2018 is here! You’ve probably come up with tons of resolutions by now, and you may have already broken some. One resolution you should have this year is to keep up to date with routine car maintenance! Toyota of North Charlotte is here to help you stay up to date with car maintenance in 2018!
Keep up to date with car maintenance in 2018
Routine oil changes
Oil changes are one of the most important things to do to keep up the performance of your car. Without it, you run the risk of your engine overheating and running into other performance issues. We recommend getting an oil change every 5,000 miles if you’re using conventional oil.
Keep your car waxed
Keeping your car wax is a great way to protect your exterior from the elements. The wax will help prevent the paint from fading, peeling, or cracking thanks to UV rays from the sun.
Car tire maintenance
Keeping up with your Toyota car tires is something you should strive for in 2018. Making sure you get things like wheel alignments, and keeping them inflated at the right psi will not only better your driving experience, it may optimize your fuel efficiency too!
Routine brake service
Our North Charlotte Toyota service team will be able to accurately inspect your brakes. They’ll let you know when it’s time for new brake pads, brake fluid, and more. Be sure to keep up with this car maintenance so you’re safe on the road!

Battery service
You don’t want to be stuck in a parking lot or on the road with a dead car battery. That’s why it’s important to keep up to date with battery inspections. You’ll want to look for signs of corrosion, swelling, or leaks. And be sure to replace your battery around every three years.
Replace your windshield wipers
Did you know that you should be replacing your windshield wipers every 12 months? It’s important to keep up to date with this because old wiper blades could leave you in a situation where you don’t have good visibility. This can be especially dangerous while driving in the North Charlotte rain! Luckily, changing out your wipers is easy, and can even be done on your own!
Get rid of your old filters
Replacing your engine and air filters when they get clogged and dirty will bring up the overall performance of your car. So be sure to have them replaced!
