We sell a variety of Cadillacs at Uebelhor Cadillac that are built to last. However, to keep them operating, they need routine maintenance. Here are some routine services we recommend that you get at our Jasper, IN location. Our expert technicians will know exactly what repairs or maintenance it needs.
Brake Service
Routine service for brakes is essential because they need to function properly in order to keep you safe. Brake pads and rotors produce the friction needed to stop your vehicle, but these parts can wear out.
Brake fluid is necessary to protect the brake system's parts from corrosion, so low fluid can cause dangerous problems. Your vehicle's manual includes a maintenance schedule, but you may need maintenance sooner based on your driving habits in. Common signs your brakes need servicing include your vehicle pulling to one side and screeching or grinding noises.
Oil Changes
Your engine oil functions keeps your engine, the heart of your Cadillac, running smoothly, so service is essential to keep the engine running. Oil helps to prevent the engine from overheating while you ride around Jasper, but it can get filled with sludge.
Some other signs your oil may need changing include oil smells, leaks, feeling the vehicle vibrating while idle, having trouble shifting gears, and hearing a knocking sound. Many modern vehicles are equipped with a check engine light to alert you when the oil needs servicing.
Tires
Your tires should be properly inflated and rotated to extend their lifespan. Tire rotation helps the tires wear evenly, which gives you a smoother and safer ride. If your tires don't get rotated, the treads won't maintain their grip on the surface, reducing traction and increasing the risk of skidding and sliding.
Proper tire inflation also helps the tires wear evenly and prevents friction between the road and tire to avoid blowouts. Tire inflation is even more necessary in cooler climates, as pressure drops further the more the outside temperature drops.
