Regular maintenance is essential for a healthy vehicle, and there are a variety of ways that you can stay proactive about your vehicle's maintenance throughout the year. Below, we've provided several steps to follow that can not only help extend your vehicle's life, but also prevent expensive repairs in the future. Take a look.
Wash & wax your vehicle regularly.
Keep your fine luxury vehicle's exterior beautiful and protected by washing and waxing on a regular basis.
Don't forget the interior.
Just like the exterior, your vehicle's cabin will also get dirty, requiring a good vacuum and the removal of stains. If your vehicle has leather seats, you can use a leather cleaner and protectant to keep them looking their best. If your vehicle has upholstered seats, you can use upholstery cleaners and fabric protectants.
Keep an eye on your tires.
Good tires are crucial for a safe and smooth ride, so it's important to inspect them to make sure they have enough tread, have the right tire pressure and are rotated on a regular basis. Rotating your tires regularly will help protect your tires from uneven wear and reduce the chances of unexpected tire failure.
Fill up with care.
When filling up your vehicle, you should choose a gas station that offers quality fuel. You also don't want to fill up at a gas station when the fuel truck is there because sediment can be stirred up while the gas tanks are being filled. This may clog your vehicle's fuel filters and fuel injectors.
Keep up with oil changes.
It's important to get your vehicle's oil changed regularly. To find out how often you should have your vehicle's oil changed, check your owner's manual and schedule your next oil change with us.
Change the filters.
Your car's filters, including the oil filter, fuel filter, transmission filter and air filter, will all need to be changed at some point. Your owner's manual can tell you when each filter should be replaced.
Repair damage to your windshield as soon as possible.
We know you may be tempted to ignore a small chip in your windshield, but a small chip can become a large crack, causing your windshield to need replacing.
Use genuine OEM parts.
When replacing a part in your vehicle, only use genuine Genesis parts that were designed to meet the same standards of excellence as your vehicle. If you would like professional assistance, our Genesis experts are happy to help.
Make sure fluids are at the correct level.
It’s important to regularly check and maintain all fluid levels in your vehicle. Check your owner’s manual to learn how often to check your vehicle’s fluid levels. When you visit our dealership, one of our service technicians will be glad to assist you.
These are just a few of the ways you can keep your vehicle healthy and performing at its best. We're always here to help, so if you have any questions about your model's maintenance needs, don't hesitate to contact a member of our team or stop by our dealership at 750 Peachtree Parkway, Cumming, GA 30041.
