Learn How To Maintain Your Vehicle Properly Using An Auto Repair Lincoln Park Shop's Tips

By Melisa Carlucci


Every car owner wants to keep their car running at an optimal level. An auto repair Chicago knows that what really keeps cars and trucks going, even up to a high 6-figure range, is proper, regular maintenance and care. Vehicles should have regular lubrication and scheduled maintenance and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the vehicle. You can take your car to an auto repair Lincoln Park Shop in your area.

Vehicle owners should replace all wear-and-tear parts before they break (like timing belts). A power-train can keep going strong if it receives regular lubrication. Using the correct brake fluid, grease and oil can keep your engine running strong. The vehicle finish inside and outside should be protected and cleaned. Leather, fabric, plastic and paint also require help if they are to survive a constant assault of elements and sun.

Some car care tips can be given by your local repair shop. The first tip is to always check the oil in your car on a regular basis. The second tip is to make sure that you change the coolant and flush your cooling system every year. You can use a 50/50 solution of coolant and distilled water to ensure that deposits do not build up and cause corrosion in your car's cooling system.

Tip number three is to change out differential and transmission oil. Although these oils don't need servicing frequently, they should still be changed at regularly scheduled service intervals. Car owners should also use the recommended viscosity and type of gear oil and transmission fluid.

Tip #4 is a rather obvious one and that is to clean the inside and outside of your vehicle regularly. You can hose off the grime and winter salts from the roads to ensure that your paint job maintains its integrity and luster. If you ran over anything make sure that you check the underside of your vehicle to ensure that nothing gets stuck under it.

Tip five is to make sure that all parts that require lubrication such as grease and oil gets serviced. The car needs grease to keep it functioning at least all the moving parts anyway. Tip six is to use a good quality wax on the exterior paint job about once every six months to keep your car shiny and the paint in tact. Tip seven is to make sure your U-joints are properly lubricated and tip 8 is to use a sun deflector to keep out the harsh UV rays of the sun that can crack your dash and discolor your car's fabric. You can use a protectant for your vinyl and leather to keep the sun's rays from cracking the plastic parts and to make sure that these surfaces do not dry out.
