Are you doing everything you can to protect your vehicle? If you haven't done any preventative car maintenance since you purchased your vehicle, you could be overlooking something important. Let's take this opportunity to protect your investment and make sure you get the most value out of your vehicle!
What Is Preventative Car Maintenance?
At our McCafferty Hyundai
sales and maintenance departments, we see vehicles in many different conditions.
After all, problems are inevitable even on the most reliable cars, and many
different parts of a vehicle will wear out over time.
Preventative car maintenance aims to get rid of problems before they become serious. Think of replacing a belt when it's worn (instead of broken) or replacing filters before the maximum lifespan. The real goal is to prevent problems from happening at all and ensure your vehicle is functioning in top condition.
In most cases car parts will never go from good working order to totally broken in the course of one trip. After all, these are parts designed to last for thousands of miles, and a simple examination on a regular basis is all that's needed to ensure every part is working the way it should.
How Can I Have Preventative Car Maintenance Done?
That's easy! Just talk to a representative of our McCafferty Hyundai sales department, and we can get your vehicle scheduled for regular maintenance sessions. If you've already scheduled maintenance for your vehicle, then chances are we're already doing preventative maintenance work each time you come in, even if no parts are actually replaced.
You should also familiarize yourself with the owner's manual of your vehicle. Many modern vehicles will flash a variety of displays and icons when it's time to replace a given part, and some of those lights are a little more urgent than others. If you're feeling confident, you can even do some of the basic maintenance work yourself – though our mechanics are ready and waiting if you prefer a professional touch.
Is Preventative Car Maintenance Actually Important?
Yes, it is. Worn-down parts
reduce the efficiency of your vehicle and can even damage other sections of the
car. You'll probably find yourself with noticeably lower gas mileage if too
many things are wrong, to say nothing of the lower trade-in value that you'll
get. Damaged vehicles are no fun at all, but a simple and straightforward
effort to fix these problems can save you a lot of time and money on other
maintenance costs.
In the worst-case scenario, the failure of a part that wasn't properly maintained could lead to a collision and injure or kill people.
In short, this is the sort of thing to pay attention to if you truly care about your vehicle. A little bit of preventative car maintenance can make all the difference, providing you with added years and thousands of miles of use.
