Routine Maintenance Right on Schedule
Keeping your vehicle well-maintained involved keeping track of when your last maintenance appointment was. Most cars and trucks require tune-ups at regular intervals, and it’s crucial to stay on schedule. The owner’s manual will give you the most accurate information on how and when to properly maintain your vehicle, but it’s never a bad idea to read up on the general wisdom. Most motorists should request preventative maintenance every 30,000 miles or once a year. Specific systems should be checked seasonally. And, of course, you should never forget to have an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Our team can answer any questions not addressed in your owner’s manual.
