    What is My Car Maintenance Schedule?

    Keeping up with your vehicle’s regular maintenance schedule is essential to keeping it running smoothly for years to come. Every vehicle has a maintenance schedule to follow. At various mileage intervals, there’s suggested services to keep the parts of your vehicle working properly. Take a look at our guide and let our service center help you keep your vehicle in top shape.

Every Month

While there are many services that won’t need to be done until your vehicle reaches a certain mileage, there are maintenance checks you should do each month. These include:

  • Check to see if the check engine light is on
  • Clean the interior and exterior
  • Make sure all the interior and exterior lights work
  • Check tire pressure and tread
  • Make sure windshield wiper fluid is filled

Every Three Months or 3,000 Miles

Every three months or 3,000 miles, perform the following vehicle maintenance checks:

  • Automatic transmission, power steering, wiper fluid levels
  • Engine oil and air filter
  • Belts, exhaust, and hoses
  • All lights inside and out
  • Fuel filter
  • Tire pressure, tread, and wear and tear

 

Every Six Months or 6,000 Miles

In addition to the above preventative maintenance, you’ll want to do these checks every six months or 6,000 miles:

  • Car battery and cables
  • Chassis lubrication
  • Windshield wipers
  • Polish your vehicle

Every 12 Months or 12,000 Miles

Finally, you should get these car maintenance checks every year, in addition to the three-month and six-month services:

  • Brake system
  • Coolant levels
  • Transmission fluid levels
  • Steering and suspension

Why Follow a Car Maintenance Schedule?

It seems like common sense, but we often forget that our vehicles are intricate machines that need regular care to function properly. Without these routine auto services, you can experience issues with your vehicle that may lead to expensive auto parts and repairs. Routine maintenance not only keeps your car, truck, or SUV running smoothly, but it also saves you money, which is why it’s important you know your vehicle’s specific maintenance schedule.
