Scheduling Regular Car Maintenance Can Lengthen the Lifespan of Your Car
Don’t Let Regular Car Maintenance Fall By The Way Side
In the hustle and bustle of life, proper car maintenance schedules tend to be the last thing on our minds, especially when other seemingly more important issues rear their ugly heads. Holidays are rapidly approaching, the kids are back in school, and the last thing you’re thinking about is bring your car into the shop for a check-up. Routinely checking up on the health of your vehicle, however, can very often prevent more expensive repairs down the line. Prevention is better than cure if you want to keep your life in the spotlight rather than whether or not you can afford a big repair or replacement. Schedule an appointment today and our expert auto repair and maintenance mechanics will get your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently in no time.

Brakes and Rotors
The hurricane season in Florida can be rough on your car and it’s important to keep your brakes and rotors up to par. A properly maintained brake system can be the difference between stopping in time and an expensive accident. Be prepared for the bad weather before it strikes; it might be a wet one. Some signs that you need brake problems include a squealing or grinding sound, vibration or your car pulling to one direction while braking, or if you are able to depress the brake pedal all the way to the floor of the car. Learn more about your Brake Services page.

Routine Auto Tune-Up
Another important and relatively straight forward service is getting a car tune up — which involves a mechanic inspecting and adjusting the systems in your vehicle that contribute to fuel efficiency and usage. This simple service adds to the lifespan of your vehicle by identifying the areas that need to be fixed, such as sensors or spark plugs, before they deteriorate to the point of catastrophic failure. It’s generally a good idea to get a tune-up every 10,000 to 20,000 miles since your last tune-up, if you notice your car is difficult to start, or if you notice your vehicle’s performance faltering. Learn more about what AAMCO Central Florida Tune-Up services include on our service page.

Check Your Battery
Batteries will typically last between four to five years but can wear out sooner depending on your climate and overall condition of your car. The humid temperature and wet, salty weather can be hard on your battery and cause corrosion build up. If your vehicle is stuttering or struggling to start up or if your engine turns but doesn’t start, you may already have battery system issues and should look to get it services right away. Don’t get stranded on the side of the road in in your driveway with a dead battery.

Prepare Your Car for Wet Weather
Make sure your vehicle is ready for any sort of weather here in Florida. Whether it’s a hot and sunny day or hurricane season has rolled around, make sure your car has an emergency kit so you are prepared for any situation. You’re going to definitely wish you replaced your window wipers and checked your tires when the torrential rain rolls around. It’s important to also ensure that your headlights and taillight bulbs are functioning and that your radiator and cooling system are working without issue. The expert mechanics at AAMCO Central Florida know exactly what you need to prepare for any type of weather and can help you get ready.
