Scheduled Maintenance

Gone are the days of the tune-up. In days of past, a mechanic would change the spark plugs, air filter, set the points, and tune the carburetor, and voila, the tune-up was complete. With spark plugs lasting 150k miles, and carburetors rusting out in salvage yards all across the country, the conventional tune-up is a phrase from the past. These days vehicles still need regular service, but the service is called scheduled maintenance. The schedule is set forth by the vehicle manufacture, and is based upon the region where the vehicle is most driven.

Just like your engine oil needs changed regularly, so too do other components. This is called preventative maintenance. We don’t wait until our engine oil is black before we change it, right? So why would we wait for our other fluids to be ruined before changing? Regular items to be changed at scheduled intervals are spark plugs, air filters, cabin air filters, transmission oil, front and rear differential oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, timing belts, alternator and power steering pump belts, and more. The benefits of performing regularly scheduled maintenance far outweigh the cost. You can have peace of mind knowing your vehicle has had regular service by your trusted technicians. By keeping fresh fluids, and clean filters, the life of these systems are prolonged. Also, when selling your vehicle, it’s worth a lot more when the seller can show proof of scheduled maintenance.
