Can Your Car Last Another Year?

July 5, 2022

Have you checked out the price of new vehicles at Royal Oak car dealers? Ouch! Add financing and insurance and a new ride may not seem so attractive. A lot of Royal Oak, Michigan, folks are hoping to make their cars last a lot longer.

Fortunately, with the current state of automotive engineering and manufacturing, there's no reason a modern vehicle can't be made to last for a 150,000 miles (250,000 kilometers) or more for smart Royal Oak drivers.

The old adage: 'a stitch in time saves nine' is really true for Royal Oak residents when it comes to car maintenance. A great example is coolant service.

Over time, coolant becomes corrosive and actually starts to damage your radiator and other parts. Smart Royal Oak drivers have their cooling system service taken care of right on schedule at Top Tech Auto Repair Royal Oak.

Ditto for your power steering system, brake fluid, air conditioning system, differential and transmission. Of course, oil changes should be done right on schedule to avoid the build-up of harmful oil sludge.

Don't let your brake pads go too long before they are worn to the point that your rotors are at risk. Preventative auto maintenance at Top Tech Auto Repair Royal Oak is a great way to keep your operating costs down.

Replacing belts and hoses is much cheaper than repairing the damage that can be caused by failure.

We can tell you what your vehicle manufacturer recommends and help you develop an affordable plan to take care of it.
