should be changed every 12-15000 miles or after you have had wildfires in your area or been through a dust storm.

Tire Rotation: this should happen every 5-7,000 miles, more frequently if your vehicle or tire warranty recommends it. When you are rotating your tires it is a good idea to check your tread. If your tread is 4/32nd of an inch, it is time to replace your tires.

It is important to check with your vehicle manufacturers suggestion for your car or trucks care.
