When you have a vehicle, it is important to keep it in the best condition possible. This way you can keep it lasting as long as possible. With proper maintenance inspections, you can make sure that it is running at top efficiency and performance levels. If you ever notice anything that is out of the norm with your vehicle, make sure to bring it in as soon as possible. We can check the parts and components to ensure they are in proper working condition. If there is an issue that should be fixed or repaired, we can alert this to you as well.

Visually Inspect your Vehicle

When you park your car, do you see any stains or fluid under your car? This may mean nothing more than your car’s air conditioning system is working, but it can also be a sign of a serious issue. Colored fluid that is orange, blue, or a yellow-green color can indicate that you have a coolant leak or an engine that is overheating. If you notice this, you will want to be sure that you schedule an appointment as quickly as you can, you could be having issues with your water pump or your radiator, which can cause additional damage to your car.

Inspecting the Oil of Your Vehicle should be done Regularly

If you notice a black oily or brown substance that is coming out of the bottom of the car, this can be an indicator that your car is leaking some oil. This is a problem that can be costly, as it can be a bad seal or gasket, so be sure that you bring the vehicle in to make sure that you get it fixed before it causes further damage. A reddish spot that has an oily sheen to it can indicate a power steering fluid leak or a transmission fluid leak. This can be an indicator of an issue that can be brewing, so be sure that you bring the vehicle in to have your vehicle checked out if you notice this sort of leakage.

If you Notice Damage Under the Hood

Smoke coming from your engine means that you need something repaired. If you notice it coming from a wheel, you could have a brake issue. If you smell something weird from your car, you will want to consider what exactly you may smell. A gas smell after you have tried to start the car can simply mean that it is flooded, but if it continues, you will want to get your car checked out to ensure that there is not a more serious issue. By using your senses, you can determine if there are issues with your car that may need attention. Your eyes, ear, and nose can allow you to be sure that you are able to catch any issues with your car before they turn into major issues. No matter what kind of car that you have, it is up to you to be observant to what is going on with it. This can make the difference in catching problems early or not.
