5 Tips for Better Performance

The Foundation of a Faster, Smoother Ride

You don’t need a race car to enjoy high-performance driving. Most vehicles on the road today are operating well below their potential due to deferred maintenance. Routine oil changes are the foundation of engine longevity and performance, ensuring that internal components move with minimal friction. Additionally, ensuring your brakes are responsive and your new tires are properly balanced maximizes your car’s efficiency and safety on the road.

Expert Strategies for Better Performance:

• Keep Your Oil Fresh: Motor oil breaks down over time, losing its ability to lubricate. Fresh, high-quality oil reduces engine wear and can even improve your MPG by reducing internal resistance.
• Replace the Air Filter: Your engine needs to “breathe” to create power. A clean air filter allows for the optimal air-to-fuel ratio, preventing sluggishness and poor fuel economy.
• Maintain Proper Tire Pressure & Alignment: Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, making your engine work harder. A professional wheel alignment ensures your car isn’t fighting itself as it rolls down the highway.
• Inspect Your Spark Plugs: Old spark plugs lead to incomplete combustion. Replacing them ensures your engine starts quickly and responds instantly when you hit the gas.
• Clean the Fuel System: Over time, carbon deposits can clog fuel injectors. A professional fuel system cleaning restores the spray pattern, improving power and reducing emissions.

Don’t Settle for “Good Enough”

A well-performing vehicle is safer, more fun to drive, and less likely to leave you stranded. By focusing on these five key areas, you’re not just maintaining your car; you’re optimizing it.
