Scheduled maintenance helps you maintain your vehicle for many years without costly repairs. Your vehicle is one of the largest purchases you will make. It makes good sense to have periodic auto maintenance and tune ups to keep your vehicle running like new. That’s why we offer a wide variety of vehicle maintenance services. We can also perform any factory scheduled maintenance that your vehicle requires.
Auto Maintenance & Maintenance Schedules
A preventive auto maintenance program is instrumental in reducing and avoiding costly repairs, and keeping your vehicle safe, reliable, and in proper operating condition. To do that, means sitting down with a service advisor, and figuring out what items need attention now, what need attention later, and what will need attention in the future.
That’s not the only thing to think about when it comes to car and truck maintenance. Your OEM, or ‘original equipment manufacturer’ will have set mileage, times, and intervals that your vehicle will need service. Sometimes these ‘scheduled services’ are condition based. That means you don’t perform them unless a fluid, or part, actually shows signs of needing service. However, there are often manufacturer recommended services that should be performed, to avoid risk of failure. Timing belt replacement, or oil changes are a good example. If you neglect these services past their ‘scheduled’ time frame – severe damages occur!
Scheduled Maintenance Is Not Just Tune-Ups
New vehicles have several different types of ignition and fuel systems. Most of the old ‘tune-up’ parts are missing from modern cars & trucks. Some new cars have hybrid setups that require extensive maintenance to multiple systems as part of a ‘Tune-up.’ Since they are more complicated, professional repair shops will require examination of vehicle condition before quoting a tune-up, to ensure you’re not spending money you don’t have to.
Fluid Maintenance Can Save You From Costly Repairs
A lot of people think that oil is the only fluid you need to change regularly. The other fluids flowing through the veins of your power steering, transmission, differential(s), and transfer case are just as important. Each of these fluids gets dirty with use, and the special chemicals that keep them working break down over time. These fluids are the life-blood of your vehicle, and keeping them clean, keeps your car healthy too.
The fluid circulating through the systems in your car, is usually the first line of defense against wear and tear. As a result, servicing these fluids helps slow down wear, and sometimes, pushes off failure of expensive parts for years. A-1 Custom Car Care wants to help you keep your car OUT of the repair shop if we can. Often, that means servicing the fluids in your vehicle before you break a part.
A-1 Custom Car Care is locally owned and operates in Springfield MO and Republic MO. We base our business model on the simple idea that we treat customers the same way we all want to be treated: with honesty, competence and respect. Come see us for all of your scheduled auto maintenance services.
