MAINTENANCE
Simple maintenance can help keep your car running for many trouble-free miles. From monthly visual inspections to comprehensive service checks, keeping an eye on everyday wear and tear can stop small problems from becoming expensive headaches. Below is a list of suggested maintenance schedules, but make sure you refer to your vehicle owner's manual and talk to us to help keep your vehicle in tip-top condition!
3,000 Mile Maintenance
At 3,000 miles, it's important to take your vehicle to Crescent Service to have your oil changed as well as your tire treads and air pressure checked. These very basic but very important steps are the cornerstone of good vehicle maintenance.
• Change engine oil & filter (up to 5 quarts)
• Check under-hood fluid levels
• Check wiper blades
• Check tread depth on all four tires
• Adjust tire pressure to manufacturer's specs
5,000 Mile Maintenance
Rotating your tires means moving them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back or a combination of both. Regular tire rotation helps avoid uneven tire wear that can lead to poor performance and gas mileage.
15,000 Mile Maintenance
At 15,000 miles, engine parts and accessories begin to show wear and tear.
Having your vehicle thoroughly inspected and checked at Crescent Service can help stop potential problems before they get serious.
It's also important to get the standard oil change as well as tire tread and air pressure checks.
• Change engine oil & filter (up to 5 quarts)
• Check under-hood fluid levels
• Check wiper blades
• Check tread depth on all four tires
• Adjust tire pressure to manufacturer's specs
• Check alignment
• Lubricate transmission control linkage
• Inspect CV joint boots
• Inspect fuel system connections, hoses and lines
• Lubricate steering and suspension components
• Complete tire rotation
• Evaluate brake condition
• Inspect cabin air filter (not applicable to some vehicles.)
• Fuel Injection Maintenance
30,000 Mile Maintenance
At 30,000 miles, daily wear begins to take its toll. A bumper-to-bumper inspection, along with an oil change and check of all other fluids and moving parts means worn parts get replaced and your vehicle is returned to tip-top shape.
• Change engine oil & filter (up to 5 quarts)
• Check under-hood fluid levels
• Check wiper blades
• Check tread depth on all four tires
• Adjust tire pressure to manufacturer's specs
• Inspect rotors, linings, pads, drums
• Lubricate caliper slide rails
