Trade-In Maintenance near Dothan, AL
After deciding to trade in your Kia or Mitsubishi, you might be trying to figure out next steps. Instead of feeling confused, let’s offer clear guidance on the maintenance your model will need for the appraisal at Gilland Ford. Our finance representatives can sit with you and form a clear budget on the next vehicle!
Oil and Battery Service
We’ll begin by going over some of the essential routine maintenance tasks your Honda or Dodge may need. One of the parts of your vehicle we’ll look over is the battery. Consider scheduling a test or inspection if you’re unsure when you last had it checked after traveling for a while in Dothan. That way, you’ll know to have a fresh battery installed if need be for the vehicle to have enough juice inside. To also ensure that your routine tasks are up to date, remember to have your engine oil periodically changed. This liquid is in charge of lubricating the components inside the powertrain and also helping protect it from wear. Keeping it maintained will help your engine perform optimally when we appraise your vehicle.
Tire Rotation and Windshield Wipers
If your vehicle has been used extensively through Route 29, another key maintenance task that you’ll want to ensure is done is a tire rotation. When driving your car for many miles, the tread on the tires can begin to wear out unevenly. Because of this natural occurrence, it’s only a matter of time before they will need to be switched around. That way, once the service ends, your tires will begin to have a more level degradation, allowing it to perform well on the day you trade it in. Don’t forget to have your windshield wipers inspected. When traveling through rainy days in Dothan, the blades can become tattered and dirty with use. By visiting our Service Center, you can have a fresh pair installed!
More Services
There are several other services that we can’t leave out, including having any scratches or dents on the exterior removed. Before the appraisal, you should ensure that the cabin air filter is replaced if it has accumulated too much dirt over time. Some signs that you can look out for are if there’s a whistling noise when turning on the air conditioning system or if there’s an odor inside your model. Perhaps you’ve noticed grinding noises as you arrive at a halt when traveling to Wiregrass Museum of Art every weekend. Consider having your brake system inspected so that we can replace the fluid or pads if they’re worn out. We’re pleased to provide more maintenance tips for your trade-in, so call our dealership!
