The Importance Of Maintaining Your Vehicle

Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, having fluids checked/flushed, and tune-ups, can greatly increase your vehicle’s performance and reliability, as well as greatly extend its life. Failing to service your vehicle properly can increase repair costs and lower its value for a future sale or trade-in.

Brake Repair

Brake issues can start out small but worsen over time. Waiting to have them repaired can greatly increase the costs involved. Having your brakes inspected during a routine maintenance visit can help save you both time and money.

Battery Replacement

Today’s vehicles are loaded with technology. That’s why it’s more important than ever to ensure your battery operates at peak performance. At Hillsboro Ford Inc, we know exactly what battery is needed for your specific vehicle and can help guide you through what can be a somewhat complex process.

New Tire, Tire Rotation, and Tire Balancing

Maintaining your tires not only keeps you safe but also helps your vehicle run more efficiently and extends the life of the tires themselves. Regular rotations and alignments are essential to your vehicle’s performance.

Oil Changes

Regular oil changes improve your engine’s performance and help your car achieve its peak gas mileage. Today’s vehicle engines generally have extended oil-change intervals beyond 3,000 miles, so it is recommended that you consult the specific maintenance schedule interval in your vehicle owner’s manual.

Load Index

A letter symbol that follows the load index indicates the tire's speed rating. The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time under a standard condition of load and inflation pressure. The tires on your vehicle may operate at different conditions for load and inflation pressure. These speed ratings may need to be adjusted for the difference in conditions. The ratings range from 81 mph (130 km/h) to 186 mph (299 km/h). These ratings are listed in the following chart.

Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.

Fluid Levels

Having your fluids topped off is simple and can be performed in just a few minutes. These include oil, radiator, transmission, power steering, windshield washer and brake fluid.

Filters

Your vehicle’s filters should be changed every 15K–30K miles. These include the engine air filter, oil filter, fuel filter and cabin air filter. Most can be inspected and replaced during a routine oil change.

Spark Plugs

Your spark plugs should be changed every 100K miles. A bit more complicated than a routine oil change, the time and cost will depend on your vehicle’s year, make and model.

Belts & Hoses

A belt or hose failure can cause loss of both power steering and the electrical charging system, as well as an overheated engine. Hoses are generally inspected for softness, swelling, hardening, cracks, chafing, and heat damage.
