K&G Auto Repair and Detailing

SERVICES

Your vehicle needs preventive care, general automotive maintenance, and regularly scheduled maintenance. Preventive care and scheduled maintenance are equally important and are performed for several reasons. First, preventative and scheduled maintenance help hold the car's value and is necessary if you plan to resell your vehicle in the future. The fewer problems your vehicle has, the higher you will sell it. Scheduled maintenance helps ensure that any current or future issues are handled before they worsen or arise. General maintenance is an essential aspect of the well-being and lifetime of a car. It is the basic necessity for the survival of a vehicle.   Car maintenance, tune-up, and repairs comprise a wide variety of topics, which are different for the exterior and interior of cars. Maintenance and tune-up services include protecting the paint, cleaning, and waxing the car surface for the exterior. It also comprises maintenance of the tires, which is done by checking whether they are well inflated and correcting their pressure. All of this falls under the category of general car maintenance.
