| Service | Work Performed | When you do it... | If you don't | ||||
| Lube | Lubricated chassis | Reduces friction on chassis | Premature wearing of suspension, squeaks, and rattles | ||||
| Oil & Filter Change | Drain oil &l replace filter | Reduces wear on engine parts and engine runs cooler | Oil contaminants solidify into sludge, components aren't lubricated, metal on metal components causes engine damage | ||||
| Oil Supplement | Added to oil | Prevents moisture build up and enhances oil life | Oil does no lubricate as well and oxidizes faster | ||||
| Tire Rotation | Rotate tires from front to back and/or left to right | Tires wear evenly and last longer | Frequent tire replacement, poor handling, unsafe turning and stopping | ||||
| Tire Balance | Proper setting of wheel weights | Smoother ride, reduces tire wear, less stress on suspension parts | Premature tire wear and replacement of suspension parts, poor handling | ||||
| Correct Tire Pressure | Adjust to proper setting | Smoother ride and ensures even tire wear | Premature tire wear and replacement of suspension parts, poor handling | ||||
| Check Fluid Levels | Check for proper levels for fluid integrity | Ensures proper lubrication and adequate cooling, identify leaks before failures | Increased potential for excess wear and premature failures | ||||
| Battery Service | Clean battery terminals and ensure proper connections | Reliable starting, battery lasts longer and prevents electrical problems | Premature battery failure, cable corrosion, vehicle won't start, damage from battery acid spills/boil-overs can occur | ||||
| Coolant System Service | Replace coolant, clean lines and hoses and pressure test system | Ensures proper coolant temperature, removes contaminants, ensures lines and hoses are effective | Damage to radiator/lines/hoses, breakdown due to overheating, potential for future damage | ||||
| Transmission Service | Removes contaminated fluid and replace with new fluid | Smoother shifting, proper lubrication of internal parts, transmission operates at cooler temperature | Metal filings clog clutches, overheating causes breakdown Additional transmission component repairs/replacement | ||||
| Power Steering Service | Replace fluid, clean lines and hoses & pressure test system | Operates at cooler temperature, ensures lines and hoses are effective and removes contaminants | Overheating causes breakdown, contaminants enter pump can cause system failure and future damage | ||||
| Air Filter Replacement | Replace Filter | Better gas mileage, less stress on engine and improved performance | Incorrect air/fuel mixture, increased engine contamination and premature engine failure | ||||
| Fuel Filter Replacement | Replaces filter and test lines | Ensures cleaner fuel, prevents injector clogs and removes water from fuel | Injector damage/failure, poor performance, failure to start/operate | ||||
| PVC Replacement | Replace component | Lowers emission, engine "breathes" more effectively and prevents excessive oil consumption | Excessive oil consumption affects engine lubrication, excessive emissions | ||||
| Spark Plug Replacement | Replace spark plugs, secure plug wires | Reliable starting, improved engine performance and fuel economy | Potential no-starts, excessive wear on starter/alternator/engine/pistons | ||||
| AC Service | Test components, inject additive, remove contaminants | Quieter operation, better cooling & extends life of system | Mold and Fungi in system can cause poor health, rust causes premature wear, improper cooling | ||||
| Fuel Injector Service | Cleans throttle body/injectors/air intake systems | Reduced emissions, restores horsepower, prevents "hard-to-start" situations | Injectors clog up and cause engine failure, poor performance, breakdowns and future repairs | ||||
| Nitrogen Tire Inflation | Replace oxygen gas with moisture-free nitrogen gas | Increases tire life up to 35%, reduces the chance of tire failure by 50%, improves braking and handling, maintains proper tire pressure | Premature tire and replacement of suspension parts, poor handling, frequent re-setting of tire-pressure monitoring system | ||||
| Factory Scheduled Maintain Service | All Recommended Services | All of the individual service benefits packaged together to save money | All of the individual service consequences and loss resale value |
