PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE


Car Care Aware

Courtesy of the Automotive Service Association

The following simple and inexpensive preventive checks will greatly extend the life of the vehicle, ensure safer operation and even benefit the environment.

Always consult your owner's manual for individual service schedules because maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer.

  • Always consult your owner's manual, but a good rule of thumb is to have the oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
  • Have all fluids checked, including brake, power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer solvent and antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle.
  • Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires can result in a loss of fuel efficiency. This is the least expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance. Tires should be checked once a month.
  • Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
  • Have the chassis lubricated frequently. This step extends the life of the moving components of the vehicle's suspension system.
  • Check battery cables and posts for corrosion and clean them as needed. The battery fluid also should be checked and filled if it is low, unless it is a maintenance-free battery.
  • Have the lighting system checked frequently, including headlights, turn signals, and brake and taillights.
  • Check windshield washer blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year, or sooner if streaking begins.
  • Inspect engine belts regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments.
  • Have the air filtration system checked frequently. The air filter should be checked every other oil change for clogging or damage. This system ensures that the vehicle is performing at its peak condition.

I have been taking my cars to Long Hill Auto since 2002. In the past 20+ years I have experienced nothing short of exceptional service and attention to every issue - both major and minor - that has come up. Bob is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable mechanic, he is also an amazing person who even once loaned me his own car when my car needed service and a loaner wasn't available. If you have a car in NJ, Bob and Long Hill Auto is who you want taking care of it for you. 100% recommend without hesitation.

First class service in a clean and well equipped shop! Thank you Bob and crew for another outstanding job on my 2018 Ram 2500 diesel!

I had a flat tire while I was driving on the highway, so I was in an emergency. I went to the Long Hill Auto service. They seemed quite busy. I explained my situation that I needed to bring my son somewhere by 6pm. They took my car and fixed the tire in less than an hour. The staff explained all the details to me. I had no one to take me home so I waited there. While I was waiting for the tire to be repaired, all the staff were so friendly and the owner served me a delicious hot coffee. :) I could say that they have the best and speedy service.
