Preventive Maintenance

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect. The following simple and inexpensive preventive checks will greatly extend the life of the vehicle, ensure safer operation and even benefit the environment.

Always consult your owner's manual for individual service schedules because maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer:

  • Always consult your owner's manual, but a good rule of thumb is to have the oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
  • Have all fluids checked, including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle.
  • Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month.
  • Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
  • Have the chassis lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension system.
  • Check battery cables and posts for corrosion and clean them as needed. The battery fluid also should be checked and filled if it is low, unless it is a maintenance-free battery.
  • Have the lighting system checked frequently, including headlights, turn signals, and brake and taillights.
  • Check windshield washer blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year, or sooner if streaking begins.
  • Inspect engine belts regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments.
  • Have the air filtration system checked frequently. The air filter should be checked every other oil change for clogging or damage. This system ensures that the vehicle is performing at its peak condition.

Scheduled Maintenance 30k 60k 90k

Benefits - Your car requires certain adjustments, services, and repairs at regular intervals. Not doing these maintenance can void your warranty as well as cause damage and premature wear to components

Eagle Automotive can perform these services at a much lower cost than the dealer with better quality.

Timing Belts

Benefits - Many of today's cars have timing belts. These belts keep the cam in time with the crankshaft. If these belts are not replaced at scheduled intervals they become a time bomb. If a timing belt breaks it can cause serious damage to your motor and often times triple the cost of repairs!

Oil Changes

Benefits - Today's vehicles should have the oil changed every 3000 miles. Some manufacturers extend these time frames for non-severe service vehicles. Severe service includes stop and go driving, use of the air conditioner, colds starts. Nearly everyone's vehicle meets these criteria. Oil breaks down and oxidizes at a certain rate, changing your oil every 3000 miles will prevent damage to your motor and greatly extend it's life as well as avoid breakdowns.

Brakes

Benefits - Some brake specialty shops offer low cost brake jobs and then get your car in and run up the price. These shops use inferior parts as well as rip you off to make their money.
