Car Care Tips

Calgary service centers have a menu board that lists the services they provide. Some Alberta drivers may not be familiar with all of the items on the board so here is a quick description of some of the typical services that might be listed.

Lube Town fuel system cleaning: Over time, the vehicle fuel system gets gum and varnish built up. A fuel system cleaning gets rid of that and cleans out the fuel injectors. Saves gas, by the way.

Lube Town headlamp replacement: Halogen and standard headlamps gradually fade. It's usually good to change them every year or so.

Lube Town Visual inspections: Alberta drivers get inspections for many reasons. Maybe they're going on a trip or just want to make sure their vehicle's ready for a Calgary summer or winter. Maybe they just bought a used vehicle and want to give it the once over. A Visual inspection may reveal some things that are broken or are getting close to having a problem.

Lube Town oil change: There are several options: Some Alberta centers offer just an oil change and new filter as an option. Most will also check and top off all of your other fluids and do a quick visual inspection with a full service oil change. In my way of thinking, the full service option is best because it makes sure you have adequate fluids and may uncover an emerging problem. There may also be options for higher mileage fluids or an upgrade to synthetic oil.

Lube Town PCV valve replacement in Alberta: PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve. It's a little part that releases pressure from the engine. It can get gummed up and that can lead to engine damage. It just needs to be changed now and then.

Lube Town power steering service: Often overlooked. Your friendly and knowledgeable Lube Town technician will evacuate the old fluid, clean out the system and replace it with clean fluid. Keeps the vehicle system running well for a long time.

Lube Town transmission service: This involves removing the transmission fluid and replacing it with clean fluid. It's like an oil change for your transmission.

Lube Town tire rotation on the Rims : The tires are rotated (Tires on the Rims) from front to back using the recommended rotation pattern. This helps tires wear more evenly. Helps the ride and saves tire wear.
