Here are 3 car myths about drivetrain and suspension service, busted by our Georgetown auto experts.

Myth #1: The drivetrain doesn’t need service

Have you ever heard of a car that never needs service? Neither have we! But too many drivers believe their car never needs drivetrain maintenance or repair. The truth is, maintenance is a key factor in keeping the drivetrain system healthy.

Your vehicle has manufacturer-determined service intervals to help you save time and money in the long run. The best way to know when your car needs maintenance work is by looking in the vehicle owner’s manual. If you’re still wondering the right time, call our Georgetown car repair shop for help!

Myth #2: The suspension operates independently

One of the biggest suspension myths is that the shocks and struts have nothing to do with the vehicle’s tires, brakes or drivetrain system. The truth is, a weak shock or strut could keep your tire from hitting the road in the right way. This could cause unfavorable or uneven wear on your tires.

Regularly scheduled suspension maintenance keeps your shocks and struts in line, helping you save money, time and gas. By protecting your suspension, you’re also protecting the brakes, which provide better control over the vehicle. Suspension service allows for an overall more comfortable drive.

Myth #3: Maintenance can always wait

It really is true that early drivetrain and suspension detection and prevention saves you time and money on repairs down the road. When you wait for a needed service, the problem only gets worse and worse.

Don’t wait for your minor car problems to escalate into expensive repairs or replacements. Schedule an inspection as soon as you discover a symptom of drivetrain or suspension trouble.

Our friendly auto technicians want you to have the best drive possible. Don’t fall for the myths and continue to put off a much-needed repair. To schedule a drivetrain and suspension inspection today, call Christian Brothers Automotive in Georgetown, Texas.
