A car needs to be lubricated routinely to keep it in good condition. An oil change is one essential car maintenance strategy to keep your vehicle in good condition. The cost of changing oil is affected by the quantity of oil needed, type of oil, model of the vehicle, and the manner in which the oil is changed.

The frequency of changing oil depends on the age of the car. Due to the addition of computers as the central feature of your vehicle’s function, newer vehicles do not require the same form and frequency of maintenance as older cars do every 10,000 to 12,000 miles.

A tune up is an effective service performed on modern cars that typically involves changing the oil, replacing the engine air filter, replacing the spark plugs, flush services, and possibly a few other things as well. A tune up is typically advised when a car’s performance deteriorates or when the spark plugs need to be replaced according to the maintenance schedule.

For older or high mileage vehicles, additional tuneup services might include replacing the front oxygen sensor when the car gets poor gas mileage, replacing the fuel filter, and replacing the throttle body and the timing body.

The annual evaluation of all state-registered automobiles is known as a state inspection. Inspections encompass various components of your car that make driving on the road safe. Every component that could jeopardize your car’s safety is examined in Texas state inspections. Emergency lights, headlamps, and almost all other lamps are typically tested during a Texas state inspection. The braking system, horn, airbags, wheel components such as tire tread depth, and the exhaust system are also checked for flaws or abnormal behavior.

Yes, Kwik Kar performs wheel alignments. We change or adjust the wheel angles to your vehicle’s manufacturer’s guidelines. The primary goals of aligning the wheels are tire wear reduction and better tire contact with the road.

To determine whether your wheels require alignment, look for whether the vehicle is pulling in one direction, has a squeaky steering wheel, or has an uneven wear and tear.

The time it takes for a wheel alignment depends on the condition of your vehicle. It will take about one hour if the vehicle is in good condition. If the car is not in good condition, the alignment may take longer.

Tires should be well maintained and often rotated. Rotating tires is done to ensure the security of the drivers and pedestrians on the street. If you detect any warning signals like unequal tire wear, you should replace your tires. Additionally, tires are to be rotated per the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Brakes squeak for various reasons including insufficient lubrication on the brake drums and the material of the brake pads. Metallic-component brake pads, for example, squeal louder when they make contact with the motor.

Depending on the force applied to the brakes, the user’s breaking style may cause the brakes to squeak. If the brake is also exposed to moisture, it will most likely squeak. Worn-out brakes and a duct between the rotor and the brake pad could also be the source of your squeaking brakes.

Squeaky brakes should never be ignored. A little squeak may become a significant problem that may affect the safety of the passengers and road users. When you notice brake squeaks, ensure a well-qualified mechanic checks out your vehicle.
