Tips and Tricks for Car Maintenance in Baxley, GA

With so many parts in a modern car, it can be daunting to think about them all. However, with a few simple tricks and tips, you can learn enough to keep your investment at its peak performance.  

Start With The Basics

Start with your car's tires; your tires do a lot of work and over time they wear out, causing safety issues and lowering gas mileage.

One quick trick is checking the air pressure once a month. A simple way to remember could be to check on the same day you make your car payment. While you're at your tires, do a quick tread depth measurement. Most regular tires have a tread depth of about one-third of an inch. You could either buy a special measuring device or use the time-honored "penny" trick.

Insert a penny with Lincoln's head down. If the President's head is blocked by the tread, they're good. If you can see all of Honest Abe's head? You need new tires. 

At Woody Folsom CDJR of Baxley, we'll have the right tires for your car and your driving needs.

How Do You Know What Kind of Tire To Buy?

If your "penny" test indicates it's time for new tires, a few tips about tires will really come in handy. There are a lot of options. What brand? What size? Do I need radials? Should I upgrade my tires? Knowing what tires are best for your car will make the tire-buying process go a lot smoother.

Add-Ons For Trucks

One of the most common add-ons for trucks is towing accessories. These mission-critical parts are crucial for safe towing, increasing capacity, and countless other applications.

OEM vs After-Market

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) parts are made specifically for your car by the manufacturer. 

After-market parts are made by other companies and don't always have the same exacting standards as OEM. 

OEM parts use the exact specifications and materials as your original parts, making them perfect for your car. 

The experts at Woody Folsom CDJR of Baxley will know exactly which OEM parts your car needs. And they'll be happy to help you out.
