Car Maintenance
What is preventative car maintenance? In simple terms, it’s the regularly scheduled maintenance that the car manufacturer suggests should be done throughout the life of the car.
These maintenance items and the mileage milestones that they should be performed at can usually be found in your car owner’s manual. They include basic maintenance to be done frequently such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections to less frequent items like spark plug replacement, transmission flushing, and timing belt and water pump replacements.
Keeping up with these before there is a problem will avoid costly repairs down the road and minimizes the likelihood that you will break down and be stranded somewhere.
At Mark’s Complete Automotive in Newton, NJ, we can take care of all of your preventative maintenance needs.
Oil Changes
As our mission is to provide Newton, NJ, and the surrounding areas with a place that takes care of all their vehicle needs, we provide oil changes for all cars and trucks. We additionally offer a complimentary vehicle condition inspection with your oil change as we care about your safety.
Oil is an essential element to keep your engine running smoothly and keeping friction down among the moving parts so you get the most life out of your car’s engine. While the engine runs, the oil lubricates the parts. Over time, engine oil becomes dirty and needs to be replaced so that it doesn’t contaminate the engine.
We recommend oil changes be performed every 3000 miles for regular oil and 7500 for synthetic oil. A vehicle that sits and does not meet mileage intervals needs an oil change about every three months to prevent the stagnant oil from causing sludge build-up in the engine.
In addition to your oil change, our ASE certified technicians will inspect your vehicle and take note of any other potential problems that need to be addressed.
