Ron Carter knows oil changes. That's why we recommend that
our customers receive an oil change once every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
Although, some of our newer models can drive up to about 7,000 miles on
one oil change. You can always check your vehicle owner's manual to find
the mileage for your vehicle.
How Often Should I Check My Fluid Levels?
Your vehicle runs with many fluids: engine coolant, power
steering fluid, brake fluid, motor oil, transmission fluid, and
windshield washer fluid. You or our service technicians can check your
vehicle's fluid levels once every 5,000 miles.
How Often Should I Change My Air Filter?
We suggest changing your air filter at least once every
20,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. If your vehicle is
equipped with a turbocharged engine, you may have to have it replaced
sooner than the 20,000 miles, depending on how much you drive.
How Often Do I Need to Get My Brakes Checked?
It is a good idea to get your brakes checked at least once
every 10,000 miles. If you hear any grinding or squeaking noises coming
from your brakes or it's hard to stop your vehicle, be sure to bring
your vehicle down to one of our service facilities as soon as
possible.
When Should I Replace My Brake Pads?
Your brakes and brake pads work together to help stop your
vehicle safely. You can replace your brake pads anywhere between 25,000
and 50,000 miles. Of course, this depends on your driving habits and the
model of your vehicle.
When Should I Replace My Car Battery?
Considering the various weather conditions and driving
habits, your car battery should be able to last up to 3 to 4 years. If
you feel like your vehicle is having difficulty starting, any of our
service technicians can inspect your car battery.
When Do I Need to Get a Tire Rotation?
Wondering when you need to get a tire rotation? You should
get a tire rotation once every 7,500 miles or once every six months,
whichever comes first. When you bring your vehicle in for routine car
maintenance, we'll rotate your tires for you.
How Much Air Pressure Should I Put into My Tires?
Pounds per square inch (PSI) can vary depending on what
vehicle you drive. The PSI can range between 30 and 35 but you can
always look at your vehicle owner's manual or the inside of your Chevy,
Ford, or GMC model.
How Often Do Tires Need To Be Replaced?
Tires are a huge investment and should be properly cared
for. Tires can usually last anywhere between 35,000-60,000 miles before
they need to get replaced. If you have questions about tire rotations or
changes, be sure to reach out to our service specialists.
Where Can I Find Auto Service & Repair Near Me?
You will find auto service and repair at any of our Ron
Carter locations. Ron Carter Autoland, Ron Carter Chrysler Dodge Jeep
Ram, and Ron Carter Ford are all conveniently located for our clients
throughout Houston and Pearland.
Do I Have to Schedule An Appointment To Get My Vehicle Serviced?
We recommend that you schedule a service appointment by
giving us a call or by booking online. If you have a specific day and
time that works out for you and your busy schedule, it is a good idea to
schedule your appointment ahead of time.
