If you're a Culver City resident, you might have found that you're spending increasing amounts of time at home rather than out on the roads commuting to and from work and running your regular errands. While you might think that you can put off attending to your vehicle's routine service visits, having your vehicle looked over and routinely maintained is still of utmost importance. Vehicles don't take well to sitting still for extended periods of time. The best way to promote your car, truck, or SUV's overall condition and health is through a regular maintenance schedule.
Our Service Team's Vehicle Maintenance Tips
- Prevent Tire Flat Spots: Regularly checking your tire pressure is an easy way to keep up with your vehicle. Tires lose air pressure over time and flat spots can form in as little as a month when not taken out for regular short trips. If your tires are old or worn, additional damage can occur through cracking and bulging.
- Keep Up with Oil Changes: Oil changes are still necessary even if you aren't spending hours piloting through rush hour traffic as deterioration over time can occur through changes in temperature. If your car sits in a garage or driveway in a climate that fluctuates throughout the day, consider changing your vehicle's oil to help ensure that it's prepared for when roads open up in the season ahead.
- Check in On Your Battery: Battery maintenance is a must for vehicles that don't regularly see the open roads. If your vehicle has sat for an extended stint, consider taking it out for a spin. Even quick trips to the grocery store and gas station are great ways of ensuring your battery is topped off and ready to start up again in the future.
