Import Preventative Maintenance in Minneapolis, MN & Surrounding Areas

Today’s vehicles may be built to last, but they can’t do it all on their own. No matter what make and model you drive, every vehicle requires preventative maintenance to keep it running smoothly for as long as possible. Much like your body requires a regular physical, your vehicle needs a regular check-up to see that everything is running properly and diagnose any small issues before they become costly catastrophes. The technicians at Uptown Imports are experts in all things vehicle maintenance from oil changes to brake inspections.

Oil Changes

A regular oil change is the easiest thing you can do to maintain the integrity of your engine. As engine oil ages, it breaks down and fails to lubricate engine components as it was designed to do. The general rule of thumb is to have your oil changed every 3,000 miles, but in reality, it depends on a variety of factors including the make and model of your car, driving habits, and the age of your car. If you are unsure of how often you should have your oil changed, consult with one of our expert technicians.

Automotive Fluids

Oil isn’t the only fluid that your vehicle relies on to run smoothly. Part of the regular maintenance required for your vehicle includes fluid checks and top-offs. Keeping fluids at the optimal level ensures that everything runs like clockwork.

Belts, Hoses, & Wires

Your vehicles’ belts, hoses, and wires may not seem so important, but they wear out just like any other part of the vehicle. It is a good idea to have them checked during your regular inspections and replaced every so often.

Tires

Tires don’t last forever, that is a given. Having your tires rotated, aligned, and monitored for wear and tear will prolong their lifespan and keep you safe from blowouts.

Brakes

A healthy braking system is crucial to the overall safety of your vehicle. Brake pads wear out over time and need to be replaced. When you come into Uptown Imports for routine service, ask our technicians to inspect your brakes. Replacing your pads on time not only keeps you from causing damage to your brakes, but it also keeps you and your loved ones out of a dangerous situation.
