Taking care of routine maintenance is one of the most effective ways to avoid costly repairs. At Naylor’s Auto Repair, we help Boise drivers stay ahead of issues with proactive maintenance services that protect your engine, extend the life of major components, and improve overall safety. A few small steps throughout the year can save you significant time, money, and frustration later.
Minor issues can quickly turn into major repairs if left unattended. Staying proactive helps:
Reduce repair costs
Improve fuel efficiency
Prevent breakdowns
Extend the lifespan of your vehicle
Improve safety and driving performance
Regular maintenance gives you peace of mind and keeps your vehicle running smoothly in all seasons.
Oil is essential for engine protection. Dirty or low oil can cause serious engine damage that costs thousands to repair.
We recommend checking oil levels monthly and changing your oil based on your manufacturer’s recommendations and driving habits. Most modern vehicles use synthetic blend or full synthetic oil, which usually requires service intervals between 5,000 and 7,500 miles.
Our technicians help ensure your vehicle is using the correct oil type and interval based on your make, model, and mileage.
Proper tire rotation helps your tires wear evenly, improves safety, and extends tire lifespan.
Signs you may need a rotation include vibration during driving, uneven tread wear, or inconsistent tire pressure.
A simple rule is to rotate or check your tires each time you come in for an oil change. This helps maintain stable handling and reduces long-term tire expenses.
Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems in your vehicle.
If you hear squeaking, grinding, or feel shaking when braking, or if your brake pedal feels unusually soft or stiff, it is time for a brake inspection.
We recommend having your brakes inspected every 10,000 miles. Regular brake checks help prevent more expensive component failures and ensure your vehicle can stop safely when needed.
Tune ups are part of every vehicle’s long-term maintenance schedule. The interval depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and age.
During a tune up, we inspect fluids, belts, hoses, ignition components, filters, and run diagnostic checks. This service is especially important for higher-mileage vehicles and helps keep your engine running at peak performance.
Our team can help determine the ideal tune up schedule for your vehicle.
Your suspension system includes shocks, struts, and springs. It affects ride comfort, stability, and vehicle control.
Because suspension components wear slowly over time, many drivers do not notice issues until the ride becomes rough or unsafe.
We recommend having your suspension inspected annually. Depending on wear, shocks or struts may eventually need replacement to prevent further damage and ensure safe handling.
Staying proactive with your vehicle’s maintenance can save you hundreds each year, while unexpected repairs caused by neglect can cost significantly more.
Our team at Naylor’s Auto Repair is here to help you stay ahead of problems and maintain a reliable, safe vehicle for years to come.
Most drivers benefit from a checkup every 5,000 miles, which often aligns with oil changes. We can help determine the right interval based on your vehicle and driving habits.
