A new car is an investment. With the average sale ticket for a brand-new vehicle close to $40,000, prioritizing preventative vehicle maintenance has never been more important. Some regular maintenance services include the following:
There are two sides to vehicle maintenance: The first is following the recommendations outlined in your owner’s manual. If you stick to the maintenance schedule, you will likely avoid all major repairs aside from consumables like tires or brakes, which are susceptible to wear and tear and will eventually need to be replaced. The second has to do with your unique driving habits—how often you drive, where you drive, and what conditions you drive in. The answers to these questions will impact your maintenance needs.
It is so critical to bring your vehicle to a professional automotive repair shop like Rad Air Wickliffe for maintenance. Our technicians are highly trained, skilled, and experienced, and can detect a potential problem at the earliest sign. We recommend never ignoring a weird noise, smell, or performance issue because of fear that the necessary repairs will be too expensive. Most issues that are identified early on can be easily remedied with an adjustment or lubrication. However, if issues are left unaddressed long enough, your car will become at risk of total failure—and more costly repairs.
Every time you bring your vehicle to Rad Air Wickliffe for service, we will inspect your vehicle. Our goal is to save you money by making sure you get the maintenance you need before a small issue becomes a major problem. For example, a regular brake fluid flush costs about $150 depending on your specific vehicle type. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture and can become acidic, eating away at your brake component. If it is not replaced, you will eventually need a total brake replacement service, which can cost $2,000 or more. Would you rather spend $150 on a brake fluid flush or $2,000 on new brakes? The math is simple: Preventative maintenance is worth it.
