These components and systems will last much longer when properly maintained. For instance, when antifreeze/coolant gets old it doesn't just freeze at warmer temperatures, it actually becomes corrosive and can eat away at gaskets and metal creating leaks and major repairs much sooner. Brake fluid will absorb moisture and will affect brake performance. Plugged filters and worn ignition components (spark plugs and wires) will greatly affect fuel mileage. Technicians here at Whitcomb Automotive will be glad to do any maintenance required on your car, truck, SUV, or crossover.
