What Constitutes Regular Maintenance.

As it pertains to your finely tuned foreign vehicle in the Topeka area, it involves a number of different things. Owning a vehicle is definitely not cheap. If you look beyond the price tag on any new or used foreign car to what is required to keep your vehicle operating safely it may make you gasp!

Here are some common maintenance tips to follow –

 

1.  Always the oil…the lifeblood of your car.

2.  The tire pressure…safety first.

3.  Your braking system…safety second.

4.  The antifreeze level.

5.  The air filter…it must not be clogged.

6.  The transmission fluid.

7.  Your car’s lights.

Give Yourself a Brake.

Notice the spelling above…the brake in this case refers to your vehicle’s braking system. Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and a harsh winter is probably on its way. Extreme weather in and around Topeka comes in the form of ice, snow, sleet, and heavy rain. It is often encountered while driving during these upcoming winter months.

Before the onset of winter, it may very well be the best time to arrange to have your vehicle professionally serviced. It’s best to explain to your mechanic that you want a ‘winter check’, and you should especially mention a brake safety check which will involve the system components meaning the brake discs, pads, and brake fluid levels.

There is no better place to have your foreign or domestic vehicle’s brakes checked in the Topeka area than A.J.’s Import Garage. A.J.’s located at 501 S.W. Harrison in the capital city is the home of Master ASE certified mechanics. Go ahead, check them out on Google at ajsimportgarage.com then call for an appointment at (785) 233-1000.

It Is About to Get Cold Out Here.

No doubt about it, Topeka is about to go into winter mode with temperatures well below freezing. Is your vehicle’s heating system ready for that? For most of us in the area we may not have really cranked up the heat in our vehicle yet this fall, but we certainly will be soon enough! Be sure you are ready with a few easy steps.

Here are some of them –

 

1.  Have your cooling system thoroughly checked.

2.  Listen for noise coming from the blower.

3.  Is your A/C working? It seems odd, but your heating system relies on that.

To be sure that you are not stranded for even one minute on a freezing Topeka morning please visit A.J.’s Import Garage first. They will check your car’s heating system and keep it comfortable throughout the upcoming winter. A.J.’s is found on the web at ajsimportgarage.com and locally at 501 S.W. Harrison in Topeka.
