Oil changes
Keeping the oil clean and oil filter changed is the best way to protect your car’s engine. It is also one of the least expensive vehicle maintenance tasks.
Check the oil in between regular maintenance checks at Ramona Tire. Watch for:
- Dirty or dark oil on the dipstick
- A burning oil smell inside the car
- The dashboard oil change light comes on
- Smoke coming from the exhaust
- Engine knocking or metallic sounds coming from the engine
The standard recommendation is to change the oil and filter in your vehicles every 3,000 miles or three months. Based on the age of your car or truck, how much you drive, and the climate where you live, our oil change specialists may recommend more frequent—or fewer—oil changes. Our technicians will be glad to make the oil change schedule recommendation that’s best for you.
Brake and wheel service
Don’t take chances with the brakes in your car or truck. Set up regular inspections with our San Clemente brake experts to make sure your brakes won’t fail on the road.
We will inspect your entire brake system, including:
- How quickly your brakes respond when pedal is applied
- The condition of the drums and pads or shoes
- Check the thickness of the rotors
- Check and refill all fluid levels
- Test drive the car
Our technician will provide you with a written quote if any repair work is recommended.
Air Conditioning Service
The AC system in modern vehicles is more complicated than it used to be. Our car AC specialists will perform a thorough inspection—we check the vent temperature inside the car and the pressure in the system, look for and repair leaks that may be affecting the system, and recharge the coolant if necessary.
If you see condensation inside the car or the air blowing from the vents is not cold, book an appointment for a diagnostic visit. You may be able avoid costly repairs if a minor issue is addressed right away.

How can I get more use out of my new tires?
Purchasing new tires can be pricey, meaning you’ll want to use them for as long as possible. Some vehicle components can positively or negatively affect the condition of your tires. Be sure not to ignore auto maintenance tasks related to these car parts, which include:
- Suspension maintenance and repairs. A vehicle’s suspension can easily change the performance of its tires. When your car’s suspension struts get too worn, your tires will have to deal with added pressure, which increases their rate of wear. Be sure to check your suspension when you’re due for any preventative maintenance services—doing so means you’ll be much less likely to encounter this issue.
- Brake servicing. If your brakes aren’t doing well, your tires likely aren’t doing well either. Don’t delay getting your tire and brake inspections.
- Tire rotation and wheel alignment. With any luck, your tires should wear out evenly and receive identical amounts of pressure and weight from your car. However, if this isn’t the case, your vehicle will require wheel alignment and tire rotation service.
By paying attention to the above tasks and taking care to fill your tires with the right amount of air, they should continue to serve you well for years to come.
