Maintenance Tips for High Mileage Vehicles in Chantilly, VA

We'll Service Your High Mileage Vehicle!

If you have a set of wheels that has aged considerably after taking it to Richard W. Jones Park many times, then you’ll need to know the different ways to make sure that it is in proper condition. Let us know if you are in need of answers to questions while reading this summary about various service tips. We’re able to let you schedule a visit!

Oil Changes

One of the ways to make sure that your high-mileage vehicle is properly able to run as you cruise to Flatlick Stream Valley Park is by making sure that it has regular oil changes performed. Consider searching for motor oil that is specifically designed for these types of autos, since these fluids can help prevent fluid from seeping out of the powertrain. Also, oil changes are essential for making sure that the small components in your auto are not making direct contact with each other and creating friction that could damage themselves. Also, this service allows your vehicle to drive efficiently, meaning that there's less cash to invest in fuel refills.

Transmission and Brake Fluid Checks

Another important detail to make sure that your high-mileage used Honda Accord or Ridgeline is working well is to have the transmission and brake system inspected at our service bay. The latter carries fluid that needs to be periodically flushed out after about 30,000 or 45,000 miles, so a high-mileage vehicle with an older system might need this performed soon. After all, it is this liquid that supplies the stopping force needed to come to a halt. Likewise, the transmission’s liquid could also reach a point where it may need to be swapped for a fresh batch after about 45,000 miles, which might vary if you have a Honda model with a different service interval for this system.

Exterior Care

Finally, it is pivotal that the outer shell of your used Honda CR-V or HR-V is well-maintained. As this vehicle travels thousands of miles through Chantilly and any other town, the sunlight beats down on the exterior so often that the paint tends to appear a bit faded due to oxidation from UV rays emanating from the sun. To protect the exterior from further damage, we advise that you have a car wax applied to your vehicle. Also, consider having any outside blemishes or dirt cleaned through a wash. So, stop by during our open hours for you to have your vehicle polished!
