Oil Changes & Scheduled Maintenance

It is so easy to disregard the sticker on our windshield and the light on our dash, telling us that we’re due for an oil change. We tend to forget or push off oil changes and scheduled maintenance until the last minute, seeing them as just another errand to run. What we don’t realize is regular maintenance can have major affects on the life of our vehicles.

Our friendly service staff here at Guzman Automotive in Taylor, Texas want to meet all of your auto repair needs — from oil changes, tune ups, brake jobs and even total engine overhauls. We want to help you take the necessary steps to lengthen the life of your vehicle. A huge contributor to lengthening the life of your vehicle is performing routine oil changes and scheduled maintenance. The benefits are numerous, but let’s list a few.

• Increase Fuel Economy.
  Proper maintenance and service can play a major role in your car’s fuel mileage. A well-maintained car is a fuel-efficient car. Performing oil changes regularly can increase your fuel economy by 4%. It is true! Being sure you have clean air filters and getting your oil changed routinely reduces your fuel economy by reducing your car’s effort to run.

• Avoid Frequent Purchases.
  At Guzman Automotive it is important to us that your hard-earned money is not spent unnecessarily! Although it may seem excessive, you should rotate your tires at every other oil change appointment. If you will do this and maintain proper wheel alignment, it will inevitably cut down on uneven tread wear, which will help your tires last longer.

• Extend the Life of Your Car.
  Did you know that performing scheduled maintenance on your vehicle can extend the life of your car by 50%? A study with The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence shows that regular service and maintenance is essential to getting the most life out of your vehicle and maximizing the reliability of your vehicle.

Although the weather has been unpredictable this year, it is important that your vehicle is ready for all that is ahead. Whether you are due for an oil change or you can’t remember the last time anyone has performed scheduled maintenance on your vehicle, we invite you to stop by our full-service auto repair shop off of Highway 79 in Taylor! Come see us today to receive service as it should be.
