It would be nice if your initial investment is all you had to worry about, but you need to get on a good service schedule if you want to keep your vehicle protected and running efficiently for years to come.

Scheduling a Routine Oil Change

It might not seem like a big deal, but scheduling an oil change is very important to the overall integrity of your vehicle. Leaving old and dirty oil in your car is only going to make your engine overheat and wear out prematurely. It can also affect other areas of your automobile. Particulates and other matter can end up throughout your transmission, fuel lines, etc. A typical oil change should be performed every 3,000 miles. It might be a little longer if you've invested in a higher quality oil and filter.

Performing an Alignment

If your vehicle needs an alignment, you may notice that there is pulling to one side of the road when driving. This can happen if you've recently driven over debris or a large pothole in the road. It can also be necessary to have an alignment done if you've had work done to your wheels, brakes, or suspension. An alignment can help protect your suspension, and it can also ensure your tires don't wear down at an uneven rate.

Scheduling a Multi-Point Inspection

Once per year, you should have a service center check your vehicle from front to back. There is a long list of items that will be checked during this inspection. The purpose is to address any minor issues that may be going on before they become a bigger problem. A technician may also discover that there are recalls on your vehicle that should be taken care of.
