LUCK OF THE IRISH

1. DON’T RELY ON LUCK: SCHEDULE REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Just like finding a four-leaf clover, keeping your vehicle in top condition requires a bit of effort. Regular maintenance is the key to preventing unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. From oil changes to brake inspections, staying on top of routine services ensures your vehicle runs smoothly and safely all year long.

2. AVOID BRAKE BLUNDERS: CHECK YOUR BRAKES

Your brakes are one area where you definitely don’t want to push your luck. Worn brake pads, low brake fluid, or squeaky brakes are all signs that your braking system needs attention. This St. Patrick’s Day, let us give your brakes a thorough inspection to ensure they’re ready to handle any sudden stops—whether you’re avoiding a pothole or a parade route!

3. KEEP YOUR TIRES HAPPY: CHECK ALIGNMENT AND PRESSURE

Properly aligned and inflated tires are essential for a safe and comfortable ride. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, reducing their lifespan and impacting your car’s handling. Before you head out to celebrate, make sure your tires are ready for the journey. If you’ve hit a few too many potholes this winter, it might be time for a wheel alignment check.

4. DON’T LET YOUR BATTERY RUN OUT OF LUCK

Cold weather can take a toll on your vehicle’s battery, and a weak battery could leave you stranded when you least expect it. This St. Patrick’s Day, have your battery tested to ensure its fully charged and ready to go. If your battery is showing signs of age, consider replacing it before it runs out of luck.

5. STAY COOL: CHECK YOUR COOLANT LEVELS

As the weather starts to warm up, it’s important to keep your engine cool. Low coolant levels can lead to overheating, which can cause serious damage to your engine. Make sure your coolant levels are topped off and your radiator is in good condition so your car can handle the spring and summer heat.

This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t leave your vehicle’s health to the luck of the Irish. By taking a proactive approach to maintenance, you can ensure your vehicle is ready for any adventure—whether you’re heading to a parade, a party, or just enjoying a drive through town.
