Regardless of if you’re in the office, at the mall or at home, stay on top of washing your hands.

October is car care month. And while most of us drivers often neglect servicing their vehicle, this week we want to stress to you that it’s very important that you don’t skip on that service. Why? Well, of course, changing temperatures and seasons can sometimes put is through some pretty crazy weather. And it’s crucial that our vehicles stay on top of service and are healthy and ready to perform when needed most. This week, we want to share a few services that are most important for your vehicle and we even have a service offer for you to save with! So, let’s get things started! Five Important Services Your Car Wants: Oil Change - of course, this one should be obvious but sometimes it’s not always so obvious. We recommend having your oil changed every 3k to 5k miles. But your vehicle’s owner’s manual will be able to give you a better estimate. PSI Check - your vehicle’s tire pressure is very important no matter what season it is. It’s very important your PSI is at proper levels and it’s easy to check & fill up. Be sure to check in the morning for a more accurate read. Tire tread - again, another tire service that could really lead to dangerous situations if you’re not paying attention to your tire’s tread. If your tires are balding or hardly have any tread left, it’s time to upgrade and the team here at Simi Valley is ready to help you! Dirty filters - if you have a hard time breathing when behind the wheel, it could be because of dirty air and engine filters. We recommend cleaning or changing each time you receive an oil change. This will cut back on pollen and allergens that are making their way inside your cabin. Windshield wipers - these bad boys are important and we often overlook them. Old windshield wipers can hinder your view when behind the wheel and that can put you, your passengers, and other drivers in dangerous situations. We recommend changing these every 6 months & choose wipers for specified seasons. October Service Offers: Buy 3 Tires, Get 4th For $1!* So, like we said your tires could probably use some love this October and we have an offer that will help keep you safe while saving $$$. Head on over to our page to grab that coupon and be sure to schedule your next service appointment on the phone or give us a call today! We look forward to working with you.
