Oil Change 

Volkswagen oil change at Volksagen of Spartanburg

If you’ve traveled more than 5,000 miles in the past few months, then it may be time for your next oil change. Replacing the oil in your engine allows it to run properly and last longer. Clean oil removes dirt and dust from the motor and lubricates and cools down its components, which prevents friction and overheating. You can also save money at the pump – an engine that’s operating as it should enhances your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Invest in a VW oil change regularly to take care of your engine now to avoid expensive repairs later. 

Cabin and Air Filter Replacements 

As the weather warms up for spring, you may find yourself blasting the A/C more often throughout your commute. It’s important that the air you and your passengers are breathing in is as clean as it is cool. If your vehicle has racked up another 15,000 to 30,000 miles, then consider replacing the cabin filter, which protects the inside of your car from dust and other types of outdoor debris. When you schedule your oil change at the Volkswagen Service Center near Greenville, ask our team of technicians to replace the engine air filter as well, preventing debris from infiltrating beneath the hood of your vehicle. 

4-Wheel Alignment

Before you set off for your spring road trip, you want to make sure everything is lined up, including all four wheels on your car. Schedule a 4-wheel alignment at our dealership if your steering wheel shakes when you accelerate or you struggle to drive straight on the highway without your vehicle veering in either direction. A 4-wheel alignment adjusts the steering and front and rear suspension so you can maintain control of your vehicle and your tires can gain optimal traction on the road. If you’re thinking about buying new tires in Spartanburg this season, then consider an alignment to protect your investment.  

Brake Pad Replacement 

Brake replacement at Volkswagen of Spartanburg

After your vehicle has spent 25,000 to 50,000 miles on the highway, it may be time to inspect the brake pads, which ensure your car eases to a stop when your foot presses the pedal. Your brake pads will also let you know they need replacements if you hear squeals of protest every time you slow down at a traffic light or a stop sign. Consider this service to better control your speed when you’re behind the wheel, especially on the slippery road conditions that come with spring showers.
