Trip Inspections at Quality Auto Electric & Repair in Des Moines

Is the alignment ok?

The next thing is a full service oil change at Quality Auto Electric & Repair in Des Moines to make sure all of your fluids are topped off and you have fresh oil for the trip. And if your vehicle is older, you may consider putting in the high-mileage formulation to clean harmful sludge deposits in the engine. You may also need a new PCV valve and an engine air filter.
