Windshield Wipers
Rain is a common occurrence when springtime rolls around, so schedule a windshield wiper blade replacement. This service will provide you with new wipers that will take the place of old ones to give you proper visibility of the road ahead when it pours. If you don’t change these parts out, you can risk the integrity of your windshield glass, which is a much costlier replacement than your blades. A small investment can help protect the overall health of your car. These need to be changed out at least once every six months and after a winter that may have been full of rain or snow, spending on your travels, you may need to change these items.
Engine Services
For long and extended travels up or down Route 231, you will need to prepare your engine properly. This means changing your oil, the filter, and topping off your coolant. Your engine oil will lubricate your motor as the parts within are moving and the filter will capture as much by-product from the combustion process as possible so your powertrain is not stopped. As it runs, it gets extremely hot and if you’re traveling to warmer climates, without the proper levels of coolant, you can risk your motor overheating and getting damaged. Your oil should be replaced once every 5,000 miles and your coolant can be topped off whenever you’re running low. Simply contact us to make an appointment.
Cabin Air Filter
Make sure you’re always breathing in fresh air with a new cabin air filter. Allergies can not only be uncomfortable but if you’re constantly being hit with sniffles and sneezing while you’re driving, you may be putting yourself and others at risk of an accident. Cabin air filters are supposed to separate pollutants and potential allergens from entering along with the air from outside. Without a clean part, you can be letting in these particles and exacerbating this and other respiratory issues. You should consider changing the cabin air filter out once a year when flowers are in full bloom. Schedule a service appointment with our Service Center in Ozark!
