Doug Wilson’s Video on Car Maintenance
10 Things on Your Car That Need Maintenance
1. Motor Oil: Simply put, motor oil degrades over time, with the additive package becoming depleted and the oil becoming contaminated with debris. Recommended oil change intervals vary by manufacturer, but the simple truth is that all vehicles – even hybrids- require oil changes. At Wilson Auto Group we suggest every 5,000 miles because it’s so easy to remember.
2. Air Filter: Your engine’s air filter screens harmful dust and debris, keeping it from getting inside the engine and potentially causing life-shortening damage. But like the air filter inside your home, it eventually becomes clogged with dust and needs to be replaced so your engine can breathe freely and generate the power it was designed to.
3. Coolant and Brake Fluid: The mixture of coolant/anti-freeze/water inside your engine will eventually see its additive package become depleted and lose some of its ability to protect your car’s engine from the extreme summer heat and bone-chilling winter cold. Even though many modern vehicles don’t require a coolant change for the first five years, the truth is that at some point almost every vehicle will require multiple coolant changes during its lifetime. Similarly, brake fluid is very corrosive and should be replaced occasionally.
4. Tires: Yep, even your tires need maintenance. Pretty much every owner’s manual for every vehicle on the road recommends rotating tires and checking tire pressure every so often. Doing so can extend the tread life, keeping you from having to buy a new set quite as soon. Low tire pressure also increases rolling resistance which increases friction and increases HEAT…which can lead to a tire blowout.
5. Transmission fluid: It doesn’t matter weather your car has an automatic, manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT), most automakers recommend replacing the fluid that protects the transmission at some point during the vehicle’s life. And for vehicles driven in though conditions or that carry heavy loads, the transmission fluid likely requires changing sooner rather that later.
6. Brakes: Take a piece of metal and rub it vigorously with a hard semi-metallic compound and tiny pieces of both objects will erode. Now do that hundreds of times each day, hundreds of days each year. That’s your brakes at work. Eventually, all that eroding will require that both the brake pads/shoes and the rotors/drums will need to be replaced. It can be pricy, buy you can’t put a price tag on the ability to stop with you need to!
7. Spark Plugs: Time was when automakers recommended new spark plugs about every 30,000 miles. These days, you might have to replace the spark plugs in your car once during its lifetime, but it’s a service tat most automakers still recommend at certain intervals.
8. Wiper Blades: They’re stuck on your windshield day after day, in the hot sun or freezing snow. Eventually, the rubber blades of your windshield wipers will begin to degrade. When that happens, it’s time for new ones.
9. Fuel Injection System: Although this isn’t generally a factory recommended service, the simple fact is that the ultra-fine injectors used to spray fuel into your car’s engine are susceptible to even the tiniest bits of debris. An interruption in the perfectly designed spray pattern of your injectors can cost you at the pump, which is why to ensure you’re getting the best mileage possible, many experts recommend a fuel injection cleaning service at periodic intervals.
10. Cabin Air Filter: Even the inside of your car has an item that needs maintenance. Most modern vehicles are equipped with a special filter that screens the air coming into the passenger compartment. These filters can keep out odors. But just like your engine air filter, these filters will need to be periodically replaced, generally on an annual basis.
There you have it, 10 items on your vehicle that will generally need maintenance at some point or another. Take care of these items, and chances are your car will take care of you for many miles to come.

January News
Up 87% in Kia sales! Up 45% in Hyundai sales! What more can we say except....THANK YOU! 2011 was a great year for Wilson Auto Group and we look forward to serving our customers in 2012. With over 1000 new Kia's and Hyundai's sold, Wilson Kia and Wilson Hyundai on Lakeland Drive is one of the largest Kia/Hyundai dealerships in the nation. We are so thankful for your support and business.
One of our highlights of 2011 was opening our high-line used car operation at the former Paul Moak location on I-55 and Steed. We opened The Wilson Premier Collection in November and the response has been phenomenal. We will be having a grand opening all month during January and invite you to stop by and just look around and see all the nice nearly new Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura as well as nearly new Hyundai's and Kia's. Our service team is EXCELLENT there and we invite you to try it out. We service all makes and models but specialize in highline, Kia and Hyundai.
www.wilsonpremiercollection.com
In other news, we started Saturday service in June and discontinued it recently because of lack of support. It just was not being used by our customers and my workers were here an extra day but mostly standing around for lack of cars being brought in. We may try it again at a later date but it would seem that folks value their Saturdays too much to spend them getting their cars serviced.
2011 brought many new models to our showrooms. This time last year we didn't have the all new Hyundai Elantra, the beautiful Equus luxury car, the Sonata Hybrid or the sporty new Veloster. Likewise, we hadn't gotten the all new Kia Optima mid-size sedan or the Forte 5 Door or the all new Rio small car. We are so thankful for Kia (www.kia.com )and Hyundai (www.hyundai.com ) and the great vehicles they are building and their generous 10year/100,000 mile warranty. And most of our Kia's and Hyundai's are built right here in the deep south in West Point Georgia and Montgomery, Alabama.
Please let me know if I can be of service.

December News
The great news from here at Wilson Kia (www.wilsonkia.com and www.facebook.com/wilsonkia), our YTD sales are up 88.3% over 2010!
At Wilson Hyundai (www.wilsonhyundai.net and www.facebook.com/wilsonhyundai ), our YTD sales are up 41.5%!
We thank everyone who helped make that possible from customers, employees and our great manufacturer partners who build such highly desirable vehicles. Our used car inventory is available at www.wilsonautos.com
In November we also opened "The Wilson Premier Collection" which is an upscale used car operation on "car row" along I-55 North in Madison County MS. (www.wilsonpremiercollection.com ) There we stock the nicest, most desirable cars in the world...usually 2-3 year old ones at up to 50% off their original price! It is going great and we have assembled a great team up there in sales as well as service.
Nationally, here is the automobile industry news:
For automakers and dealers, November sales were at their best monthly rate since August of 2009, when Cash for Clunkers was in full swing. The surge is partially credited to black Friday shoppers, who turned out at some of their highest levels in recent years to take advantage of great deals.
Hyundai’s sales were up 21.8 percent; Kia was up 39.1 percent; Nissan was up 21.5 percent; and Mercedes Benz had its best November ever with sales of 27,841 units, up 42.6 percent from a year ago. Toyota, well on its way to recovery from March’s earthquake and tsunami, was up 6.7 percent and picked up a point in market share. Honda continues to struggle, now with supply issues caused by flooding in Thailand, and saw sales fall 6.2 percent from November 2010.
“Bolstered by falling unemployment rates and attractive deals, consumers who had been deferring automotive purchases returned to dealerships in droves last month,” said AIADA President Cody Lusk. “Dealers are optimistic that last month’s numbers bode well for 2012.”
