car on road

If you drive a performance car or SUV, you want to take every measure possible to ensure it stays in good shape and running well. For many drivers of precision-engineered vehicles like BMW, Audi, Porsche, Subaru, etc., warming up the engine is a part of taking care of your vehicle. But is it necessary?

Your car, truck, or SUV is equipped with various filters that keep the air going into your engine clean, the air you breathe in the vehicle, the fuel that supplies your engine, and the oil that keeps it going. How often should you have them replaced? It depends on the filter, the vehicle, and the environment. Here’s what you need to know, from Autoworks in Ithaca, NY.

Customer Review
★★★★★
Autoworks stepped up to the plate and took my car in immediately when my tire pressure indicator light kept coming on, despite filling tires. The local Subaru dealer gave me an appointment in 10 days. Unhappy, I called Autoworks, and they acknowledged the dire need to attend to the tires and made sure that the issue was resolved that day. They were professional and timely and will be my service providers while in this area.

On a long work day where you need to cool off, nothing is more appreciated than ice cold AC. If your AC isn’t blowing as cold as it should, don’t worry; Autoworks in Ithaca has you covered.
