Keeping your car properly maintained and serviced can help prolong the life and value of your car. It can also prevent more serious and costly repairs. Our auto repair shop technicians have put together a car maintenance checklist to consider when your car reaches 60k miles.

Here are some important car services to look into:

Spark Plugs Service

A faulty spark plug can affect your car’s ignition process and can prevent it from starting. We recommend checking and replacing your spark plugs every 30,000 miles depending on the type of vehicle. 

Engine Cooling System Service

Your car engine’s cooling system prevents your car from overheating. It also protects a few important parts of your car like the radiator, water pump, and Thermostat. Make sure your old coolant or antifreeze liquid is flushed out and replaced with a new one to ensure optimum performance. 

Transmission Fluid Service

Your car’s transmission system is one of the most important parts of your car. It helps power your vehicle. It is also one of the most expensive parts to repair and replace. Similar to an engine coolant, your car’s transmission fluid also needs to be flushed out and replaced with a new one to prevent costly repairs that can range in the thousands of dollars.

Brake Inspection & Replacement

Your brakes are one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. Depending on how you manage and use your brakes, we recommend changing your brake pads every 10-20k miles and your brake rotors every 50k-70k miles.
