Maintenance Recommendations for Macungie Vehicles

To combat local wear and tear, it’s important to stick to a smart maintenance schedule. We recommend Macungie drivers follow severe service intervals (our area’s cold winters, road salt, and short trips fit that category). Key maintenance tips include:

Regular Oil Changes

Change your oil about every 5,000 miles or 6 months. Short trips and temperature extremes make oil break down faster. Frequent oil changes keep your engine protected.

Filters

Macungie’s rural surroundings kick up dust and pollen, so replace your engine air filter each year (and your cabin filter for clean interior air).

Tire Care

Rotate your tires every 6,000 miles to promote even wear, and check your alignment yearly.

Brake & Fluid Checks

Have your brakes checked annually and replace pads before they wear out. Also, flush your coolant and brake fluid every 2 years. Fresh coolant protects your engine from overheating or freezing, and clean brake fluid ensures responsive braking.

State Inspections

Don’t forget, Pennsylvania requires an annual safety inspection and emissions test. Conveniently, Schearer’s auto shop is certified to perform PA inspections for your vehicle. Once your car has seen our shop, it’ll pass that test with ease.

Common Auto Issues for Macungie Drivers

Driving in and around Macungie presents some unique challenges. Here are a few problems we frequently help Macungie-area drivers with:

Bumpy Roads & Potholes: The plethora of unpredictable backroads here develop potholes after winter freeze-thaw cycles. Hitting a pothole can knock your car out of alignment or damage a rim. We frequently realign wheels and repair suspensions for drivers after such hits.
Weather Wear & Tear: Macungie’s winters are cold, and summers are hot, just like the rest of the Lehigh Valley. Make sure to watch out for that road salt in winter, because it can slowly corrode your car’s underside, and summer heat can strain cooling systems. We often replace rusted exhaust parts on vehicles that weren’t washed enough in winter, and we sometimes see overheated engines in mid-summer. Staying on top of maintenance (like rust protection and coolant service) is key in our climate.

Car Care Tips for Macungie Residents

A little extra care can help your vehicle last longer in Macungie’s environment:

Wash Off Winter Grime: Make a habit of washing your car (especially underneath) during winter. Macungie’s roads get a lot of salt in the winter months. This helps prevent rust on your vehicle’s underside.
Mind Your Battery: Cold mornings in Macungie can be tough on car batteries. If yours is over 4 years old, have it tested each fall. Also, try to drive your car regularly to keep the battery charged.
Be Prepared for Wildlife: On Macungie’s quieter roads (especially at dawn or dusk), deer and other animals can appear suddenly. Ensure your brakes and headlights are in top shape so you can react quickly.
