Types of Routine Maintenance

While there are many types of regular maintenance and service you should be having performed on your car, there are a few basic services that are needed frequently for any kind of vehicle:

• Oil change
• Tire service
• Brake service
• Checking fluids
• Replacing filters

Some of these services can include multiple tasks. For example, tire service can be anything from a simple tire rotation to Dodge wheel balancing and realignment to replacing the tires entirely. But what is the difference between these services?

Tire Balancing vs. Rotation

The most frequently performed tire service is probably a tire rotation. This is when a mechanic swaps out the placement of each wheel in order to ensure the tread wears evenly throughout the tires.

A wheel alignment is when a technician adjusts the angle of your wheels to ensure it’s aligned in the correct direction.

A Dodge wheel balancing, however, helps to re-balance the weight of a tire and wheel assembly to ensure it moves evenly.
