Keeping your vehicle in good repair can end up saving you a lot of money, time and stress – and Hudson Automotive is here to help you understand the ‘Top 5 Most Common Auto Repairs & Maintenance to Stay On Top Of’ to help you do so!
1. Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are a small mechanical piece of the puzzle, but play a big role in your vehicle’s operation, as they ignite the fuel in your engine and help your vehicle start. It’s a quick and simple replacement check, but if installed incorrectly or not replaced in a timely manner, you can cause damage to your car.
2. Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen sensors are responsible for seeing how much oxygen is in your exhaust, ensuring the right balance is maintained for optimal engine performance and emissions control.
3. Brakes
Your brakes are a vital part of your vehicle, keeping you and those around you safe on the road. Brake pad replacements, brake lines, discs, drums and rotor repairs are all something that will need to be addressed at some point, and should not be overlooked.
4. Tires
From having the right tires for the season, to inflation and the quality of your tires – it all matters when it comes to how your vehicle handles, as well as the fuel efficiency of your auto. Our tire technicians in Langley will be able to quickly assess your tires, preventing problems before they start with recommendations and repairs.
5. Oil Changes
An oil change should be conducted every 5000km or so, which will keep all the moving parts lubricated and functioning as they should, and your vehicle maximizing its performance and fuel economy. This is one of the most basic and vital maintenance checks you can have done to your vehicle, helping maintain an ideal lifespan, as well as retaining its value.
Other common areas in which vehicles come in for repairs in Langley, include the ignition system and the electrical system, with which we can also assist, among many other specialized services such as European model repairs and fleet servicing.
