Preventive Maintenance

What may cause the problem and how can you prevent it?

It only takes one dirty Fuel Injector nozzle to hinder a car's driving performance, which is why regular maintenance in this region is so necessary. Fuel Injector cleaning products can assist in the prevention of unwanted problems. A liquid additive, such as Chevron Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner, can work to prevent the buildup of dirt particles, which can clog the Fuel Injector.

Wiper Blades become old over time, and therefore their continual replacement is required for better driving conditions, during rain. Scott's Auto Center recommends the replacement of wiper blades every six months to a years time.

Tires will wear down from the tar on the road over time. One of the best ways to prevent this from occurring sooner is to focus on your driving. Stopping too short too often can lead to excessive wearing of the tire's tread. Alternatively, hitting the gas too hard too fast can also be a lead factor in tire tread that wears too quickly. A smooth driving experience will always transfer to a longer lasting tire tread. There are also higher grade tires, which you can purchase, that should hold their tire tread for longer periods. Tires should be replaced when the tread has reached 4/32" of remaining tread depth. The most common way to tell if your tire has reached this 4/32” depth mark is to do the penny test! This can be done by sticking a penny into the tread of the tire, upside down and with Abraham Lincoln's head facing you. If you can see all of Abe's head, your tire's tread has worn down too far and it is time to replace the tire.
