What Our Preventative Maintenance Package IncludesOur comprehensive preventative maintenance service covers the essentials your vehicle needs to stay road-ready:

• Oil & Filter Change: Fresh oil and a new filter protect your engine from wear, heat, and buildup — the single most important service you can do for any vehicle.
• Tire Rotation & Pressure Check: Even out tire wear across all four corners and verify proper inflation for safer handling and longer tire life.
• Brake Inspection & Adjustment: Inspect brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure your stopping power is where it needs to be before a problem develops.
• Battery & Charging System Test: Check battery health and alternator output to avoid unexpected electrical failures on the road or job site.
• Fluid Top-Off & Condition Check: Inspect and top off coolant, transmission fluid, power steering, and brake fluid to keep all systems operating properly.
• Belts, Hoses & Filters: Inspect serpentine belts, coolant hoses, air filters, and cabin filters for wear, cracks, or clogging before they cause a breakdown.
