Oil Change

Engine oil is necessary to keep parts from rubbing together for smooth operation in Newport and to decrease damage. However, over time, oil can get filled with sludge from sitting for a long time or metal chips from friction.

Not regularly changing the oil can cause an overheating engine, lower fuel efficiency, and cause expensive repairs. Some signs engine oil needs service include engine knocking, foul smells, vibrations while idle, and a "check engine" light.

Brakes

You need your brakes to work smoothly, so you can safely stop your vehicle when you press them. Getting your brakes serviced regularly ensures the components don't wear, keeps the vehicle safe, and makes them last longer.

When brakes need servicing, they commonly make a screeching or grinding noise, pull to one side, or feel spongy. In modern vehicles, you may get a brake light warning when the brake pads are wearing out.

Tires

Since your tires are what move the vehicle, they need regular service to keep them safe. If you don't maintain them, you may get stuck with a flat or blown-out tire.

Tire rotation and tire pressure service ensure the tires wear evenly and make driving smoother and safer. Signs your tires need service include damaged sidewalls, excessive vibrations, uneven wear, and a tire pressure warning light.
