Maintaining Your MITSUBISHI GALANT Base

Keeping your MITSUBISHI GALANT Base in peak condition requires a proactive approach to maintenance. This dependable vehicle rewards regular care, focusing on critical components that are known to need periodic attention.

Brakes

Braking systems are paramount for safety. Regularly checking the front and rear brake pads and rotors can help preserve optimal stopping power. Our Front Brake Service and Rear Brake Service packages are designed to keep you safe on the road.

Filters

Maintenance of various filters is crucial. Engine air filters and oil filters should be replaced regularly—ideally with each oil change—to maintain performance and efficiency. Ensuring a clean cabin air filter will enhance your driving comfort. Our Air Filter Service makes this easy and effective.

Suspension

Tending to your suspension system improves both ride comfort and handling. It's wise to inspect shock absorbers and struts frequently, especially if you notice a dip in performance or increased road noise. Our Suspension category covers the parts you need to keep your ride smooth.

Cooling System

The cooling system is another key area that needs attention around 150,000 kilometers. Regular inspections of the Water Pump, Thermostat, and Radiator can prevent overheating and costly repairs. Learn more about our Cooling solutions here.
