When you are in a car accident, taking your car to an auto body shop is expected, but that’s not the only time you should go. To avoid major auto body repair problems later, you should come to C & H Body & Fender Inc. now and get these three major maintenance checks:

• An oil change: Having dirty oil in your car reduces the friction of all the working parts and can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle that could cost you big in the long run. To be on the safe side, get your oil changed every 1,000 to 3,000 miles.
• Have your tires checked out: Though tires are built to last, getting a routine rotation and suspension realignment can not only improve your tire’s performance but also prevent possible collisions and blowouts that you want to avoid. If your tire treads look uneven or your car seems to be leaning to the right or left when you drive, then it is time to come into the body and paint shop.
• Get your battery tested: While modern car batteries need little in the way of maintenance, it is a good idea to have it tested by a mechanic every once in a while to see if it is holding up or if you need a new one. Having it charged will also help your car’s performance immensely.
