Preventative maintenance is how you get more miles out of your car. In fact, vehicle owners who bring their automobiles to our shop for every factory-scheduled service can get as many as 300,000 miles or more out of their automobiles. If you are looking to keep your car for a long time, we cannot overstate the importance of taking care of it. In other words, stick to the service schedule in your owner’s manual to make sure the vehicle is in excellent condition no matter how old it is.
Efficiency
The factory-scheduled services are also designed to keep your engine running as efficiently as possible. This saves you money because the engine will consume less gasoline or diesel fuel than it would if it were running inefficiently. An inefficient engine uses more fuel than an efficient engine does. As such, you will spend less money filling the tank of your automobile if you keep up with the maintenance.
Reliability
In addition to premium efficiency, factory-scheduled services also keep your automobile reliable. This is key if you want to get more mileage out of the vehicle before you trade it in for another automobile. Preventative maintenance allows us to find minor problems before they become major repairs. This, too, saves you money in the end. It is less expensive to service your vehicle than to repair it.
Safety
It is also important to take into account that preventative maintenance keeps your vehicle safe while you are driving it. Factory-scheduled services include servicing the brake system and the suspension. This helps you maintain control of the vehicle. The scheduled services also include inspecting the engine to make sure there is nothing dangerous like a fuel leak that could start a fire.
Longevity
Finally, as discussed above, preventative maintenance will make your vehicle last longer. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If your automobile is always running efficiently and reliably, everything is working as it should be. This means the vehicle will last longer. Preventative maintenance allows us to replace individual parts when they are starting to wear out. This also extends the vehicle’s life.
