UTV and Side-by-Side Maintenance at Gear Head Automotive & Transmissions

Hey there, fellow off-road enthusiasts! At Gear Head Automotive & Transmissions, we know your UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) or side-by-side is more than just a machine; it's a trusted companion for your outdoor adventures. To keep your ride performing at its best, regular maintenance is key.

Let’s dive into some essential maintenance tips, including fluid changes, light bar installations, and general repairs to keep you rolling smoothly. Call us today!

Fluid Changes: The Lifeblood of Your UTV

Just like your car, your UTV requires regular fluid changes to keep everything running efficiently. One of the first things we recommend checking is the engine oil. A good rule of thumb is to check and change your oil every 50-100 hours of use or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Clean oil not only lubricates engine components but also helps to keep your machine cool.

Don’t forget about the transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant, too! Each of these plays a crucial role in the performance and safety of your vehicle. Regular fluid inspections can save you from unfortunate breakdowns and costly repairs down the road. If you're not sure when your fluids were last changed, it might be time to give us a call!

Upgrading with Light Bars

When you’re tearing through the trails after sunset, visibility is everything. That's where light bars come in! Not only do they add an awesome look to your UTV, but they can also significantly enhance your nighttime driving experience. At Gear Head Automotive & Transmissions, we offer expert advice on selecting the right light bar for your specific make and model, ensuring you get maximum brightness without compromising safety.

Whether you prefer a sleek LED bar or a robust halogen option, our team can handle the installation. If you already have a light bar, we can also assist with any wiring issues and maintenance, ensuring your lights are always shining bright when you need them.

Regular Maintenance & Repairs

Maintenance is about more than just fluid changes and light upgrades. Your UTV goes through a lot of wear and tear, especially if you’re putting it to work or exploring tough terrains. Regular inspections can help pinpoint issues like worn belts, damaged tires, or degraded brakes before they become major problems.
