As the new school year approaches, check with our service team at Porsche Cincinnati Kings in Cincinnati, OH to see if your car is in good condition for driving to college or taking your children to school.
Here are five maintenance tasks to consider:
Tire pressure and alignment: Regularly check tire pressure and ensure proper inflation. Look for uneven wear or low tread depth, which may indicate the need for tire rotation or alignment.
Oil change: Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining engine health. Check your car's owner's manual for the recommended interval and ensure you change the oil before the school year begins.
Brake inspection: During a back-to-school car maintenance checkup, have a mechanic thoroughly examine your brake system and replace any worn or damaged brake pads. Proactive brake maintenance is crucial for vehicle condition and road safety.
Battery check: Check battery terminals for corrosion and make sure they're tightly secured. If the battery is old or weak, consider replacing it before the school year starts.
Fluid levels: Check and fill all essential fluids: windshield wiper fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. Clean fluids keep your engine running smoothly, while dirty fluids can cause damage.
