Preventative maintenance is essential to the health of any vehicle. Following the scheduled maintenance outlined in your owner’s manual and regularly checking fluids and filters can save you time and money, down the road, and extend the life of your car.

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance:
• Ensures the safety of you and your passengers; a properly maintained vehicle is much less likely to breakdown or lose control.
• Maintains the efficiency of your vehicle.
• Saves on fuel costs, a car running at an optimal level uses less gas than one that is not.
• Saves on replacement part costs and repairs, a vehicle that runs optimally requires less repairs and needs less replacement parts.

Scheduled Maintenance
Every vehicle is manufactured to perform at its best when the maintenance schedule is followed. Newer cars are programmed to warn the driver when it is time for scheduled maintenance. It is extremely important to pay attention to the warning lights on your dash and react accordingly.

Oil Changes
Regular oil changes help your engine to run optimally. Depending on the vehicle, and your driving conditions, an oil change should be performed anywhere from every 3,000 miles to every 10,000. New cars are being designed to need oil changes less frequently. Consult your owner’s manual and be sure that you follow the recommended oil change schedule.

Air Filters
Changing your air filter(s) as recommended by your manufacturer is yet another important part of preventative maintenance. Cabin air filters clean the air that travels through your engine as well as your cabin. Regularly replacing your filter is again important for the health of your engine.

Regular Checkups and Repairs
When your auto technician completes scheduled maintenance it is also important to have them check for wear and tear. Replacing worn belts and spark plugs before larger problems arise is important for the health of your car and can save lots of money in repairs in the future. Be sure to use a technician that you trust to help you maintain the integrity of your vehicle and prevent unforeseen repairs.
