MINI vehicles are nimble, quick, comfy, and terrific fun to drive. However, without proper MINI maintenance, your car’s overall performance will soon diminish, and with it, your driving pleasure. Keep your car’s power, handling, braking, shifting, suspension, and fuel efficiency optimized with the following essential maintenance services at your local MINI dealership.
Maximizing Your MINI’s Performance: 7 Essential Service Tips
Replace Worn-Out Brake Parts
Brake pads and rotors steadily wear away. You’ll usually need to replace your brake pads most frequently, every 25,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on how much you use your brakes. It’s also important to have your brake pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid lines inspected by a technician at least twice a year.
Rotate and Replace Your Tires
Tires rarely wear down perfectly evenly. You can combat uneven tire wear with routine rotations at your local dealership, which extends tire lifespan. The air pressure in your tires also needs to be checked monthly, and excessive wear or damage to tires should be addressed immediately.
Refresh Your Oil and Coolant
Car engines are kept in good working order by both the coolant and motor oil. Motor oil typically needs to be changed twice a year. Coolant lasts longer but should be regularly inspected, topped up, and exchanged for special winter coolant toward the end of the year.
Check All Vehicle Fluids Frequently
You’ll also need to keep an eye on the transmission fluid, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and differential fluid. If any of these fluids diminish or start to degrade, your car will begin to malfunction.
Inspect and Test the Car Battery
Car batteries tend to last from three to five years. Freezing New Jersey winters take a toll on car batteries, so it’s advisable to have your battery checked and tested before the coldest months.
Install New Windshield Wipers
Ordinary windshield wipers can also become damaged by the cold. You may need to replace your wipers for special winter wipers in November and then change them again when spring comes around.
Replace Clogged Air Filters
The engine and cabin air filter keep airborne contaminants out of your car. Both filters should be checked periodically and changed when they become too clogged up, usually once a year.
