Certified Maintenance on All Manufacture Warranties
New vehicle? No problem. LAD’S AUTO is authorized to perform all scheduled maintenance on your new vehicle according to your manufacturer’s warrantee. No matter what your make or model.
Staying on top of scheduled maintenance is the best way to steer clear of trouble. By being proactive, you can prevent small problems due to natural wear and tear from becoming bigger issues that will cost you more in the long run. Every vehicle manufacturer has a recommended maintenance schedule that outlines items that should be checked and potentially replaced.
Hint: You’ll find the warranty schedule in the manual provided with your vehicle. Don’t have it? Don’t worry… we can look it up!
The oil change intervals listed in your owner’s manual are subject to updates by the manufacturer. If you aren’t aware of the changes and don’t follow the updated guidelines – your manufacturer’s warranty may be void! Trust LAD’S to ensure you’re following the proper oil change schedule.
Oil Changes and Regular Service Packages
LAD’S recommends a basic service every 6,000 km (for oil change, filters, fluids etc.) We also provide regular service packages every 24,000, 48,000 and 96,000 kilometers to check key components that are essential to keeping your vehicle safe and running smoothly.
Maintenance Made Easy
Here are the most common maintenance items and why it matters.
Fuel System Cleaning
Fuel circulates through key engine components to power your vehicle. This service prevents the fuel system from getting clogged – to ensure proper performance and prevent potential damage.
Spark Plug Replacement
Engines require an electric spark to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture to power the engine. Replacing spark plugs keeps your vehicle firing on all cylinders!
Power Steering Service
Power steering fluid makes turning your steering wheel almost effortless. It is crucial that it is regularly drained and replaced to ensure proper operation and to remove contaminants.
Timing Belt Replacement
Your timing belt plays a key role in the fuel combustion process. If your belt breaks due to wear, your car won’t run. Most manufacturers recommend replacement every 100,000 km.
Transmission Flush
Your transmission sends power to your wheels. A transmission is costly to replace. Transmission fluid cools and lubricates the transmission and extends transmission life.
Transfer Case Service
Found in 4-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles, the transfer case distributes power to the front and rear-axles for steady traction. It uses fluids, which must be regularly replaced.
Wheel Alignment
Hitting potholes, curbs and bumps can misalign wheels and cause your vehicle to pull to one side or vibrate. It’s typically a minor adjustment that can be performed while you wait.
