Maintenance Tips

Don’t Skip Fluid Checks

  • Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid should be checked regularly.
  • Florida’s summer heat puts extra stress on your fluids. Change them on schedule to prevent overheating or wear.
  • Ask about our BG flush services, which include extended warranty coverage.

Listen for Brake Noises

  • Squealing or grinding noises mean your brake pads or rotors need attention.
  • A soft pedal can indicate fluid or master cylinder issues.
  • Never delay brake inspections, they’re your most important safety system.

Don’t Ignore Ticking or Warning Lights

  • A check-engine light can be as simple as a sensor, or as serious as a collapsed lifter.
  • Catching issues early prevents costly damage to the camshaft or valves.
  • Our team specializes in engine lifter repairs for GM and Dodge trucks, a common problem in Central Florida.

Stay Cool in Florida Heat

  • If your A/C isn’t blowing cold, it could be a failing evaporator or compressor.
  • Running the system low on refrigerant can damage major components.
  • Seasonal A/C checks are a smart move before long road trips.

Watch for Pulling or Uneven Wear

  • Poor alignment shortens tire life and reduces fuel economy.
  • If your car pulls to one side, schedule an alignment check.
  • Keeping tires inflated and rotated extends their lifespan and improves safety.

Plan Ahead for Florida Weather

  • Summer storms and holiday road trips put extra strain on your vehicle.
  • A seasonal inspection can catch coolant leaks, heating issues, or battery weaknesses before they leave you stranded.
  • We offer road trip inspections so you can travel with confidence.
