Taking care of one’s car is paramount. The old adage that says “take care of your car and it’ll take care of you” is absolutely true. The better your vehicle is cared for the better it will serve you. You can also increase your car’s life exponentially by giving it the TLC it needs. Whether you drive only locally or you endure long commutes to and from work, it’s important to remember that your car is experiencing everything you do but it’s also doing all the work as well. Taking your car in for oil and tire changes is extremely beneficial to your vehicle but it’s only the beginning. Your car will also need periodic tune ups, major overhauls, and the odd replacement part from time to time. Neglecting the needs of one’s car is folly and results only in much larger and expensive problems down the line.

El Cerrito Tires

You car’s tires are of tremendous importance. Worn and damaged tires can burst and cause damage or even accidents in the process. It’s also important to remember that tires must be rotated, balanced, and aligned periodically if a person wishes to get the most out of them. At Dana Meyer Auto Care we can help you with all of the aforementioned. We also replace tires and offer a wide variety of brands in order to give our customers multiple choices. Our team can also perform a tire inspection on your vehicle in order to determine just how worn they are and when you might want to consider replacing them.

El Cerrito Brakes

Keeping your car’s brakes in good working order is of the utmost importance and can be the difference between simply replacing your brakes and paying to have additional repairs done after old or worn brakes have caused additional damage. Of course we change brakes but we can also repair the damage neglect may have caused and even replace drums and entire brake systems. Moreover, we also perform brake inspections so as to ensure your vehicle is operating safely.

El Cerrito Oil Changes

Oil changes tend to be one of those things that car owners seem to let go. Neglect is never a good thing, especially as it pertains to a vehicle’s oil. Fresh and proper amounts of oil in a car not only allow an engine to operate but act as a protectant as well. Changing your car’s oil when your dashboard icon lights up or when your regular mechanic suggests you do is important and should never be left until you feel it’s time to have it changed. Dana Meyer Auto Care will help you protect your vehicle’s engine with quick and affordable oil changes.

Heating And Cooling System

A good heater or air conditioning system can be the difference between a comfortable ride and an excruciatingly cold or hot ride. Things only get worse in a car during long trips too so having an auto mechanic or specialist inspect and repair your heating and cooling system is important.

It doesn’t matter what type of car you drive, you want to get to where you’re going without shivering and sweating. Let Dana Meyer Auto Care address all of your heating and cooling needs.
