Imagine your vehicle is like your body–if you don’t take care of it, don’t be surprised when unexpected problems arise. With routine oil changes, and keeping up with the proper maintenance, you are keeping a close eye on the health of your car. The experts at Tomasso Auto Swedish Motors work on all makes and models of cars. Susan, one of the owners, explains. “When it comes down to it, you’ve got to do your services. And you have to communicate with your technician about your car’s condition.” As the colder weather approaches, now is a good time to stop by and have your car winterized to make sure all your fluids are at the proper levels and your tires are in good shape.

With most of the East Side under construction, your tires are taking a beating with road debris and dips. It’s important to have quality tires to prevent punctures. Eric, a technician, says, “It’s harder to get a flat on a new tire, because you have tread blocks of solid rubber. On worn down tires the blocks are short and it’s easier to pick up something from the road.” Rotating your tires also extends their life, so you should request this service when you bring your vehicle in for oil. If you feel your car scraped an exposed man hole cover, or experienced any other jolt, it is wise to bring it in for a fast check to make sure the alignment isn’t affected.

While newer cars have lots of wonderful electronic conveniences, know that they also can drain your battery when you leave your vehicle unattended for periods of a week or longer. The folks at Swedish remind everyone to make sure their chargers are unplugged, and if possible to let friends or family run your car for a period of time when you are away. “It all depends on how cold it is,” Susan mentions. “Cold weather is kind of like a virus to the battery. And get AAA, because it’s worth it.” Bring your vehicle over to Swedish Motors for your next service check to protect its health and wellbeing.
