Preventative Maintenance

Every time your car is serviced at at Accurate Automotive, an experienced automotive technician will…

1. Check the tires for appropriate air pressure: This will not only improve your car’s safety, but the fuel efficiency of your car as well.
2. Check your transmission fluid: Overfilling your car’s transmission fluid can cause damage. The automobile technicians at Accurate Automotive are careful to top off your fluid level without overfilling.
3. Check the Belts: The desert heat is hard on automobile belts, and it pays off to have them checked regularly. Accurate Automotive checks each of your car’s belts to ensure that everything is operating efficiently and effectively.
4. Check the Coolant: Here in Mesa, AZ it is particularly important that engine coolant is kept at appropriate levels. The extreme temperatures can be hard on cars unless the engine coolant is checked regularly and filled as needed.
5. Check the lights: Nothing is worse than getting pulled over for a missing taillight. Accurate Automotive checks all of your bulbs to help you prevent this situation.
6. Check your battery connections: A car’s performance can be negatively affected by dirty battery connections, and Accurate Automotive makes sure the connections are free of dirt and corrosion.

Mesa Drivers Who Practice Preventative Maintenance Reap Benefits

Vehicles require two types of service – preventative maintenance and repairs.  Repairs include any type of service that is required to fix one of the vehicle’s systems to make it run optimally.  Repairs come after a driver notices that his or her vehicle is not running well, and takes it into a shop for work.  Repairs are most times necessary to keep a car drivable, and frequently come unexpectedly.  Preventative maintenance, on the other hand, includes the type of service designed to forestall or prevent drivers from having to take their vehicles in for repairs.  Preventative maintenance is generally cheaper than repairs, and significantly helps to improve the life of a vehicle.  Drivers who take their vehicles in for regular preventative maintenance save quite a bit of money and can make their car or truck last much longer than drivers who pay no heed to preventative maintenance.

Mesa drivers should recognize that Accurate Automotive is the East Valley’s premier shop for both repairs and preventative maintenance.  So regardless of the type of service a driver requires, he or she can rely on the technicians at Accurate Automotive to get the job done quickly and effectively.  However, Accurate Automotive strongly promotes preventative maintenance in an effort to protect its customer’s best interests.  Accurate Automotive is firmly committed to helping customers stay on top of preventative maintenance so they can preserve the life of their vehicles.

Perhaps the single most important thing that drivers can do to stay on top of preventative maintenance is to change their car or truck’s oil on a regular basis.  This means that drivers should take their vehicle into Accurate Automotive after every 3,000 miles to have the oil changed.  Changing the oil on a regular basis helps drivers to keep their car running optimally, and it also gives the technicians at Accurate Automotive an opportunity to check for other preventative measures that should be taken.

Every time a technician at Accurate Automotive performs an oil change, he will check the car or truck to make sure that all of the other vital fluids are filled and that the vehicle is functioning properly.  The technician will also visually inspect the belts and hoses to make sure that none of them are in need of replacement.  The technician will also take a look at the vehicle’s tires and brakes to make sure that they are in proper working order.  If the technician finds any issues, he will provide the customer with an accurate assessment of the situation.

Customers can rest assured that the technicians at Accurate Automotive will not take any action until first speaking with them.  Even if a technician finds a serious problem with a car or truck, he will not proceed with repairs or preventative maintenance unless and until the customer first approves it.  In this fashion, Accurate Automotive ensures that customers are fully informed of everything that is going on with their vehicles, and that there are no unexpected costs or expenses.  The last thing anybody wants to do is bring their vehicle in for a routine oil change and receive exorbitant bills without prior authorization, and Accurate Automotive’s firm policy is to never allow this.

Accurate Automotive has developed a reputation for excellence over the past 17 years.  Mesa drivers can rely on Accurate Automotive to provide the best in preventative maintenance; and can avoid costly repairs by proactively taking their vehicles to Accurate Automotive for regular preventative maintenance.
