Tips for Saving Money on Vehicle Maintenance

For most people, purchasing a vehicle is a significant financial investment. To extend the life of your vehicle and obtain the best return, it’s important to stay up to date on oil changes and other preventive vehicle maintenance. A little TLC can prevent problems and minimize expensive repairs—it’s the best way to save money.

At Jiffy Lube, you never need an appointment; just drop by when it’s convenient for you. We provide a wide range of services, including oil change services with the choice of high mileage, conventional, or synthetic oil. Our Southern California oil change is preventive maintenance that includes a check/fill of tire pressure and essential fluids as well as an inspection of key engine components such as brake fluid, serpentine belts, and the engine air filter.

In between preventive maintenance services, it’s important to act quickly if you notice problems with your vehicle such as residue left underneath it while parked. This could signify an oil leak or a loss of brake fluid, which could result in expensive repairs if left undiagnosed. To save money on vehicle maintenance, it’s better to nip any problem in the bud.

For further savings, it’s possible to reduce your need for vehicle maintenance and minimize costs with adjustments to your personal driving habits and style. While behind the wheel of your vehicle, avoid sudden starts and stops and observe the speed limit. Also, maintain your vehicle’s tires and use the AC only when necessary.

Although some wear and tear on your vehicle is unavoidable, preventive maintenance, TLC, and changes in personal driving style can make a difference and help your vehicle attain high mileage status without breaking the bank. Invest in the life of your vehicle—drop by soon for vehicle maintenance like oil change services, and remember to bring your coupon.

Tire Rotations—Saving Wear On Your Tires and Wallet

Your tires play a large role in your vehicle’s overall safety and performance, and according to CostHelper.com, drivers spend on average between $80 and $150 on each tire. Though replacing tires is a necessary expense, it only makes sense to maximize the life of your investment with tire rotation services. At Jiffy Lube, we recommend you rotate your tires every 6,000-7,500 miles, depending on your personal driving style and local terrain.

Because a vehicle’s front tires (on front wheel drive vehicles) perform most of the braking and steering duties, they wear faster than rear wheel tires. Rotating your tires from one position to another allows each tire to perform different jobs resulting in more even tire wear—extending the life for all four tires, and saving money by avoiding prematurely worn treads.

In addition to saving you money on tires, regular tire rotation services have the following cost benefits helping you:

Avoid a costly accident—Preserving tire tread increases traction allowing for better braking in rain and safer driving in snowy conditions, reducing the chances of a crash.

Eliminate mechanical problems—Tires with unequal wear may cause road friction resulting in additional problems, like the loss of tire balance or front-end misalignment.

Increase vehicle performance—As adequate tire tread increases traction and stability, it decreases the work required for the vehicle to operate and improves gas mileage.

Jiffy Lube offers a wide range of vehicle maintenance services including tire rotation—performed according to your vehicle and tire manufacturer’s recommendations. Jiffy Lube’s tire rotation service includes a free re-torque of lug nuts/bolts when you return within 500 miles of your initial tire rotation service.

While rotating your tires, our Jiffy Lube technicians can also provide oil change services. A regular oil change, like tire rotation, is a smart investment in the life of your vehicle saving you money on costly repairs down the road. Save money and time when you combine vehicle maintenance services from your neighborhood Jiffy Lube.
