Before taking off on your vacation or summer road trip, there are some things you should do to ensure your vehicle is in the best condition possible. An important task includes topping off the fluid levels.

 

An important fluid to inspect is the transmission fluid. It is important to have this done on a regular schedule, which we can help set you up with. Research has shown that ninety percent of transmission failures are caused by it overheating. Most of these can be blamed on fluid that has been worn out and should have been replaced.

 

When the brake fluid needs attention, it is a good idea to bring it in so we can inspect it. If it is no longer able to be effective to your vehicle, we can change and replace the fluid. This can help to keep the condition of the master cylinder and brake calipers in the best condition possible as you drive.

 

The power steering fluid should also be inspected on your vehicle. By bringing your vehicle in, we can check all the fluids in your vehicle and the condition they are in. This can help your vehicle be more efficient when it runs. It can also help provide you with ease of mind when driving this summer.
