Importance of Light Duty Truck Maintenance
Light Duty Truck Repair in Raleigh, NC
What Does Your Truck Do?
Unless you're one of the rare owners who purchased a light duty truck for the sole purpose of driving it as a "car," you have one or more special purposes for your transportation. Does your truck pull a horse trailer, launch your boat, haul landscape mulch, transport household appliances to your customers, hold the Little League team's baseball bags, or something else? Regardless of which task(s) your vehicle handles, it's important that you protect it with preventive maintenance services. Because the mental image of a truck is "tough," some drivers find it easy to neglect the care their automobiles need. This is never a good practice. Instead, whether your truck is domestic or Asian, hybrid or even a modern electric, let King's Auto Service in Raleigh, North Carolina, help you with mechanical upkeep.
Maintenance Matters
Similar to its passenger car counterpart, your light duty truck needs preventive maintenance services to operate efficiently over the long haul. One of the most important service points is the routine oil and filter change. This adds life to your engine because fresh lubricant is better at reducing friction, suspending dirt, and absorbing heat than is old, degraded oil. Other regular work should include fluid checks and changes, tune-ups, and brake work. Not only will your vehicle be more reliable and efficient, but it will operate more safely. These factors take on a heightened tone if you use your truck as a business vehicle. First, efficient operation saves on fuel costs. Second, you're less likely to experience a breakdown, saving lost revenue from missed deliveries or service calls as well as wages paid to employees who are sidelined due to a loss of transportation. Finally, proper maintenance and timely repairs may be your best legal defense if a truck used in your business is involved in an incident.
