Keeping your vehicle at a high level of performance as you drive around Kalkaska isn’t difficult when you target a few key areas. But you don’t always have the time, tools, or experience to do the job yourself. That is when you schedule your service with the Service Center at Matt LaFontaine Automotive.
ENGINE SERVICES
It doesn’t matter if your time behind the wheel is a quick errand near Roscommon or a trip many hundreds of miles away. Starting the engine takes a toll on a variety of systems. This makes routine inspections and regular care an integral part of vehicle maintenance.An inspection catches problems that just haven’t manifested enough to impact performance. Your technician can spot a suspicious leak, fraying wire, or torn gasket and fix it before it sidelines your vehicle with you in it. Inspections are also a great opportunity to refill fluids and replace dirty filters.
Improving fuel efficiency is a side benefit of regularly changing your oil because your engine doesn’t have to work quite as hard as when the oil is full of sediments. Fresh oil also reduces wear and tear on engine parts, extending their overall lifespan. Your technician or owner’s manual can give you a good timetable for oil changes, but how you use your Buick, Chevy, or GMC vehicle will also impact how often you’ll need an oil change.
TIRE SERVICES
You can save money on tires by rotating them regularly, so they don’t develop weak spots that require early replacement. Even though gas prices might be high around Gaylord, you can save some money at the pump with properly balanced and inflated tires. If your air pressure is low or a tire is wobbly, your vehicle has to work harder to push itself down the road, directly impacting fuel efficiency.
BRAKE SERVICES
You always want to feel safe behind the wheel while driving around Grayling, so don’t neglect brake care. It’s harder to gauge brake pad replacement because it’s different for everyone, so you’ll have to be vigilant in noting any changes in brake performance. You’ll also need a brake fluid replacement every three years or so.
