🚗 Basic Vehicle Maintenance Checklist (Save & Share!) 🔧 Keeping your vehicle in good shape doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a solid checklist of things you should be checking regularly: 🛢️ Fluids (Check Monthly or Before Long Trips) - Engine oil (level & condition) - Coolant / antifreeze - Transmission fluid - Brake fluid - Power steering fluid - Windshield washer fluid 🔋 Battery - Check for corrosion on terminals - Make sure connections are tight - Test voltage if vehicle is slow to start 🛞 Tires - Tire pressure (including spare) - Tread depth & wear pattern - Look for cracks, bulges, or punctures - Rotate tires every 5,000–7,500 miles 🛑 Brakes - Listen for squeaking or grinding - Check brake pad thickness - Pay attention to vibration or pulling 💡 Lights - Headlights (high & low beam) - Brake lights - Turn signals - Reverse lights - Interior lights 🔍 Belts & Hoses - Look for cracks, fraying, or leaks - Squeeze hoses to check for softness or brittleness 🌬️ Air Filters - Engine air filter - Cabin air filter 🧊 Cooling System - Check radiator and hoses for leaks - Make sure fans are operating properly 🧽 Wipers & Washer System - Inspect wiper blades for wear - Ensure washer nozzles spray properly ⚙️ Suspension & Steering - Listen for clunks or squeaks - Check for uneven tire wear - Pay attention to steering feel 🚘 General Walkaround - Look for fluid leaks under vehicle - Check for rust or damage - Make sure nothing is hanging loose underneath 📅 Bonus Tip: Stick to your manufacturer’s service intervals for things like spark plugs, timing belts, and transmission service. Regular checks = fewer breakdowns, safer driving, and longer vehicle life. If you have any questions about these services or how to perform them, please reach out you can send me a direct message or comment on the post. Everybody have a great day and be safe.
