- Keep the Exterior Clean
–Keep the exterior clean by washing and waxing on a regular basis. Ensuring all dirt, sand, salt etc. is off your vehicle protects the clear coat finish from harsh weather conditions. A good tip is to wax at least twice a year in order to protect your exterior from the harsh summer heat and the winter storms. Most importantly be sure to spray the underneath of your vehicle. Mud and Salt are leading causes for rust.
- Keep up with Scheduled Maintenance
–If you do not change your oil after the scheduled time (depending on miles or timeline) your vehicle will still run, but at what possible cost? Getting a regular oil change costs a lot less than replacing an engine. To keep it at its peak performance ask our service department about checking other fluids including: coolant, transmission, brake etc.

- Allow your vehicles engine to warm up
–You may think that you will need minutes for this to take place, but in reality you only need about 30 seconds once you turn the vehicle on to allow the engine and oil to warm up.
- Do not drive on low tire pressure.
–Low tire pressure is something that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later. Driving on low tire pressure diminishes the life of your tires and can also affect your rims if it is too low. Tires are essential, treat them as so.
