With Father's Day around the corner, there are many ways to show Dad you care.  If you're looking for a way to say, "Thank You," this Father's Day, here are a few easy ways to keep Dad's ride running smoothly:

Have the OIl Changed

Everyone needs oil changes, and they're vital to keeping your vehicle running safely and efficiently.  If Dad's due for an oil change, swing by the shop and take it off his to-do list.  This is an affordable way to save Dad some time and show him you're thinking about him.

Check His Vehicle's Wheel Alignment

Misaligned tires are unkind to your tires, and keeping them properly aligned can extend the life of your tires significantly.  Save Dad some money on tires by having his vehicle's alignment checked.

Replace His Windshield Wipers

Windshield wipers are small and can be easy to overlook until bad weather hits.  Ensure Dad's safety by having his windshield wipers replaced regularly--it's best to do so about once per year.

Bring His Vehicle in for a Tune-Up

How long has it been since a professional has looked at Dad's vehicle closely?  Taking his car in for a tune-up will keep his car in tip-top shape by letting an expert have a look.  Maintaining a regular tune-up schedule will help your vehicle last longer and get better gas mileage and performance.  During a tune-up, our technicians includes these elements:

• Replacing the air filter
• Replacing the fuel filter(s)
• Installing new spark plugs and replacing any worn spark plug wires
• Inspecting and installing a new distributor cap if one is needed
• Inspecting and installing a new rotor if the old one has cracks, burning or carbon build-up
• Inspecting the valve-cover gasket and adjusting the valves (on vehicles with adjustable valves)
• Checking and topping off all fluids
• Checking the battery and cleaning the terminals
• Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve replaced, if clogged

Making Dad's ride safer saves him time and money, and it shows you care.  Taking his car to the shop can make a big difference at an affordable cost.  Take a few minutes this Father's Day and show dad you're thinking about him.
