MAINTENANCE

      BRAKE SYSTEM FLUID 
SERVICE

 

Some manufacturers recommend replacing the fluid at regular intervals. That's because some brake fluids absorb moisture over time, which could mean your brakes perform less well when you need them the most, during hard braking. The brake fluid level should be checked periodically, preferably with every oil change. Check your owners manual to determine the recommended interval for changing the brake fluid or bring your vehicle to CAT to have a complete brake inspection. You'll also get the CAT Multi-Point check to ensure all of the major systems in your vehicle are in good working order. Some manufacturers recommend replacing the fluid at regular intervals.

      BATTERY MAINTENANCE SERVICES
 

A well-maintained battery gives you peace of mind, whether you're out on the road or the weather turns cold. Does your battery keep running down? Does it start slowly? Or does the temperature impact how well your car starts? It takes an expert to diagnose the starting and charging systems in your vehicle. Take your car, truck or SUV to CAT for a starting and charging system diagnosis and our free 36-point Multi-Point Inspection®. An CAT technician will inspect the battery connections, the hardware, the condition of the case, the electrolyte level (where applicable) and the battery load (its ability to perform its function). The technician inspects the alternator belts, brackets and connections and tests voltage and current. Finally, the starter is inspected for proper connections and mounting and is tested to see how much electrical power is required to turn over the engine when the engine is cranked. Based on this expert diagnosis, your CAT center will recommend the service that's right for you and replace only the needed components. Unlike other components in your car or truck, the battery does not give warning signs when it is near failure. A battery aged three or more years is a good candidate for replacement. Please refer to your owners manual for factory recommended maintenance intervals for your specific vehicle or if you are an I-Phone user, download our FREE I-gAAuge application for your maintenance schedule.
