Green & White Automotive in Spring Texas

When Spring car owners think about preventive maintenance, what usually comes to mind is oil, fluids and brakes. We don’t generally think about our shocks or struts, but these essential auto parts keep our tires on the road.

Road trip, anyone? Nothing spoils a great vacation for us Spring drivers then ending up stranded on the side of the road or spending a week in a rundown motel while our vehicle sits in the shop. Long days on the road can bring out the worst in your vehicle, so before you leave, prepare it for the journey by getting an inspection at Green & White Automotive in Spring. After all, you wouldn’t travel without clean socks, why ask your vehicle to travel with a load of detrimental dirty oil?

When it comes to preventive maintenance on our vehicles, most of us Spring auto owners remember to get our oil changed. But Green & White Automotive services that occur at longer intervals — like transmission service — sometimes get overlooked. Yet transmission service is a key part of car care for Spring motorists. A poorly maintained transmission will lessen MPG and lead to pricey repairs.

Differential? What’s that? And what’s it for? I’ve been told by my technician that I need to get it serviced, but is that on the level?

Safety should always be a vital element of your car care. So even if you don’t care about how your car looks, you should practice preventive maintenance to protect yourself — and other Spring car owners — on the road. And good safety starts with good brakes.

Diesel engines have been used extensively in Europe and Asia for many years. They haven’t been as common in Houston because of the high sulfur content in our diesel fuel. But the government is now mandating lower sulfur content and, as a result, we are going to see more Spring drivers driving diesel-fueled vehicles on the road, especially in passenger cars and SUV’s.
