Too much engine oil can be just as bad as not enough! 😳🔧

This vehicle wasn't running right, so our technician started investigating. After checking the oil level, he discovered it had been filled to nearly TWICE the recommended amount!

Overfilling your engine oil can cause excessive pressure, oil foaming and potentially serious engine damage.

Our tech even shows the measurement so you can see just how much extra oil was in there.

🚗 Rochester drivers, here's your reminder: More oil doesn't mean better protection. Always make sure your vehicle has the correct amount recommended by the manufacturer.

Have you ever checked your oil level after getting an oil change? 👀

🔧 Car Care Tip of the Day: Don't ignore what's happening underneath your vehicle!

Rochester roads can be tough on your suspension, especially with potholes, road salt and changing seasons. 🛞

Over time, these conditions can contribute to worn bushings, loose suspension components and corrosion underneath your vehicle.

That's why checking underneath your car during routine maintenance is so important. Catching wear early can help prevent bigger repairs down the road!

🚗 Rochester drivers, when was the last time you had your suspension inspected?

What are those sensors attached to your wheels during an alignment? 🛞🔧

They're called alignment targets or heads, and they play an important role in measuring your vehicle's wheel alignment!

Our technician shows how these pieces of equipment are mounted to the wheels and used with our Hunter alignment system to measure important angles.

These measurements help us identify alignment issues that could cause uneven tire wear, pulling to one side or steering problems.

It's another example of how the right equipment and attention to detail make a difference when servicing your vehicle.

Ever wondered what goes into a professional wheel alignment? 👀

What is a caster sweep during a wheel alignment? 🛞🔧

Part 3 of our Buick Enclave wheel alignment!

Our technician walks through the caster sweep process, turning the steering wheel left, right and back to center so the alignment equipment can calculate important steering and suspension angles.

These measurements help us understand how the wheels are positioned and identify what adjustments may be needed for proper alignment.

It's another important step toward better handling, steering stability and even tire wear.

From mounting the equipment to compensation and the final caster sweep, precision matters every step of the way!

Why does a vehicle need to be compensated before a wheel alignment? 🛞🔧

Part 2 of our Buick Enclave wheel alignment!

With the alignment equipment mounted, our technician moves on to the compensation process.

This step helps the alignment system account for slight variations in the wheel and equipment setup, allowing for more accurate measurements before adjustments are made.

It's one of those important steps you might not see when bringing your vehicle in for an alignment, but it makes a difference in getting the job done right.

Stay tuned for Part 3! 👀

A proper wheel alignment starts with the right setup. 🛞🔧

We're working on a Buick Enclave, and in Part 1, our tech walks through the mounting process to prepare the vehicle for a wheel alignment.

Before making any adjustments, the alignment equipment needs to be properly attached and positioned to get accurate measurements.

Why does this matter? Proper wheel alignment helps prevent uneven tire wear, improves handling and keeps your vehicle tracking straight down the road.

Stay tuned for Part 2 as we get into the alignment process!

A proper tire install doesn’t stop once the tire is mounted. 🛞

Here’s a look at the process of mounting and balancing a tire before it goes back on the vehicle.

Proper balancing helps the tire rotate evenly, reduces unwanted vibration and helps provide a smoother ride.

Good tire service comes down to the process and the details. 🔧
