What Is The Importance Of An Oil & Filter Change
Many people are guilty of putting off oil changes because they don’t seem like a big deal, but clean oil and oil filters are essential in maintaining a healthy engine. Oil lubricates the multitude of moving parts within your engine, allowing it to run smoothly. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes gummy or watery, and doesn’t work as well. If left unchanged, old oil can cause expensive and inconvenient engine problems.
At Hays City Auto, we know oil and filter changes like the back of our hand. We will refill your oil levels and replace your oil filter. At that time, we will also offer a complimentary courtesy inspection to review the health and safety of your vehicle, where our experienced auto technicians visually inspect the major and minor systems within your vehicle.

Warning Signs For Suspension Service
Your suspension system is considered part of your drivetrain, and it is integral to your car’s functionality. Your car generates tremendous forces, vibrations, and inertia, and for the vehicle’s frame to properly withstand them, it must be finely balanced. Your suspension system provides this balance and ensures the smooth, efficient operation of your car.
Bad vehicle suspension can result in:
Unnecessary tire wear
Alignment problems and damage
Vibrations and noise
A healthy suspension and driveshaft system isn’t just important to your safety and the integrity of your car, it’s also money-saving. These systems contribute to fuel efficiency, which means more miles to the gallon and fewer trips to the gas station.
