Count on Us for Regularly Scheduled Maintenance

Keeping up with your vehicle's preventative maintenance schedule is the best way to prevent long-term, costly problems from occurring. Read your vehicle's owner's manual to find your maintenance schedule and ensure you're doing all you need to do to keep your vehicle in tip-top shape.

Every make and model is different, so it's best to refer to your unique vehicle's manual. However, there are times where common sense should override your manufacturer's recommendations. For example, if your manual says you should change the coolant at 60,000 miles but it tests well and is full and clean, the manufacturer's recommendation may not be appropriate for your driving habits.

In the same vein, if your manual says the coolant should be changed at 60,000 miles and your coolant tests acidic at 50,000 miles, it should be changed immediately.

As one of the top professional auto repair shops in Streator, IL and the surrounding area, The Auto Clinic Repair and Towing Inc will take care of your vehicle.

Schedule a Routine Oil Change

Engine oil lubricates a car's engine and allows it to run smoothly. Changing your vehicle's oil and using the appropriate oil for your make and model will ensure a long life for your car's engine.

Changing your car's oil is an important part of routine vehicle maintenance. Be sure to check your vehicle's owner's manual to find out how often the manufacturer recommends the oil to be changed.

At The Auto Clinic Repair and Towing, we complete FREE inspections of your vehicle with every oil change. We perform a thorough inspection to help catch problems before they require expensive repairs.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component of your vehicle and shouldn't be ignored. They affect your vehicle's traction, handling, steering, stability and braking ability. Sudden tire failure can have serious consequences. See below for more information about tire pressure:

Nearly 250,000 accidents occur in the United States per year due to low tire pressure.
About 75% of roadside flats are preceded by a slow leak or under-inflation.
According to a recent survey, America could reduce its fuel consumption by 10% and save a collective $2 billion a year by keeping tires properly inflated.
The NHTSA estimates that tire pressure monitoring systems could prevent as many as 79 deaths and 10,365 injuries each year in the United States.

There are a large number of annually recorded fatal accidents due to blowouts or flat tires. Bring your vehicle to The Auto Clinic Repair and Towing to have its tire pressure and tire wear checked for FREE. Our technicians use a special diagnostic tool to test and recalibrate sensors any time a tire is moved from one location on your vehicle to another.

These sensors must be tested periodically to make sure they are functioning properly and should also be reprogrammed whenever tires are relocated during rotation. Sensor service kits, which include replacement parts to properly service the sensor, should be installed every time your tires are serviced.

The batteries that power your sensors typically have a life of six to eight years. These batteries are not replaceable, so the sensors will need to be replaced if your battery fails.
