Customer Care and Preventative Maintenance Tips
Many people's worst
fear when it comes to their automobile is having their car break down
or their transmission go out. But are you doing everything you can to
prevent major problems by going in for routine servicing? Here are a
few helpful facts and tips to lengthen the life of your car:
-
Vehicles
that drive in stop-and-go conditions and high-temperature climates
like Los Angeles are prone to having much higher wear than transmissions
of the same mileage which are used under "normal" or long-haul
highway conditions.
-
Mileage
isn't the best indicator of potential transmission problems. Rather,
it is the number of times the transmission goes through its start-up
and shift cycles.
-
Excessive
heat or cold, problems with snow or ice, and driving at steep inclines
can all adversely affect your transmission's performance.
-
Driving
in any of the above conditions (even stop-and-go traffic!) would most
likely mean your car wasn't driving at "normal" conditions
according to your owner's manual, and would need more frequent maintenance
checks than at the suggested 30,000 to 100,000 miles for "normal"
conditions.
-
Car
trouble doesn't always mean major repairs. We'll tell if it's a minor
repair or if something else may be the problem.
-
Often
times routine maintenance can be done the same day! Major services
or having your transmission rebuilt might take a few days, not to
mention costing a lot more .
-
The
average American has a transmission check-up once a year.
-
Bringing
your car in for regular servicing might be a minor hassle in the short
run, but it will save you major hassle in the long run -- guarenteed.
