Keeping up with regular maintenance on your vehicle is vital to its
performance and its longevity. It’s important to keep track of your
vehicle’s service intervals for preventative maintenance because this will
help to treat any problems and prevent serious issues with any of your
vehicle’s parts.
We can perform any general maintenance on your vehicle in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu to
ensure you get where you need to go safely within St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and beyond. Here
are some items that we can check for you:
Check Your Fluids
We can check all your vehicle’s fluids to ensure that they are topped up
and that there are no leaks in your reservoirs. We can check your windshield washer fluid to ensure that your reservoir is
topped up. While we are checking your windshield washer fluid levels,
another fluid that is easy to check is your oil. We will determine if your
vehicle’s oil level is between the maximum and minimum
levels. If it is below the minimum level, we will add oil to your reservoir
and check to ensure there are no issues causing your oil to run low. We
will also check the colour of the oil. If it’s amber to dark brown, then
it’s still in good condition. If it’s black or sludgy, then we will perform
an oil change. Furthermore, we can also check your coolant levels to ensure that your car will not overheat.
We can also check your brake fluid to ensure that your
brakes are working correctly. Lastly, we can check your power steering fluid to make sure that you will
continually be able to turn your steering wheel. All these fluids in your
vehicle are vital to its correct functioning and are important to check
regularly.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Checking your tire pressure is a simple task that should be done regularly,
especially before any long road trips. We recommend that you purchase your
own tire gauge so you can check your tire pressure regularly at home. We
will also check your tire pressure anytime we do a tire rotation, tire
changeover, or install new tires.
Check Your Tire Tread
When you bring your vehicle into Pneus Chartrand MĂ©canique , we can check your tire
tread with a tread depth gauge to ensure that you don’t need new tires.
When your tires reach 4/32″ to 3/32″ of tread left, you will need to
consider getting new tires. Most tires will last between three and five
years, depending on regular maintenance, your driving style, and driving
conditions. It’s also important for you to regularly inspect your tires for
debris, bulges, or cracks. If you notice anything abnormal with your tires,
give us a call, and we will be happy to assist you.
Check Your Battery
Vehicle batteries only last about 4 - 5 years. Harsh conditions like
extreme heat or extreme cold can also wear your battery out quickly. It is
important to have your battery’s voltage checked regularly so that you can
ensure your car will start! Our automotive technicians will be happy to
perform a battery check for you.
Change Your Windshield Wipers
Many people don’t think about the efficiency of their windshield wipers
until it is too late. Windshield wipers should be changed once a year. We
can get you the right wiper blades for your vehicle and install them for
you.
Change Your Lights
Checking to ensure that all the lights in your vehicle are working is
important for your safety and the vehicle’s safety around you. We can test
each of your vehicle’s lights to ensure that they are working and change
any bulbs that are no longer functioning.
If you notice any abnormalities with your vehicle, Pneus Chartrand MĂ©canique is
here to help you get back on the road quickly.
