Buying a car is a significant financial investment, whether it is brand new or previously owned. There is no better way to protect that investment than prioritizing regular vehicle maintenance services, like the following, at a professional and reputable automotive repair shop:
The trained technicians at Rad Air help you stay on top of both sides of vehicle maintenance. The first is following the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner’s manual: If you follow this closely, you will avoid all major repairs that do not have to do with consumables like tires, brakes, and wiper blades that need to be regularly replaced. The second side is your personal driving habits. For example, how much do you drive? Where do you drive? Your habits will impact your vehicle’s maintenance needs.Â
This is why, when it comes to preventative vehicle maintenance, working with an experienced repair shop is key. This is often undervalued, but it is critical: The professionals at Rad Air have the knowledge, experience, and trained eye to identify issues with your vehicle early on when they can be more easily repaired. You may put off maintenance or ignore weird noises or performance issues thinking that they will be expensive to fix. The reality is that the longer you ignore or wait to address an issue, the more expensive the fix becomes. Being proactive with maintenance will save you money now and in the future.
Each time you bring your car in for a regular oil change or wheel alignment service, we are inspecting your vehicle, looking for signs of wear and tear on any components, corroded fluids, and other signs of an issue. We will recommend any services that should be done immediately or at your next visit so that you can plan, budget, and save, rather than be caught off guard. These recommendations are not to sell you services you don’t need—our goal is to help you prevent major, expensive repairs down the line. For example, when your vehicle reaches 75,000 miles, we recommend changing your transmission fluid, a service that typically costs between $200–250, depending on the vehicle. If you don’t get the service, once your vehicle reaches 100,000–150,000 miles, you may need the entire transmission rebuilt—which can cost upwards of $2,500. Would you rather pay for the transmission fluid service now or a total transmission rebuild later? It just makes sense to invest in preventative maintenance.
The team at Rad Air Fairlawn will help you protect the investment you made in your vehicle and stick to a regular preventative maintenance schedule.
