Neglected Cooling System: A periodic servicing of the cooling system helps to stop the deterioration of the radiator or heater core.

Leaking Shock Absorbers: Torn and worn shocks or struts affect ride control and cut down tire life.

Corroded Battery Cables: Corroded cables and a weak battery cause starting trouble. Have battery and charging system checked if the engine starts slowly.

Worn Brake Parts: Postponing needed brake service, in addition to being a safety hazard, can escalate the cost of a braking system overhaul.

Clogged Filters: Scheduled replacement of oil, gas, air, fuel, transmission and other filters lengthens car life and improves and increases performance.

Worn Spark Plugs: Worn plugs waste gas and increase exhaust emissions.

Glazed Belts, Rotten Hoses: Replace old and worn belts before they break or bad cooling system hoses can lead to overheating.

Tired Tires: Worn tires are dangerous. Proper inflation, alignment, and balance will extend tire life.

Tired Windshield Wiper Blades: Do not wait for a rainy day to replace worn blades.
