What is car maintenance car really need 35K miles?
Submitted by roadside on Thursday, 28 January 20104 Comments
I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra has about 35,000 miles. I’ve never done anything in the car preventive maintenance, especially ignorance of exactly what would have been what hecho.Estoy start of the car use more in each direction, and I want to invest some money in them so that it works for safe and smoothly for a few years. What are some good services you can ask when I go to a mechanic, and that the services are usually wrong? Thanks!
just the usual checks, brake pads and disks, oil and lubes and fluids, belts and chains, spark plugs, lights and fuses.. a general checkup these are the main things you should look at and change if needed, if any thing else if broken, it should be under warranty
Replace
– Air Filter
-Coolant
Check and if nessicary replace
– DRIVE BELT (WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND A/CON)
– TIMING BELT
– MANUAL TRANSXLE OIL
– AUTOMATIC TRANSXLE FLUID
– BRAKE FLUID
– BRAKE HOSES AND LINE
– REAR BRAKE DRUMS/LININGS, PARKING BRAKE
– BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS AND ROTORS
– EXHAUST PIPE AND MUFFLER
– SUSPENSION MOUNTING BOLTS
– STEERING GEAR BOX, LINKAGE AND BOOTS/LOWER ARM BALL JOINT
– POWER STEERING PUMP, BELT AND HOSES
– DRIVESHAFTS AND BOOTS
– AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERANT
the first things that come to mind are the tires which could be weather checking and the timing belt. the belt should last 100k but its also 7 years old now so that is becoming a concern. by 35k the brakes may need some checking. cooling system may need new fluidflushing. tranny fluid needs to be checked if its an auto. otherwise a look at all fluid levels, belts, hoses, CV boots, struts, and underbody rust. perhaps a hook up to a computer scanner. a good shop should be able to check it out in a couple of hours since most of it is nothing more that an eyeball scan.
Every service that is recommended by the Manufacturer is explained in your owners manual. Dealers or auto repair places will try to sell you more..but buy what is needed.. These places will also give recomendations on needed repairs after inspecting your vehicle..usually a free inspection is given out if asked. Like a “27-point inspection”
