Tips for Maintaining Your Car!

Helping our customers is the most important thing to us here at Scranton Motors, so we decided to put together some helpful tips on how to maintain your car to keep it running for a good long time!

READY? Get out your notebooks, iphones, and ipads.... Lets get started!

1. Read your Owners Manual- Every car is different so reading the manual will give you the correct maintenance and safety information for your vehicle.

2. Keep all of your fluids clean and full! This means your Oil, Transmission, Coolant, and Windsheild washer fluid.

  3. Check your tire pressure. Letting the air get too low in your tires can lead to flat tires and more $ out of your pocket!

  4. Wash and Wax your car regularly. This can help prevent corrosion expecially during the winter months when there is salt and dirt on the roads.

  5. Replace your windsheild wipers at least once a year or the rubber blades.  Did you know you can purchase windshield wipers from our Parts Department?

6. Deal with problems as soon as they arrive. Procrastination on little issues could lead to big issues and put you and your family at risk (not to mention your wallet).

7. Once a year physical. Cars are just like humans and should go into a garage at least once a year for a check up to make sure everything is working as it should.

8. Tire rotation is extremely important, front and rear tire wear patterns are very different so rotating them helps to wear them all equaly. Regular tire rotations can help your tires last longer and keep money in your pocket longer!
