New Year Vehicle Checklist: Start 2025 with a Healthy Vehicle

It’s January, and many of us are busy making resolutions, writing down goals and reflecting on the previous year's ups and downs. While health and finances often top the list, don’t forget about your car! A well-maintained vehicle ensures safety, saves money in the long run, and gets you where you need to go without a hitch.

At Tech One Automotive, we make it easy to check “vehicle maintenance” off your to-do list. Our team specializes in keeping Asian and American vehicles in peak condition. Let’s jump into the ultimate checklist to keep your car running smoothly and safely throughout the New Year.

Why Vehicle Maintenance is the Perfect Resolution

It’s a crisp morning in Austin, and you’re heading out for a hike at the Barton Creek Greenbelt or a coffee run on South Congress. Suddenly, a dashboard light pops up, or worse, your car won’t start. A little preventative care now can help you avoid these headaches later.

Your New Year Vehicle Checklist

• Oil Change
• Why it’s important: Regular oil changes keep your engine clean and running efficiently. Dirty or old oil can lead to increased wear and tear on engine components, reducing performance and longevity.
• How Tech One helps: Our quick and affordable oil change service ensures your engine gets the care it needs. We use high-quality oil and filters tailored to your specific vehicle, whether it’s a Honda, Toyota, Ford, or Chevy.
• Brake Inspection and Repair
• Why it’s important: Your brakes are your car’s most critical safety system. Squeaky, grinding, or soft brakes are signs that you need an inspection ASAP.
• How Tech One helps: Our brake repair specialists check pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure your car stops safely every time. Don’t let Austin traffic test your luck—stay safe on those busy roads.
• Tire Care
• Why it’s important: Properly inflated and balanced tires improve fuel efficiency and reduce the risk of a blowout. With Austin’s occasional rain and fluctuating temperatures, good tread is a must.
• How Tech One helps: We’ll inspect your tires for wear, check air pressure, and rotate them for even usage.
• Battery Health Check
• Why it’s important: Nothing ruins a morning faster than a dead battery. Cooler winter mornings can strain an old battery, leading to unexpected breakdowns.
• How Tech One helps: We’ll test your battery to ensure it’s holding a charge and replace it if necessary.
• Fluid Top-Offs and Inspections
• Why it’s important: From coolant to windshield washer fluid, every liquid in your car has a job. Low or dirty fluids can cause overheating or reduce visibility on the road.
• How Tech One helps: Our experts will inspect and top off all critical fluids so your vehicle is ready for any conditions.
