Expert advice, maintenance tips, and the latest news from our mechanics — keeping your vehicle running at its best in Southern Utah.
Essential Maintenance Reminders
Stay ahead of costly repairs with these straightforward maintenance habits recommended by our St George technicians.
Oil Change Every 5,000 Miles
Modern synthetic oils last longer, but routine changes prevent sludge build-up and extend engine life significantly.
Check Your Brakes Annually
Brake pads should be inspected at least once a year — more often if you drive in hilly terrain or tow heavy loads.
Coolant Flush Every 2 Years
Old coolant becomes acidic and can corrode your radiator, water pump, and heater core. A flush every two years is cheap insurance.
Monitor Tire Pressure Monthly
Utah heat can cause pressure to spike. Underinflated tires wear unevenly and reduce fuel economy by up to 3%.
Test Your Battery Each Fall
Cold snaps after a hot Utah summer are a leading cause of battery failure. A quick load-test can prevent a roadside surprise.
Transmission Fluid at 30–60k Miles
Automatic transmission fluid degrades over time. A fluid service at the recommended interval can prevent costly repairs later.
