A lot of people in SC have older vehicles. They’re good commuters,
grocery-getters or toy-haulers. They enjoy that fact that they’re paid
off, or soon will be. They would gladly like to keep their vehicles for
200,000 miles or more – as long as it’s economical to do so.
There are plenty of people in Greer whose vehicles are running after
150,000 or 200,000 miles. We can learn from what they’re doing to keep
our own cars on the road.
A common denominator is that they never skip an oil change.
That may sound a bit unsophisticated, but it’s really not. First off,
oil is the life blood of your engine and it needs to be clean to
properly lubricate. Skipping oil changes leads to clogged oil filters and sludge that can damage your engine. Enough said.
There’s another reason why the scheduled oil change
is so important. It’s simple – a Advantage Auto professional is going
to be looking at your car. All of your fluid levels will be inspected
and topped off so they won’t get so low that damage can be done. If
there is a significant fluid loss, let’s use brake fluid as an example,
your Greer technician can look for the cause of the loss and find the
problem before it leads to an accident or costly repair.
Your Greer service technician
will also visually inspect the vehicle for worn belts and hoses, uneven
tire wear, leaking shock absorbers and more. Problems get addressed
before they lead to repairs that cost more than the car’s worth. And
your Greer service advisor will be able to remind you of other services
that the factory recommends you get done.
Just think of that oil change the same way as you do about going to
the dentist for your six month cleaning and checkup. Don’t skip it.
Of course, good maintenance costs money, but it’s far cheaper than new car payments.
