Each time your vehicle needs to slow down or come to a full stop, pressure on the brake is required. The ability to do this instantly can help drivers and passengers stay safe, as well as prevent accidents. Therefore, the braking system is a very important safety feature within any new, used or Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.
At Hendrick Motors of Charlotte near Concord, we know that some people aren’t too familiar with the importance of brake service. So if you would like to learn more about this topic, feel free to continue reading below!
Your car’s engine is a complicated machine that has many different parts that all work together to make your car run. The engine oil is important because it keeps everything lubricated and working smoothly. The oil eventually gets dirty because of all the dust and debris it comes into contact with while it's running through your engine. To make sure that your car, truck, or SUV keeps running smoothly, it is important to change the oil regularly to keep it clean.

Green means the system is working correctly or is currently in use
Yellow means that something is not working correctly—take extra care and head to our service center as soon as you can
Red means there is a serious and potentially dangerous problem—stop driving as soon as it’s safe to do so.
