Performing preventive maintenance is like flossing your car’s teeth. Spending a little time and money today, will save you the larger expenses and downtime of major repairs in the future.  While changing your oil is like brushing your teeth, transmission flushes, coolant flushes, brake fluid flushes, and power steering flushes are like a good floss and cleaning for your car.  Many studies have shown that the major cause of component failure is dirty and worn out fluids.  Replacing these fluids every 30000 to 50000 miles will lessen the chance of having to drill out the cavities of expensive auto repair.

The most recognizable of all flushes, it was usually engrained into our heads from an early age to check the freezing point of our antifreeze.  On today’s cars, while we do look at freezing points, we are most concerned with the alkalinity level of the coolant.  The number one cause of coolant leaks, are gaskets breaking down due to the acidic nature of the coolant.  We use Wynn’s products, which not only replace the coolant, but add a conditioner to protect the entire cooling system as well.  Flush your coolant system before 33000 miles and every 30000 miles thereafter, and Wynn’s will pay up to $1000.00 to replace any defective component which may arise in the cooling system.  If your car is beyond the 33000 mile mark, you should still perform the flushes to gain the benefits of a cleaner operating system.  An ounce of prevention…     

Antilock brakes are an important safety feature on today’s cars.  This modern convenience, however, comes with an additional maintenance need.  Over time, brake fluid will draw moisture, thus affecting its boiling point. Also, as brake fluid ages, valves in the braking system begin to gum up. Sticky anti lock valves can disable the antilock braking feature on your car. A periodic brake flush should prevent premature ABS failure. We recommend flushing your brake fluid approximately every 50000 miles, or when changing hydraulic parts within the braking system.  The cost to do a brake flush is $90.00.

The number one cause of a failed steering unit is dirty and worn out power steering fluid.  The two most commonly failed components in the power steering system are the power steering pump, and the rack and pinion steering gear. Using Wynn’s power steering flush kits early and often, greatly increases the life of your power steering system.  If you do the initial flush before 33000 miles and within 30000 miles thereafter, Wynn’s will pay $1500.00 toward the cost of replacing any failed power steering component.

Electronic transmissions operate today with a series of solenoids and valves. Dirty and contaminated fluid leads to sticky valves and defective solenoids. Don’t wait until you have a problem in the transmission. Do a little preventive maintenance and flush out the transmission fluid.  Wynn’s will pay up to $2500.00 for component failure in the transmission if your initial flush is performed before 33000 miles and within every 30000 miles thereafter.  If you are beyond 33000 miles, let’s try and catch it before 75000 miles and try to head off expensive future repairs.
