One of the most important aspects of car ownership is proper maintenance. While most people do not tend to think about maintenance until something is wrong, keeping your car in top condition is vital for safety and performance. While all types of maintenance are important, the five listed here should not be skipped during your visit to our Honda service center at Gillman Honda San Benito.
Oil Changes
You can think of oil as your engine’s blood, and as such, it is critical to ensure a long life. Our professional Honda mechanics recommend getting an oil change every 3,000 to 7,000 miles or every six months. Neglecting to get oil changes can cause your engine to wear faster and for performance to decrease.
Fluid Checks
Your car’s fluids can break down or wear out over time and lose their effectiveness. During your visit to our service center, our mechanics will check these fluids:
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
Brake Checks
Functioning brakes are absolutely essential for safety and performance. If you’re experiencing brake noises or decreased performance, bring in your car for immediate service. Otherwise, brakes should be checked once per year.
Tire Maintenance
As the only parts of the car that connect it to the road, tires are critically important. Our mechanics can install new tires from our Honda parts department or simply complete a tire rotation.
Battery Check
Few things are worse than a dead car battery. During our routine car inspection, our mechanics will ensure that your battery has enough charge to keep you going.
No matter what type of Honda service you need, our mechanics are happy to complete it at Gillman Honda San Benito.
