Have your vehicle serviced regularly
The timing of your car service depends on two main factors: the vehicle’s age and mileage. Most manufactures recommend booking a full service for a new car after the first 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Following this, service schedules are typically every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, or once a year. Note that this can vary based on the make and model of your car, so it’s always best to refer to your owner’s manual.
Getting your car serviced regularly can uncover hidden problems that aren’t immediately obvious. For instance, issues with the engine, brakes, or transmission, which require a professional’s expertise to diagnose and fix.
What is General Car Maintenance?
General car maintenance consists of many small things, but they add up. Taking care of your daily driver should be a priority of yours. Not only does regular car maintenance make your car last longer, but it saves you from costly repairs—or worse, needing to buy a new car.
General car maintenance includes actions such as checking your tires, changing your oil and filter, examining belts, removing battery corrosion, and more! Some are easy enough to accomplish alone, yet some require a professional auto mechanic to get it done right.
When a car is new, it takes about 5,000 miles before you should begin routine maintenance. This first check-up is important because the car parts are “breaking themselves in.” For example, the oil pan may release some metal fragments that need to be drained with the oil. It will also be checked to make sure all valves and hoses are not leaking anything straight from the factory.
After the first scheduled maintenance, you can go from 5,000 to 10,000 miles between check-ups. To find out what is best for your car, seeking out the owner’s manual for answers is always one of your most valuable resources.
