Neighbors Maintenance Services Include:
|
|
|

|
Consult your owner's manual, but it is a good practice for most automobiles to have the oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
|
|
|

|
Have all fluids checked, including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle.
|
|
|

|
Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month.
|
|
|

|
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
|
|
|

|
Have the chassis lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension system.
|
|
|

|
Check battery cables and posts for corrosion and clean them as needed. The battery fluid also should be checked and filled if it is low, unless it is a maintenance-free battery.
|
|
|

|
Have the lighting system checked frequently, including headlights, turn signals, and brake and taillights.
|
|
|

|
Check windshield washer blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year, or sooner if streaking begins.
|
|
|

|
Inspect engine belts regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments.
