PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

 

Each car manual has a suggested maintenance schedule. Referring to this schedule will help guide decisions on your best course of action for your specific vehicle. Though the suggested maintenance schedule is a good starting point, there are two other main factors when it comes to maintenance: 

 

• Driving styles

• Climate

 

Using your car's specific maintenance schedule in addition to a thorough inspection of your vehicle by our trusted mechanics and technicians, as well as your driving habits will help you pinpoint a more accurate maintenance plan for your vehicle.

OIL CHANGE

A regular oil change helps your engine run smooth and should be done every 3,000 miles, at a minimum depending on the oil your car takes. Routine oil changes are a necessary, and very cost-effective, way to ensure your vehicle's engine is lubricated, cooled and reduces the friction caused by normal use. Getting regular oil changes is a small price to pay to avoid expensive engine repairs. ​

FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING

Honest1 mechanics and technicians will replace your fuel filter and remove buildup on your car’s fuel lines and injectors. Regularly cleaning your fuel system helps prevent low gas mileage, keeps your car running smooth, and avoids a costly catalytic converter replacement. 

 

TUNE-UP

A car tune-up is a type of preventive maintenance performed on a vehicle to ensure it continues to perform well. A tune-up is typically regularly scheduled -- once a year is a very soft rule of thumb -- and offers the chance for you to get all of the preventive maintenance your car needs at that time.

 

When you have a tune-up performed, it will typically include the replacement of several important wear-and-tear parts. Getting a car tune-up regularly will help you maintain your car's performance and extend its life.

 

FLUID LEVELS

Coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid,  should all be checked on a regular basis to ensure there are no leaks and your car is not burning any of the fluids.

 

BALANCE AND ROTATE TIRES

Rotating tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles is recommended to ensure even wear on all tires. During a tire rotation, the front tires are brought to the back and vice versa. At the same time, the tires are given weights to maintain balance.

 

CHECK HOSES & BELTS

The serpentine belt, also known as an accessory belt, is a belt that runs throughout your entire engine to help power components such as the alternator, water pump, compressor and more. This should be regularly checked for cracks, wear and tear, and replaced as needed.

 

ACCESSORIES

From air filters to windshield wipers, all of your accessories should be maintained and replaced on a regular basis.
