Preventative Maintenance
Getting regular car checkups can help prevent expensive breakdowns and repairs. Tate Boys provides car maintenance service at all of its locations. We provide maintenance service at key milestones (30k, 60k, etc.) and any time you feel that an inspection is needed.
Tate Boys’ ASE-certified technicians can perform all of your scheduled car maintenance at standards that meet or exceed your manufacturer’s recommendations. In fact, it is against the law for a dealer to deny warranty coverage due to maintenance or repairs performed by someone else.
Vehicles are a major investment for the average American family. It is how we travel to and from work, pick up our kids, and get away sometimes for that family vacation. Unfortunately, car maintenance service is not always a high priority for some people. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) performed a study on maintenance habits and discovered that more than 50% of consumers are neglectful of routine maintenance. Worse, young people (who tend to drive more), are the least likely to keep up with their vehicle manufacturer’s service schedules.
Some services included as part of our Preventative Maintenance are:
Oil Change
By removing existing oil and oil filter from the vehicle and replacing with new oil and oil filter, this will promote long life for the engine. Recommended on vehicles every 3,000-5,000 miles.
Belts & Hoses
Belts and hoses can wear over time and replacing them ensures proper operation of the vehicle.
Fluid Flushes
Fluid quality can degrade over time so flushing out the old fluid and replacing it will new will keep the performance of the component that was flushed.
Spark Plug Replacement
By using a preventative approach of replacing spark plugs ensures that the performance of your motor meets expectations of the manufacturer.
