Car Maintenance
We can’t say it enough; regular maintenance is the key to keeping your car running longer and getting the extra 50, 100, 150 thousand miles or more that your vehicle was designed for. At Tires Tires Tires, we’re experts at squeezing those extra miles out of your vehicle, and saving you money.
Are Your Brakes SCREAMING for Attention?
at Tires Tires Tires.
When you step on the brakes do you hear a grinding sound or a high-pitched squeal? It’s your brakes “screaming” for attention!
Car Maintenance Schedule
was designed to get.
Your owner’s manual has a list of regular maintenance items that need to be taken care of in order to get the most miles from your vehicle – the miles it was designed to get.
But what if you no longer have the owners manual? We have the solution.
Oil Changes
to look for possible problems.
Regular oil changes are the best maintenance you can do to squeeze more miles from your car. Your engine turns at thousands of times every minute and the oil is the only thing that keeps all those moving parts from grinding each other down.
Replace Air Filter
Your engine combines air and fuel, compresses it, and then sets off a spark to make an explosion inside the cylinder. Clean air is a must.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Check
One of the most mechanically complex components of your vehicle’s drive train is the automatic transmission. It converts the high revolutions of the engine into the more useful speeds needed at the wheel.
Power Steering Fluid
Steering your vehicle is a lot easier with power steering. One of the simple regular maintenance steps you should take is to check your power steering fluid levels.
Car Battery Maintenance
for corrosion on terminals.
The battery in your car, like most other parts, is vastly improved over just a few years ago. And today’s batteries are even labeled “no maintenance.” A dead car battery will definitely put a “stop” in your plan for the day, so it’s worthwhile paying attention to your battery.
Windshield Wiper Blade and Windshield Washer Fluid
Windshield wiper blade replacement is something simple and you could do it yourself if you want. The catch is to do it before you need them. Getting caught in a storm with windshield wipers that just smear your view isn’t just a hassle, it’s dangerous.
Replace Bulb
Making sure your lights all work is a safety issue that you shouldn’t trace for granted. If you can’t see or be seen when you’re driving at night, you’re putting your family at risk.
Auto Muffler and Exhaust
Many people don’t realize that the exhaust system on their vehicle plays an important part in the fuel mileage they get.
Change Antifreeze / Coolant
Your engine is a heat maker! Temperatures inside the engine would melt the metals used if it weren’t for your cooling system. Critical to that is the mixture of antifreeze and water that runs through your radiator.
Brake Maintenance
these will "grind."
The most important thing to do concerning your brakes is: listen. If you hear a grinding sound when you apply the brake, there’s a possibility you’re coming due for brake service.
Replace Fuel Filter
and are much less accessible.
Your fuel filter does just that, it filters dirt and particles out of your fuel. You might think that your gasoline is perfectly clean. But it’s been put into numerous tanks or pipelines before it gets to you and dust and debris find their way in.
Serpentine Belt - Replace
Many under-the-hood components like your alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering, and water pump all get their power from the engine by way of the serpentine belt – an extremely long belt that winds its way, like a serpent, around various pulleys at the front of the motor.
Timing Belt - Replace
The timing belt is a small cogged belt that keeps the internal workings of the engine in sync. The movement of the cylinders, valves and the timing of the spark plugs firing all have to work in precise harmony.
