When you’re driving along in your truck and there’s something that just feels off, whether it be a feeling, a sound, or a smell, or if it just starts acting funny. This can raise red flags for you and be a cause of concern. In addition to the possibility that it could be an expensive or timely repair, it could put your truck out of commission for a while. This can be challenging; especially if you depend on your truck for work, business, if it’s your daily driver, or you just want to haul your toys around. There are so many things to consider when it comes to repairs on your truck, and this is why regular truck maintenance is so important to keep your truck healthy for the long haul.

One of the best ways to keep your truck running as smooth as it can is with routine service using genuine parts that are for your specific make and model. Things like motor oil, batteries, brake pads, and so much more can make a huge difference. If you don't do these things regularly, you will increase the chances of things wearing out or even breaking much faster. Routine oil changes and tire rotations, although somewhat daunting (especially if you drive a lot and must do them regularly) are the first step in making sure that your truck stays in tip top shape.
If you feel like something is wrong with your truck, take these steps:
-Some issues will be consistent no matter what you do with your truck. Sometimes those symptoms, like a noise, a change in handling, or an unusual sensation driving the truck, can occur only under certain specific circumstances. Things like a specific speed or in a particular drive train mode can be frustrating. Make note of all these things, no matter how big or small, because then it’s easier for a technician to replicate and diagnose the problem if there are a specific set of problems. Our mechanics are trained to deal with these issues and can usually figure out what is wrong in a short amount of time if all the information adds up. This can also save you labor time when it comes to diagnosing an issue.
-Doing things like routine oil changes and multipoint inspections, as well as tire rotations can also help your truck in the long run. These things may seem silly or like they can be too much, but we guarantee that they are essential to the life of your truck.
