Wheel Alignments

Alignments: More Than Just Driving Straight

A four-wheel alignment reduces tire wear and straightens your vehicle, so you're not pulled to the left or right while driving. A wheel alignment is an important maintenance service that fixes the angle of your tires and wheels after pot holes and curb sides alter it.

If your vehicle does go out of alignment, this can spell possible disaster for you or any driver. You could lose control of your vehicle, which is potentially very dangerous for you and others on the road.

An alignment offers drivers numerous benefits, including:

• Longer Lasting Tires
• Minimizing Wear and Tear
• Better Vehicle Handling and Performance
• Safer Vehicle Operation

Lube & Oil Changes

Your car takes a lot of abuse day in and day out, and never complains. Make sure you take care of your car, so it can take care of you. If your gas mileage has decreased lately, or your engine sounds a little loud, your car is trying to say you need an oil change.

Why Do I Need an Oil Change?

Oil changes are pretty important. Did you know that you car’s oil:

• Keeps All Engine Components Working Properly Together?
• Draws Heat Away from Vehicle’s Combustion Chamber, Lowering Engine Temperature?
• Prevents carbon and varnishes from building up in the engine?

Oil Change FAQ’s

Check your owner's manual for recommended oil change intervals. Every car is different. We can help you find the right maintenance schedule for your vehicle.

Synthetic Oil vs. Conventional Oil

Don't know what oil is best for your vehicle? Check out the differences between synthetic and conventional:

• Synthetic Oil: Synthetic oil is designed to handle extreme temperatures and lasts longer than conventional oil. It's a great choice for reducing engine wear, and improving gas mileage on hard working engines.
• Conventional Oil: Also known as regular oil, conventional oil is derived from petroleum. It’s less expensive than synthetic oil and a good fit if you don't drive far very often.

If you think you need an oil change, or you’re not sure, schedule an appointment. Your car is counting on you.

Preventive Maintenance

Everything has a life expectancy, including every part that makes up your vehicle. The purpose of preventive maintenance is to help you get the longest safe, reliable usage out of your vehicle.

While preventive maintenance services might take up some of your time and cost a little money now, the pay-off for keeping up with your scheduled maintenance really does make it worth your while in the long run.

Preventive Maintenance Services

Below you'll find a list of popular preventive maintenance services that we perform and information on what the service entails.

• Air Filter Replacement: Your gas or diesel engine needs air, specifically oxygen, to run. Before the air gets to your engine, however, it needs to be cleaned to prevent small debris and dirt from getting inside. Enter the air filter. Considering its rather important role, it makes sense to replace your air filter as needed. When exactly is needed? This depends on how heavy you drive your vehicle and how dusty or debris-ridden the outside air is. You can consult your owners manual to see the recommended time frame, and you can always have us check it out quick to see whether you're still good or not.
• Fuel Injection: Your car's fuel injectors are responsible for spraying a mist of fuel for your engine to burn. Unfortunately, they tend to become dirty over time through normal use. A dirty fuel injection system can cause a loss in vehicle performance. Have your system and injectors checked to prevent misfires, poor acceleration, and rough idling.
• Oil & Filter Change: Motor oil lubricates many different components in your vehicle, ensuring they don't cause damage, and your oil filter prevents any debris from causing trouble. Oil changes are a well known maintenance service that most drivers are familiar with and that most new cars indicate through a warning light. Come into Highway 21 Firestone for your next oil change and oil filter replacement.
• Spring Checkup: During a spring checkup, your car is inspected to make sure it's ready for the hot summer months ahead. During this service, we'll check your battery (bad winters tend to shorten battery lifespans), see if you need to swap your winter tires, check your tire pressure, and give other important components an inspection to make sure you're good to go.
• Winterization Checkup: If you've heard the phrase "winterizing your car," it refers to this service. Winter months and freezing temperatures can do a lot of damage on a vehicle. During a winterization checkup, we'll test your battery to determine it's chance of survival in the months ahead, see if you have snow tires installed, check the type of oil you have, and review other important components that could lead to trouble if left alone.
• Mileage Service: To stay in warranty, most manufacturers require that you have your vehicle checked at different mileage intervals. Check out our more detailed preventive maintenance page to see popular intervals from 7,500 miles to 180,000 miles.

If you really want to get the most value out of your vehicle and safeguard against expensive repairs in the future, preventive maintenance is the way to go. Contact us to get started.
