When you aren't doing oil changes do the annual check up.
When your not of the mind to get your oil changed regularly or you simply don't drive much then getting your car inspected annually is a very good idea. While your their get your oil changed as well and when you do you can be sure the mechanics at Autoworks Specialists of Apple Valley will inspect all your fluids, top them off or recommend other needed services. It's important to mention that an annual check up that includes an oil change only applies to cars that use synthetic oil. Synthetic oils don't break down as quickly as petroleum based oils. If you are using petroleum based oils and don't drive very often we recommend you have your check up on a semi-annual basis (every 6 months).
This will help keep your car reliable, safe and efficient
As much as my family drives I couldn't possibly let my regular maintenance go for one year. I know people that drive 1,000 miles in a year, maybe. So we are all different and should do the maintenance we think is right for our cars. Your owners manual is a good place to start. If you are new to owning a car or new to performing regular maintenance your owners manual will get you started on the right foot. We are here to help so if you have questions please ask.
Clean fluids, top off, the proper tire pressure, an a/c system that blows cold air are all aspects of your car that make it reliable, safe and comfortable to drive. Not to mention efficient. Proper tire pressure, for example, not only prevents premature wear of your tires but also maximizes fuel economy. Saving you money each year by extending the life of your tires and getting you more miles to the gallon.
Peace of mind
Keeping your car in top working condition can give you the peace of mind knowing your vehicle is in good working order. Now, the important things in life like that family weekly trip to the movies or a bite to eat are more enjoyable. That trip to Grandmas across two states can be made with ease. Best of all you are in control of the next maintenance interval. If you like we'll even give you a call the day before your appointment just like your family doctor.
