Is your student trading the school bus for the car keys? Make sure your teen’s vehicle gets to campus safely with these maintenance tips for the back-to-school drivers in your family.
Tips from the pros at Orangeville Quick Lane:
1. Multipoint inspection. Prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs by having your teen’s vehicle inspected by our certified auto experts. A multipoint inspection includes critical safety components including the brake system.
2. Oil change and lube. Routine oil change services keep your student’s vehicle operating in peak condition. Oil change services are recommended every 8,000 - 16,0000 kilometers and more often for older vehicles.
3. Battery charge check. An older battery can go dead overnight on those first cold nights in fall. Help your student avoid getting stranded making sure their vehicle battery can handle the approach of Ontario winter.
4. Tire inspection and rotation. Four hand-sized patches of tread keep your teen’s vehicle from slipping. Make sure there is enough tread for round trips to and from school, especially if they are traveling long distances to university.
Regular rotations help extend tread life. If your vehicle needs new tires, Orangeville Quick Lane stocks all major brands at competitive prices.
