Some useful automotive information from BMR Napa AutoCare; The Maintenance Free Myth

ROSEVILLE, Calif. - Jan. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Quality surveys report fewer problems with new cars than ever before. So does that mean that modern vehicles have become maintenance free?

Back when cars spent more time in shops, like BMR Napa AutoCare in Roseville and Antelope, California, drivers were more mindful of routine service. Now, it’s much easier to put it off.

Take tune ups for example. In the days of mechanical ignition systems, an engine needed to be tuned-up every couple of years. If your engine was out of tune, you knew it. It ran poorly and got bad fuel economy driving on CA streets and highways. Now, the ignition system is electronic and controlled by the engine management computer. Spark plugs rarely get fouled and will last for as much as a hundred thousand miles. So SUV tune-ups used to force you in for service and while you were there you just took care of whatever else was on the list.

So what’s the benefit to keeping up with factory scheduled maintenance at BMR Napa AutoCare at their shops in Roseville or Antelope?  Well, your SUV will perform better and return better fuel economy. Those benefits pay for the service as you go along. The big plus is that major repairs – and the associated breakdowns – are prevented. And these aren’t just repairs that are a long ways off. Modern engines are far more sophisticated and have many parts that are in critical need of proper lubrication. Missing just one oil change at BMR AutoCare can allow oil sludge to start forming. Sludge clogs small engine passages, robbing SUV parts of the lubrication they need. An expensive failure could easily occur within two or three years.

Taking care of the little things at BMR AutoCare prevents big problems with your SUV later. No motorist wants to be stranded by a breakdown while getting to or from work in Roseville, Antelope or any of the communities we serve.

Your vehicle still needs to be taken care of – it’s just that some of those points of care have changed with automotive advancements.
