As 2018 comes to a close, people want to wrap up the year on a strong point. Get your vehicle maintenance and repairs done now so you can head into the new year with a clean to-do list. And remember, purchases made for a business are tax deductible. If your business (including a farm or ranch) needs anything, now is the time to get that done. 

Some top things to do by the end of the year:

1. Get your oil changed - oil change and oil filter replacement are one of many preventative maintenance services that help promote maximum vehicle performance.
2. Rotate your tires to prevent uneven tread wear.
3. Wash your car - did you know that Staley’s has a car wash?
4. Replace your windshield wipers. Because they are located on the outside of your vehicle, wiper blades are prone to wear and will require replacements in time. Even if they are not heavily used, the blades should be replaced regularly because the material they are made of has its own lifespan.
5. Test your vehicle’s battery. Without a working battery, your vehicle won’t start. Winter is not a fun time to realize your battery is old!
6. Inflate your tires to their recommended PSI. Tires operating below inflation standards put the overall performance of your vehicle and the safety of your passengers at risk.
7. Check vehicle, tractor, and trailer tires for signs of damage or wear. There’s nothing worse than getting a flat tire mid-travel. If you encounter a flat tire while you’re on the road, we’re here to provide patches and repairs. If the tire is irreparable or you prefer a new one, we can install a replacement or spare tire on-site.
8. Clean or replace your air filter. A dirty air filter can negatively affect gas mileage and make an engine run roughly.
9. Replace worn belts. Your vehicle’s belts and hoses are involved in processes within the cooling system, air conditioning system, charging system, and engine. These belts and hoses play crucial roles in functional operations inside your vehicle.
10. Clean your headlights and interior window surfaces. Staley’s offers detailing and window cleaning services.
