Advantage Auto has a menu board that lists the services they provide. Some Greer auto owners may not be familiar with all of the items on the board so here
is a quick description of some of the typical services that might be listed.
Advantage Auto fuel system cleaning: Over time, the minivan
fuel system gets gum and varnish built up. A fuel system cleaning gets rid of that
and cleans out the fuel injectors. Saves gas, by the way.
Advantage Auto headlamp replacement: Halogen and standard
headlamps gradually fade. It’s usually good to change them every year or
so.
Inspections: Greer drivers get inspections for many
reasons. Maybe they’re leaving Greer and going on a trip or just want to
make sure their minivan’s ready for summer or winter. Maybe they just bought
a used car in Greer and want to give it the once over. An inspection may reveal
some things that are broken or are getting close to having a problem.
Advantage Auto oil change – there are several options:
Some Greer centers offer just an oil change and new filter as an option. Most
will also check and top off all of your other fluids and do a quick visual
inspection with a full service oil change. In my way of thinking, the full service
option is best because it makes sure you have adequate fluids in your minivan and
may uncover an emerging problem. There may also be options for higher mileage
fluids or an upgrade to synthetic oil.
Advantage Auto PCV valve service: PCV stands for Positive
Crankcase Ventilation valve. It’s a little part that releases pressure from
the engine. It can get gummed up and that can lead to engine damage. Just needs to
be changed now and then.
Advantage Auto power steering service: Often overlooked. The Greer auto technician will evacuate the old fluid, clean out the system and
replace it with clean fluid. Keeps the system running well for a long time.
Serpentine belt: That’s the belt that powers the
minivan’s engine’s accessories like the alternator, air conditioner,
power steering and brakes. You’ll want to replace the serpentine belt before
it breaks, because that’ll shut you down.
Shocks and
struts: This starts with an inspection of the suspension components in your
minivan. Shocks last a long time and wear out slowly, so many people
don’t notice when it’s time to change them. If they’re worn or
leaking, they need to be replaced.
Transmission service: This involves removing the transmission fluid and
replacing it with clean fluid. It’s like an oil change for your
transmission.
Tire rotation and wheel balancing: The
minivan tires are rotated from front to back using the recommended rotation
pattern. This helps tires wear more evenly. Wheels need to be balanced from time
to time to keep them turning without any wobble or bounce. Helps the ride and
saves tire wear for Greer car owners.
