Avoid Costly Repairs: Essential Car Care Tips by Kunes Auto Group

Did you know April and October are super important months for your car? That's right, April is National Car Care Month and October is Fall Car Care Month. It's like a reminder to give your car a little TLC (Tender Loving Care)!

When April rolls around, it's like a green light saying winter is almost over. It's the perfect time to bring your car or truck to us for a check-up. 

Why?

Because you're probably planning some awesome road trips for spring and summer, and we want to make sure your ride is as ready as you are!

Taking care of your car doesn't just keep it running smoothly; it also means you can avoid big repair bills later on. Plus, it helps your car keep its value. Think about it: if you want your car to take care of you, you've got to take care of it first.

Our expert Service Managers have some top tips to keep your vehicle running like a dream:

  • Get a Full Tune-up: Bring your car in for a tune-up. We'll check everything out and make sure it's all good. Regular check-ups can save you from a big bill later.
  • New Wiper Blades: Replace your wiper blades every six months or if they start making a mess of your windshield. Seeing clearly is key to safe driving.
  • Check Your Tires: Tires worn down or uneven? We'll check them out. Properly aligned and inflated tires save you money on gas and make your car handle better.
  • Brake Check: Brakes feeling a bit iffy? We recommend an annual check-up to keep you safe on the road.
  • Fluids and Filters: Oil changes are a no-brainer, but don't forget about the other fluids and filters. Our team will check and replace them as needed.
  • Battery Check: A strong connection keeps your car starting smoothly. Batteries older than three years might need a test or replacement.
  • Exhaust System: Hearing strange noises? We'll inspect your exhaust for leaks or damage to keep you safe from harmful fumes.
  • Steering and Suspension: A smooth ride starts with a solid steering and suspension system. We recommend checking these every April, or at least once a year.
