If you’ve recently purchased a new car, you’ll likely be driving it for years before any serious work has to be done. Yet, part of keeping major auto work at bay is having regular preventative maintenance performed on your vehicle. The professionals at Foley Tire & Auto provide a wide range of maintenance options for drivers in the Foley, AL, area, including oil, lube, and filter services.

Here are some of the top tips from Foley Tire & Auto for keeping your new ride in the best possible condition:

• Have Your Brakes Checked: While your brakes should last you a while on your new car, there are some considerations to factor in when determining how often they should be replaced. For instance, drivers who travel hilly routes will wear through brakes much faster than those driving across flat distances. Since you should have your tires rotated every six months or so, the team at Foley Tire & Auto will be glad to check your brakes during that time, too.
• Maintain Oil, Lube & Filter Changes: One of the easiest mistakes a new car owner can make is forgetting to have the oil changed for the first time. That first oil change will sneak up on you, so consult your owner’s manual to see how many miles you can go before scheduling an appointment.
• Consider Getting Detail Service: Ensuring that your car runs well has many benefits, but part of the excitement of owning a new car is also having a spotless interior and a shiny exterior. The Foley Tire & Auto team excels at performing meticulous detail service and will be glad to make your car look as fresh as the day you bought it.
