When you buy a car, you want it to be dependable by running smoothly and getting you wherever you need to be. Let’s face it – dead batteries and blown tires can ruin your day. We don’t want these repairs to surprise you, which is why preventative maintenance serves to take the stress off your hands. They are services that can save you time and money in the long run by preventing unwanted breakdowns.

At German Car Depot, we can help you stay on top of preventative maintenance. Here are some of the services we offer that can keep your vehicle reliable on the road.

• Oil Change - This is the best preventative maintenance that can be done. It is most frequently recommended by your automaker because motor oil is a lubricant for your engine parts. When you feel your engine with fresh and clean oil, wear and tear are minimized.
• Filters - Filters often get neglected, but they are a major part of your regular service. There’s the engine air filter, cabin air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter. In simple terms, these filters keep impurities out of places where they shouldn’t be, to protect your car and you.
• Windshield Wipers - The wipers on your car are responsible for clearing off your windshield. You should replace them every 6-12 months to ensure you don’t risk dangerous driving. 
• Spark Plugs - Spark plugs keep your car reliable by igniting the air and fuel in your engine. Over time, they wear out which will trigger the check engine light to come on. 
• Battery - By regularly testing your battery, you can avoid the inconvenience of a dead one. Furthermore, you should check its wires and connection points. They should be free of corrosion and tucked away.

While preventative maintenance may seem unnecessary and costly, it is not. In truth, you spend more in the long run with unexpected repairs. We welcome you to bring your car to German Depot for all your maintenance needs.
