When you buy a car, the manufacturer will generally recommend that you bring it in for service at certain junctures. These benchmarks are an opportunity to assess wear and tear, foresee potential problems and replace parts before they become an issue. Because so many aspects of your vehicle work together, what affects one component can impact others, leading to expensive repairs that could easily have been prevented.

What is Scheduled Maintenance?

Manufacturers often have routine service schedules applicable based on a vehicle’s age and mileage. Some intervals recur every 20,000 kms or 24 months. A service check up is designed to address maintenance and inspection items applicable to the respective mileage intervals. Generally, these items may include filter changes, fluid changes and a comprehensive visual maintenance inspection as well as other items, depending on the specific mileage interval.
