It’s never a convenient time to need service or repairs for your MINI vehicle, especially true if you face a major bill. However, keeping your vehicle in great shape doesn’t have to be a headache. Here are some tips from our MINI Service Center in Peabody, MA, for extending the life of your MINI Cooper Car.

Fluids and Filters

This may seem like a minor issue, but if neglected, low fluids and dirty filters can to a major problem if you don’t keep your fluids full and your filters clean. If you miss your regular oil change schedule, contaminants can build up in your engine. As the oil gets dirtier, your oil filter becomes congested, and contaminants can spread through the engine and cause serious damage. Schedule an oil change every six months or 4,000-6,000 miles to keep your MINI vehicle running smoothly.

Tire and Brake Care

The longer you drive your used MINI, the more wear and tear you put on your tires and brakes. Balding tires or worn-down brake pads greatly increase your risk of an accident. Let our MINI service professionals check your pads, rotors, shoes, and fluids, and we will replace anything that’s worn out.

You should also schedule tire rotation and balancing service to prevent your tires from wearing unevenly,

which can lead to an inconvenient roadside emergency. Tires in poor condition can also damage other parts of your suspension and steering.

Routine Maintenance

The best thing drivers can do to extend the life of their vehicle is to just get in the habit of taking bring it in for regular maintenance at our MINI service center. That includes everything from oil changes to tire rotation and beyond. Routine maintenance can keep you safe on the road as you rack up more miles.

Time for Your Used MINI Checkup at Orlando MINI

Our experts at MINI of Peabody can help keep your vehicle in great shape with routine maintenance. Schedule a checkup to stay ahead of any problems and you’ll happily drive your MINI Cooper car for many more miles.

Spring is the time for new beginnings, which means it’s the perfect time to bring your vehicle in for MINI service. Here are a few recommended steps to give your vehicle a fresh new feeling to match the changing season.

Get an Oil Change

You should get an oil change at least twice a year, so what better way to keep that routine than scheduling it around the new season? Oil degrades over time, so even if you aren’t necessarily putting a lot of miles on your MINI vehicle, it’s important to have it changed to prevent wear and maintain your fuel efficiency.

When you come into our MINI service center for an oil change, it also provides the perfect opportunity to have the below parts of your vehicle checked on, too.

Check Your Tires

Winter weather can be rough on your tires. Be sure to check the tread to make sure your tires still have proper traction, and check that their air pressure is at the proper level. If you fell victim to any of those notorious cold weather potholes, you might want to consider a wheel alignment to make your ride smooth again.

Inspect Your Battery

Like your tires, your battery puts in hard work during the harsh cold of winter. It’s important to have it properly checked to ensure that it’s working properly and that it isn’t going to die and leave you stranded once things start heating up.

Replace Your Wiper Blades

Another simple task that can breathe new life into your vehicle. Your wiper blades put up with a lot in the winter, from snow to salt, and they need to be in peak condition to deal with any incoming spring rains.

Schedule Your Mini Service at MINI of Peabody

Start the season off on a high note by scheduling service at MINI of Peabody and let our certified technicians have your ride feeling as crisp as a spring breeze.

Our MINI service department at MINI of Peabody is run by dedicated automotive professionals that deliver competitively-priced services. Especially if you are a new MINI owner, you need to be aware of these three warning signs to prevent problems before they happen. Onboard notifications are an easy sign, but some problems are harder to assess. If you experience these signs, visit us as soon as you can.

Listen for Noises

An easy way to spot a problem that your car might not notify you of is to listen for unusual sounds or vibrations. Problematic sounds include a rattling or knocking sound that could indicate a problem with the engine’s standard operation. Below the car, you might notice a dragging sound if something has become dislodged, like the splash shield. If you sense unusual vibrations, primarily through the steering wheel, you might be experiencing wheel misalignment. Additionally, screeching and squeaking sounds usually point to brakes needing maintenance.

Watch for Onboard Notifications

All MINI models come standard with a warning notification system. These warning lights will display on the driver’s dashboard and indicate tire, engine, brake issues, and more. Be sure to pay attention to alerts as you turn on the vehicle.

Pay Attention to Decreased Performance

MINI cars are known for their clever and peppy ride experience, but they will only perform to their best capability with consistent service. If you notice poor performance, you could be the victim of old spark plugs or low oil.
