Cars continue to grow and evolve each year. However, one thing always seems to remain the same - myths circulate so much that drivers believe they're true. We're debunking a few of the myths we hear most at Acura of Sherman Oaks.
You Need to Warm Up Your Car First
Quite the contrary, letting your vehicle idle is harmful and should be avoided whenever possible. In fact, many new Acura vehicles include automatic idle stop, which even keeps you from idling at a red light.
You Need to Shop Around for Financing
We have a streamlined process to help you easily secure Acura financing at our dealership. Our professional relationships with both local and national lenders ensure competitive rates; we do the legwork so you don't have to.
You Need Service Every Three Months
The days are gone where experts recommend that you schedule an oil change every three months or 3,000 miles. Some drivers can go upwards of 10,000 miles between oil changes or even more if they utilize synthetic oil. Since every car is different, discuss your Acura service needs with our team.
Low-Mileage Used Cars are Best
When you are shopping for a used car, its history is arguably the most crucial factor. You want a vehicle that was serviced regularly. Plus, you want to see how many owners it has had, if it has any open recalls and if it was ever in an accident. A well-maintained vehicle will almost always be more reliable than one that wasn't, no matter how many miles it has.
You Should Always Replace All Four Tires
Naturally, if all your tires show signs of wear, it's best to plan to replace them all at once. However, it's OK to replace tires in pairs in most cases (the exception being your spare, which should be replaced every five or six years, no matter how good it may look). Remember to ensure it's the same size and model as your others to avoid uneven wear.
