Just as we
dress differently according to the weather, our vehicles need to be kept
running at their peak performance according to the temperature outside. At Nick's
Precision Automotive, we believe our job in servicing your automobile
starts with providing you with the best advice we can on how to maintain
it. I do have one quick tip to share with you that I'm sure has happened
to you all before. Have you ever gone to open you car doors or windows
in frigid temps. and they were frozen shut? Well, you can prevent that
from happening by spraying silicone lubricant on the rubber weather
stripping around doors and windows. This will most certainly help them
from freezing shut.
Preventative
Maintenance
There has
been all sorts of discussion about preventative maintenance; such as
what needs to be done and when. Preventative maintenance is the key to
having an economical trouble-free vehicle. The following services are
recommended at the listed times or mileages. These recommendations are
only for preventative maintenance to avoid unexpected breakdowns and
extend the life of your car. Vehicle maintenance schedules differ from
vehicle to vehicle, so it is always best to consult your owner's manual.
