Frequently Asked Questions

You should typically get your oil changed every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, depending on your vehicle, driving habits, and the type of oil used. Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your engine clean, lubricated, and running efficiently

To check your tire pressure, use a tire pressure gauge, which can be digital or manual. Unscrew the cap on the tire’s valve stem, press the gauge onto the valve, and read the pressure. Compare it to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) listed in your vehicle’s manual or on the sticker inside the driver’s door. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold — ideally before driving — for the most accurate reading.

It’s recommended to rotate your tires every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers or at every second oil change. Tire rotation helps ensure even tread wear, which extends the life of your tires, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances traction, especially on wet or slippery roads.

Yes! Oil leak can lead to serious engine damage if the oil level drops too low. Leaking oil may lead to other vehicle problems, such as damaged belts or hoses. If you notice oil spots under your car or smell burning oil, have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

Brake pulsation, often felt as a vibration in the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking, is usually caused by warped brake rotors. This can occur due to excessive heat buildup, improper torquing of the wheels, or worn-out brake components. When the rotors aren’t evenly smooth, the brake pads grip inconsistently, causing a pulsating sensation. Prompt inspection is recommended to ensure safe braking performance.

Rotating tires is important because it promotes even tire wear, which helps maintain proper traction and improves handling. Front and rear tires wear differently due to steering, braking, and drivetrain dynamics. By rotating them regularly, you extend their lifespan, enhance vehicle stability, and reduce the risk of uneven tread patterns that can lead to blowouts or poor fuel economy.
