Vehicle Tips: Tire Caps

Here at Utah Jiffy Lube, we not only want to provide your vehicle with the proper preventative maintenance it deserves, we want to provide you with vehicle maintenance tips you can utilize during your day-to-day life. First up, we have a cool tip for you about tire valve stem caps and why they are important.
 
Car tires tend to lose air over time, it’s only natural. However, tire valve stem caps are used to keep air leakage to a minimum. These caps prevent dirt and moisture from reaching the valve. If you drive around without these caps, your valves can clog up and start to leak air, causing your tires to become flat. So, do your vehicle a favor and make sure to always drive with your tire valve caps on. If you accidentally lose one (which tends to happen), replace it as soon as possible.


Tire maintenance is key to keeping your car on the road. If you need help, just visit your nearest Utah Jiffy Lube location and ask for the Jiffy Lube Tire Rotation Service. Our certified technicians will inspect your tires for damage, check your tire air pressure, and rotate your tires according to proper rotating procedure.
