Custom Tailoring Preventive Maintenance Services
Most of us have seen or heard of clothing that boasts the simple solution sizing “One Size Fits All.” That might be great for some things such as buying a cover-up to wear over a bathing suit, but it’s a terrible approach to car maintenance.

Considerations Regarding Maintenance
As an owner/driver, the first maintenance consideration should be the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. You’ll find these in your owner’s manual. This guide will cover everything from oil change intervals to more major service points like tune-ups and transmission service. While maintenance is crucial to any car’s life and health, it’s especially important if you purchase a new car. Warranty coverage often hinges upon following certain recommended service points. (Note: You do not have to take your auto back to the dealership for service. You can choose an independent shop as long as you and/or the shop maintain records to support the maintenance schedule requirements.)
In addition to following the manufacturer’s guide, you can discuss service needs with one of our technicians. Your needs may vary depending on your car’s age and your driving habits. For example, older cars sometimes have special needs such as more frequent checks for fluid leaks. Also, if your vehicle sits unused for extended periods of time or is driven excessive amounts or under extreme weather conditions, you may want to consider an amended service schedule. We’re even prepared to assist you with less common transportation maintenance needs. Yes, we do hybrid service and repair. Have a fleet of cars or light duty trucks?
