Your Acura left our dealership as a high-quality, well-crafted luxury car, but just like any other vehicle, it needs regular maintenance to keep that quality for as long as possible. The smooth, powerful engine performance, firm handling, smooth ride, and confident stopping power are all easy to take for granted when your Acura is brand new, but without proper maintenance from our Sutton Service Center near Milledgeville, it won’t way that way forever. Schedule your next service appointment with us today and we’ll make sure that your Acura model runs like new for years to come.
Keeping Your Engine Healthy
Modern engines may not need oil changes as frequently as older ones, but that doesn’t mean you can just forget about it altogether. Check your owner’s manual to find your Acura model’s recommended oil change interval and be sure to schedule your oil change at our service center to ensure you’re always on time. Ignoring your oil change is not only detrimental to the long-term health of your engine, but it can cost you both performance and fuel economy as well. Two things happen when you fail to change your oil – one is that your oil will become too thin to properly coat the interior surfaces of your engine, resulting in extreme friction, heat, and eventually physical damage that robs performance and can even kill the engine entirely. Two is that your oil filter can no longer filter contaminants, leading to sludge build up in critical passageways. This will restrict oil flow to certain parts of the engine, depriving them of oil and once again causing friction, heat, and wear.
Ensuring a Safe Driving Experience
Your brakes and tires are some of the most important safety features on your vehicle, since they are responsible for helping you avoid trouble ahead. Your brakes undergo constant heat cycling which causes the pads to wear, but the rotors should also be checked regularly to ensure that they have enough material to absorb and dissipate heat without warping. Warped brake rotors will not only cause an uncomfortable vibration when stopping, but they also reduce brake efficiency, meaning that it will take you longer to come to a stop than you’re used to. With brake service at our dealership we can help you stay ahead of potential trouble and always have the confident stopping power you need.
Meanwhile, your tires translate everything you do to the road below, and vice versa. Worn tires can’t grip properly, especially on wet surfaces. This can cause unpredictable handling at best, and make hydroplaning and accidents a near certainty at worst. Keeping good tires on your vehicle will ensure that you have stable handling and a safer driving experience both on dry and wet roads.
Shocks, Struts, and Alignment Services
You may think that things like your shocks and struts only affect ride quality, but they actually play a big role in both safety and overall handling. For example, if your front shocks become too worn, your car will pitch and lean when braking or cornering, resulting in extended stopping distances and lazy cornering response. That may not seem so bad at first, but when you need to stop to avoid hitting the person that pulled out in front of you or swerve to avoid an animal in the road, you’ll want all the response you can get. In addition, worn shocks can bounce over bumps, resulting in a loss of traction that can cause major problems. If it occurs while cornering you could slide off the road or spin your vehicle into a crash. Not only can our team help you diagnose and fix suspension issues, but our state-of-the-art alignment equipment means that you’ll enjoy predictable handling, even tire wear, and a comfortable ride for the foreseeable future.
