Frequently Asked Questions
What Maintenance Does My Car Need Regularly?
Routine maintenance typically includes oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and fluid level checks. These services keep your vehicle performing optimally and help prevent unexpected issues.
It's also essential to regularly check the air filtration system and replace it if needed, as this ensures your engine breathes clean air, contributing to efficient operation and longevity.
How Often Should I Schedule Maintenance Services?
Frequency depends on your vehicle’s manufacturer guidelines and your driving habits. Generally, oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, and more comprehensive check-ups at 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles are recommended.
Additionally, seasonal checks are advisable to prepare your car for specific weather conditions, such as ensuring your cooling system and AC are ready for the hot Texas summers.
What If I Skip My Scheduled Maintenance?
Skipping scheduled maintenance can lead to decreased vehicle performance and more significant repair costs in the future. Regular services help catch issues early, saving you time and money.
Ignoring maintenance can also impact your warranty terms; many manufacturers require proof of timely maintenance to honor warranty claims, so staying up-to-date can prevent future inconveniences and unexpected expenses.
