Service FAQs
Our service team often gets many questions from our customers. Over time, we have realized that we hear some of the same questions. Below are some of the most common inquiries we get from folks who visit us and the answers to them.
How Often Should I Change My Oil?
You can find the recommended intervals on how often you should change your oil in your owner's manual. Our friendly service advisors may also be able to assist you with finding the information. In general, you can expect to change your oil every 5,000-7,500 miles, depending on the type of oil you use and the age of your vehicle.
How Often Should I Have My Tires Rotated?
Rotating your tires is important to maintaining the health of your tires. Failure to rotate them could result in your tires wearing unevenly and, eventually, premature tire failure. Your owner's manual will tell you how often your tires should be rotated, but most vehicles will fall in the 6,000 to 8,000-mile range.
How Can I Tell if My Brakes Need Replacing?
Since your brakes are vital to the safe operation of your vehicle, it is important that your brake system is operating at its best. Signs that you might need new brakes include a squeaking, squealing, or whirring sound when you press the brake pedal, your brake light being illuminated, your car pulling to one side when you press on the brakes, and your brake pedal feeling soft when you press it down with your foot.
How Often Should I Have My Car Battery Inspected?
Being stranded somewhere because your car won't start is a helpless feeling. This is why getting your car battery inspected is a great idea. Our service center recommends getting your car battery inspected before the change of every season, but you should do it at least twice a year. A car battery's average lifespan is four years.
