October is National Car Care Month, so there’s never been a better time to make your vehicle’s maintenance a priority.

Take the Time For Tire Inspections 

Checking your tires on a regular basis can not only help keep you safe on the road, but protect your investment. Tires can be expensive, so maximizing their lifespan is crucial. To do this, our service experts recommend getting a tire inspection monthly.

Keep in mind that your tires are the only part of your vehicle that comes in direct contact with the road, so they play a major role in its performance. To optimize handling and braking, tires must have the correct air pressure, tread depth, balance, and alignment. Potholes, poorly maintained roads, and debris can cause tread wear and tear over time. If you notice your steering wheel shaking or vehicle pulling to one side, tire maintenance is needed. 

Properly Inflated Tires Boost Fuel Efficiency

Checking your tire pressure regularly can even save you money at the pump! With high gas prices plaguing Americans, this tip is more important now than ever before! Check your owner’s manual to find out the recommended pressure, then use a tire pressure gauge to check your vehicle’s tires. Or just stop by and let our Service Department handle it for you! Whether you need your tires balanced, aligned, or inflated, we’ve got you covered!
