Preventive maintenance is crucial when it comes to getting the most out of your vehicle as parts wear out over time. By following manufacturer recommendations at timely intervals, you can keep your vehicle in top condition and avoid huge costly repairs. A great way to be informed about the preventative maintenance recommended for your vehicle is to check the owner’s manual as maintenance schedules vary for the needs of different vehicles. However, there are some industry standards for all vehicles that will help keep your vehicle running it’s best!

Preventative maintenance will not only save you money in the long run but will also keep you safe on the road. Every vehicle is different, and as newer models are released and industry standards and materials evolve, so do their preventative maintenance requirements. For example, a car built in the 90’s might be recommended to have the coolant changed about every 50,000 km, whereas many newer models recommend this service every 145,000–160,000 km. Remember, all vehicle manufacturers have different maintenance schedules and these figures are general industry guidelines. ALWAYS VERIFY WITH YOUR TECHNICIAN THAT A SERVICE IS DUE FOR YOUR VEHICLE.
