Just like our bodies, cars must periodically undergo checkups to make sure that all parts are up-to-date and working as they should be. Eventually, parts will go bad and need to be replaced or repaired. Tires are a great example.

Failure to change tires when they are damaged from wear can lead to many car problems. That is why a visual check on them is crucial to maintaining normal automobile efficiency. Since tread wear alone will not be enough for some motorists to consider an immediate tire change, it is suggested that a thorough and detailed examination be performed. 

The service technician at the corner auto shop says to change your oil every 3,000 miles, but your owners manual says 7,500. Who should you trust in this situation? For a while, everyone recommended 3,000-mile oil service from technicians.

Automakers have tested these recommendations and they report their overall findings in your owners manual with regard to oil changes. Unless the driver is going off-road or taking routine trips less than 10 miles, they don’t need that 3-month service oil change.

As you get ready to travel to your holiday celebration venues, be careful with the way you pack and carry food in your car. Our automobile professionals at Land Rover Southwest Houston advise that motorists driving over long distances should put the food, soup, and pudding in non-spill dishes first.

To deliver the packaged dishes safely, seal and tighten the lids of the containers into which you put your meals. Using an electrical wire masking tape can ensure that your food and drinks do not spill along the road. Put the dishes in cardboard boxes before you place the containers…

Fluids are necessary for humans to live on planet earth, just like virtually every other living thing on the third rock from the sun. Just as humans require water, modern vehicles of today's age require several unique types of fluid, all of which must be present to have a functioning and safe vehicle.

Tire tread is extremely important for your Houston adventures. You depend on your tires to keep you safe on the road, and in order for your tires to be able to do their job, they need to have a good amount of tread on them. The Land Rover Southwest Houston service team can assist with your tire maintenance.

Tires have a certain amount of time that they should last, and if they wear unevenly, you will be replacing them a lot sooner than you should be. That gets expensive!
