When your experienced Kerry's Car Care service specialist technician changes your oil, he will also inspect your air filter. You shouldn’t need a new filter at every oil change, but you will need to change it regularly. Heed your technician’s auto advice if they tell you to change your filter. It’s not expensive, and it makes a big difference to your truck.
An air filter does what its name implies: it filters stuff out of the air. Air is drawn into your engine through the filter because your engine needs air to burn fuel. If the filter weren’t there, a lot of dust and debris would come into the truck engine with the air. That dust and debris would get hot, burn, and produce all kinds of ash and gumminess that would eventually clog up your engine.
But air filters themselves get clogged up with all the junk they clean out of the Phoenix air. This doesn’t allow the junk into the truck engine, but it does block up the airflow. A blocked airflow will reduce engine efficiency, learn more.

Treat Your Vehicle to Good Tires
Tire chain stores in Glendale often carry tires with their own brand name. These are private label tires. They are less expensive than Tier 1 tires, but are still a quality product. In fact, many private label tires sold in Phoenix are manufactured by the same companies that make Tier 1 tires. Don’t hesitate to ask your Kerry's Car Care tire professional who makes their private brand.
The cheapest tires on the Arizona tire market are Tier 3 tires. Most of these tires are imported from Asia or South America, and they just don’t have the same standard of engineering behind them that the higher-priced tires have. When it comes to Tier 3 tires, Glendale folks get what they pay for. Learn more.
Wheel Alignment
One of the most important parts of preventive maintenance for your vehicle is keeping the wheels in alignment. Poor alignment causes your tires to wear unevenly, which can significantly reduce their lifespan. This means you will have to replace them more often, which can be costly in Glendale.
It can even damage your suspension system, which is a significant repair. But even more importantly, uneven tread wear can lead to blowouts on the road, a dangerous and potentially deadly safety risk for Glendale drivers and their passengers.
It may not take an accident or bad driving habits to “knock” your tires out of alignment. Tires can go out of alignment with just everyday Arizona driving. Glendale road hazards, pot holes, uneven or gravel roads, even the bumps and bounces of normal Phoenix freeways and surface streets can gradually put your truck tires out of alignment.
So it’s good auto advice to have your truck's alignment inspected periodically. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual will have recommendations on how often you should get an alignment check: usually every year or two. But if you think your truck tires might be out of alignment, you should take your truck into Kerry's Car Care now.
