OUR auto Maintenance & DIagnostic Services

You should bring your car in for annual maintenance to service your motor oil, radiator coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, wiper blades and brake pads and rotors. Replacing spark plugs, drive belts, timing belts or chains, and air and fluid filters may have to be done as well depending on the last time you've had them replaced.

As your car approaches 100,000 miles, you will have to view additional areas of your vehicle. Checking radiator hoses, power brakes and power steering are a necessity.

Regular maintenance makes a stark difference between keeping your car working at its best for years or spending time and money on constant repairs.

Moreover, constant maintenance keeps your vehicle safe for driving. Here are some examples:

• Aligned wheels that don’t wear tires excessively prevent spins and accidents at high speeds.
• Brake pads in good shape increase your car’s ability to reduce its speed when it’s critical, preventing crashing.
• An exhaust system in good condition stops toxic gas from entering the passengers' cabin and causing intoxication.
• Fully operational car lights with good luminosity increase your vehicle’s visibility and help you make clear signals when turning or braking, which keeps you and others clear from accidents.
• A drive shaft that doesn’t have cracks or wear prevents your car from suddenly losing speed at a critical moment.
• Regular maintenance prevents your vehicle from causing injuries to yourself and others and protects you from being sued for damages and losses.

For these and many other reasons, car makers and our experts at Century Auto Service recommend you stay on top of all your car’s maintenance needs.

• Stick to your car’s maintenance milestones established by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
• Check your vehicle before every long trip out of town or travel using a highway.
• Pay attention to your car’s warnings, like the “check engine” lights and other indicators of potential problems, and bring your vehicle for an in-depth analysis as soon as they appear.

Keeping up to date with scheduled maintenance will help your car run more efficiently. You’ll avoid the potential for expensive damage that could cost a lot more down the road.

Though every car maker defines a specific maintenance program for each model, most have similarities because many standard car components have a well-known lifetime:
