Here’s what to expect at this milestone service.

Replace the Timing Belt

Replacing your vehicle’s timing belt is vital to extending its lifespan. The timing belt controls the camshaft and crankshaft for keeping your engine running smoothly. A lot of vehicle manufacturers suggest getting the timing belt replaced just around 100,000 miles. An impaired timing belt can be the cause of expensive damage to your vehicle’s engine, so it’s important to replace it prior to that happening.

You can determine if the timing belt is going bad when you feel rough idling, your engine misfiring, or a decrease in oil pressure. Getting to your timing belt is difficult and is very time-consuming. Purchasing a new timing belt ranges in cost from three to five hundred dollars, subject to the make and model of your vehicle.

Flush the Fluids

Your vehicle’s fluids break down as the vehicle gets older. It’s wise to flush your fluids out at this time and replace the oil, antifreeze, brake, transmission, and power steering fluids.

Test the Brakes

At this stage, you’ve probably had to replace the brake pads. At your 100,000-mile scheduling, the technician is going to look and see if they are required to be replaced again. It’s also wise to make sure your rotors are not worn out should you have disc brakes. When your vehicle shakes when you depress the brakes, it’s probably time to get your rotors either resurfaced or replaced.

Replace Shock Absorbers

At about 100,000 miles, your vehicle’s shock absorbers are going to begin to wear out. The shock absorbers are vital part of your vehicle’s suspension and guarantees your vehicle’s tires are in continual contact with the road. Replacing them is going to improve driving performance and help your vehicle’s tires wear equally.

Steering Components

Apart from flushing your steering fluid, the technician is going to evaluate your vehicle’s steering components to be sure they are in great shape at this maintenance inspection.

Examine Spark Plugs

Your technician is going to take a close look at your spark plugs to be sure none of them are worn out and need to be replaced. Copper spark plugs are required to be replaced around 20,000 miles, whereas platinum and iridium spark plugs are designed to last around 100,000 miles. Installing a new set of spark plugs can increase gas mileage, which is particularly important as the cost of gas continues to hit record levels.
