Preventive Maintenance
What is Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive Maintenance is the routinely scheduled services, inspections and part replacements that your vehicle manufacturer recommends based on several factors including vehicle age, mileage and your driving conditions. The recommended services and schedules vary from vehicle to vehicle.
Following your manufacturer’s scheduled service recommendations, or factory scheduled maintenance, is the best way to assure proper functioning of your vehicle’s engine, parts, and systems. Proper routine maintenance helps keep your car safe and fuel-efficient. And without it, you risk costly repairs or even a breakdown.
Details about your vehicle’s scheduled service recommendations are available in your owner’s manual, or just stop by SpeeDee and ask for your car’s manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule – we’ll be happy to review it with you.
What about my Manufacturer Warranty?
Most automobile warranties require that you comply with the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule to keep the warranty valid. However, unless the dealer provides the article or service without charge under the terms of the warranty, you do not have to go to the auto dealer to get the maintenance work done. You can come to SpeeDee to perform these services.
