Living in the Arizona sunshine can often make it seem like there isn’t a care in the world, and we admit, this is often the case. Unlike people in other areas (read: the midwest), we don’t have to worry ourselves much with storms or snow or cold weather. However, one thing we can’t afford to simply shrug off until tomorrow is our auto maintenance, and to call attention to this fact, April is National Car Care Month. Accordingly, the service department at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area has specials and coupons to help make your next auto maintenance as quick and easy as possible. And what do we want to pay attention to with our National Car Care Month Auto Service in the Phoenix AZ area? Let’s take a look.
1) Fluid levels. With any auto maintenance, make sure to check your oil, power steering fluid, brake and transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid and antifreeze/coolant. While it’s easy to overlook these simple tasks, keeping your fluids full is the cheapest and easiest way to avoid costly fixes down the road.
2) Check your rubber. With our dry, hot weather, rubber surfaces can easily dry out, crack, or become brittle. Have your hoses and belts checked for wear or cracks, make sure that your tires have plenty of tread and are without bulges or bald spots, and even look at your windshield wipers, that frequently become dry and ineffective if they go unused in excessive heat.
3) Inspect steering, suspension, brakes and alignment. Running on uneven or rough roads can severely alter all systems that affect the comfort of your vehicle’s performance. An easy indicator of improper wheel alignment is uneven tire wear, and squeaking or grinding may indicate that your brakes or suspension need attention.
4) Check your battery and plugs. This should be the most obvious, but batteries and plugs are neglected with shocking frequency. A relatively easy thing to check now will potentially save a driver untold sums of unnecessary towing and service fees.
While vehicle maintenance isn’t anyone’s favorite appointment to keep, it is absolutely necessary. To schedule your next vehicle service at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area, visit our service department online, or you can call or stop by Avondale Nissan directly. As always, be safe, and have a happy and thorough National Car Care Month!
