All Around Automotive Inc.

Change your oil every 3 months or 3000 miles whichever comes first. This will maintain proper lubrication for the engine to protect wearing parts.
Check the air in your tires once every month and keep them inflated to the proper pressure for better gas mileage and longer tire life.
Have your tires rotated every 5000 miles to maximize tire life.
Vehicles that have custom wheels installed will often have different size lug nuts or a wheel lock key that is a different size from the original set, so the lug nut wrench that came with the vehicle will not work in the event of a flat tire. In this case, a replacement lug wrench should be carried in case an emergency occurs on the road.
Vehicles with factory locking hubcaps, factory wheel locks or custom wheels that have wheel locks should always have the key in the vehicle in order to remove the lock in the event of a flat tire or a vehicle repair.
Check your lights and wiper blades monthly for all around driving safety.
Check oil and all other under-hood fluids monthly.
Check your antifreeze every 6 months and replace it every 12 to 24 months. Antifreeze not only protects the coolant from freezing, it raises the boiling point of the coolant for increased cooling capability in the summer and also contains additives to protect against corrosion, rust and electrolysis. These additives will wear out.
Check the brakes at every tire rotation and have them repaired immediately at the first sign of decreased performance, unusual noises or illuminated “Brake” or “ABS” lamps.
Anti-lock brake systems (ABS) were designed to help maintain control of the vehicle in a sudden-stop situation. These brakes were not designed to decrease stopping distances and will, under some circumstances, actually lengthen the amount of space required to stop the vehicle. Vehicles with the ABS warning lamp illuminated should be inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Always drive with caution and maintain adequate stopping distances with any vehicle.
All-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles should have the same brand, type and size of tire on all four wheels. Tire diameters vary slightly from different manufacturers and tire types. Most transfer cases have a slight amount of allowance to account for slight variances, but mis-matched tires can cause catastrophic failures on these vehicles.
Exhaust leaks should be repaired immediately since they allow the deadly carbon monoxide gas to enter the passenger compartment. This gas is odorless and can cause drowsiness, queasiness or under very prolonged and extreme conditions, even death.
Check the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle and perform the services at the proper intervals. Maintenance is critical for all vehicles and will help in preventing breakdowns and costly repairs.
Have your vehicle serviced by a qualified repair facility. A qualified technician that can alert you to potential trouble areas and necessary service should perform even oil changes and other basic maintenance. For example: when we perform an oil change here at All Around Automotive, Inc., we not only replace the oil and filter, we also lube the chassis as required, check and adjust tire inflation pressure as required, top off all under-hood fluids and perform a visual inspection. We also have state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, trained and certified technicians, up-to-date vehicle information including maintenance schedules and a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty to give you value for your dolllar.
