Springtime is here! You might notice the emerging green grass, blooming flowers, and, unfortunately, potholes. Potholes are caused by the expansion and contraction of ground water after the water has entered into the ground under the pavement. These potholes can cause serious safety hazards and can damage your car causing expensive repairs. Large potholes cause instant damage to your tire and wheel while smaller potholes cause damage to your wheel and suspension resulting in future acceleration and alignment issues.
- Wheel alignment and tire balance: Potholes can end up creating uneven alignment in your tires. Tires that are not properly aligned can cause your vehicle to sway in different directions causing a reduction in your gas mileage and uneven wearing on your tires.
- Tire rotation: Tire wear can happen for a variety of different reasons - especially spring potholes! Occasionally rotating your tires can help extend the lifespan of your tires. Tire rotations are quick and efficient for our staff at Quick Lane - you don’t even need an appointment!
- Complete vehicle checkup: Our trained staff will take the time to give your vehicle a full inspection and provide you with a full vehicle diagnostic. This inspection will include inspection of tires, brakes, belts, and hoses. We also check coolant and oil levels.
- Brake inspection and suspension check: Potholes can pop up out of nowhere, requiring drivers to take quick action. Regular maintenance of your vehicle's brakes is extremely important since brakes are built to wear over time. Hearing any squeaking or grinding noises is a good suggestion that it is time to get your brakes checked.
