Kefalas, who owns JK Volvo at 1587 E Walnut Street in Pasadena, said that the recent cold and wet weather highlights the fact carowners need to keep their transportation in tip-top shape.
According to Kefalas, regular oil changes, timing belt replacements (if applicable), checking belts and tensioners, inspecting brakes, and monitoring coolant hoses are all important maintenance tasks that should not be overlooked. By neglecting these critical services, car owners risk not only breaking down on the road but also causing significant and costly damage to their vehicles.
Kefalas also emphasized the importance of taking care of your loved one’s car as a thoughtful gesture of love. He suggested simple maintenance activities such as taking the car in for service, washing it, checking wiper blades and washers, making sure there are no warning lights on the dashboard, adjusting the parking brake, and filling up the gas tank.
Furthermore, Kefalas noted that many vehicle owners tend to forget about important preventative maintenance services such as tune-ups, spark plug replacements, and filter replacements. Neglecting these services can lead to reduced vehicle performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and even complete engine failure.
Kefalas’s advice for car owners is clear: prioritize essential maintenance services, take care of your loved one’s car as a gesture of love, and don’t forget about preventative maintenance to keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come.
