Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance helps ensure the longevity and success of your vehicles. Inspections, repairs and maintenance help prevent small problems from becoming larger ones, which in the end helps your bottom line. If you only take in your vehicles when a problem becomes prevalent enough to notice, this can lead to more down time, which leads to less time on the road and a drastic decrease in productivity.

Effective preventative maintenance programs, such as the ones offered by Bradshaw's Auto & Truck Repair, include:

• A checklist of tasks performed
• Preventative maintenance schedules
• Inspection results
• Driver-noted issues
• Trained professional technicians

Oil Change

One of the most effective ways to make sure your vehicles are maintained properly is to have its oil changed regularly. Engine oil is what lubricates your vehicles’ engines, allowing them to run smoothly and last longer. The necessary frequency of oil changes has become a point of contention among experts. The best course of action is to check the owner’s manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations. If the “check engine oil” light comes on while driving, this is a strong indication that the vehicle is running low on oil. If this happens, bring your vehicle to Bradshaw's Auto & Truck Repair, where we will not only add oil but also check the vehicle for leaks.

Battery Services

The battery in your vehicle provides electrical currents, which are necessary to start the engine. Most vehicle batteries need to be replaced every few years, depending on the conditions in which you drive. Extreme weather, continued use of vehicle accessories and other conditions can lead to shorter battery life. Over time, your battery loses juice, and you may need to occasionally jump-start your vehicle in order to get it running. If your vehicle is showing signs of lessened battery life, such as delayed start time, you may need to get your battery replaced. The expert team at Bradshaw's Auto & Truck Repair can examine, diagnose and replace your battery as needed. You can trust us to service your battery and, if necessary, help you find and install the perfect new battery for your vehicle.

Filter Change

Your vehicle needs to run cleanly and smoothly in order to ensure a safe, comfortable drive. One of the best ways to make sure your vehicle’s engine runs well is to regularly replace its filters. Oil filters and air filters must be replaced at regular intervals in order to allow your engine to run at its maximum capacity and continue to carry large, heavy loads. By setting up a maintenance schedule with the team at Bradshaw's Auto & Truck Repair, you can make sure your filters are always replaced on time.

Fluid Flush/Exchange

In addition to replacing filters, you need to make sure the fluids in your vehicle’s engine are both at the right levels and the right consistency. Neglecting to regularly change the coolant, antifreeze and other fluids within your vehicle’s engine can lead to slower and more difficult driving. The experts at Bradshaw's Auto & Truck Repair will check your vehicle’s fluid levels and conditions and replace or refill them as needed.

Scheduled Maintenance

The team at Bradshaw's Auto & Truck Repair can help you put together a maintenance schedule to make sure your vehicle is always road-ready. Our experts will review your vehicle’s owner’s manual to ensure its parts are always replaced or maintained as needed, preventing costly problems.
