Frequently Asked Questions
About Preventive Maintenance
What is preventive maintenance and what does it typically include?
Preventive maintenance is a schedule of regular, proactive services designed to keep your vehicle running efficiently and safely. Instead of waiting for something to break, we address key components to prevent future failures. A typical service at our clinic includes an oil and filter change, tire rotation and pressure check, fluid level inspection (for brakes, coolant, transmission), and a check of belts, hoses, and lights.
How often should I have preventive maintenance done on my car?
The ideal frequency depends on your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations (found in your owner’s manual), your mileage, and your driving habits. A general guideline is every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, for a precise recommendation tailored to your car’s specific needs, we can create a custom schedule for you based on our findings from our free 21-point digital inspection.
Is preventive maintenance really worth the cost?
Absolutely. Think of it as a small investment to protect a very large one. The cost of routine maintenance is significantly lower than the cost of a major engine, transmission, or brake failure. By catching issues early, you save money on expensive repairs, improve fuel efficiency, and increase your vehicle’s resale value.
What are the risks if I decide to skip regular maintenance?
Skipping maintenance can lead to a number of risks. These include a higher chance of unexpected and dangerous breakdowns, reduced fuel economy (costing you more at the pump), and excessive wear on critical components like your engine and transmission. Ultimately, neglecting your car leads to a shorter vehicle lifespan and much more expensive, complex repairs down the road.
If my "Check Engine" light comes on, is that a sign I need maintenance?
Yes, the “Check Engine” light is a crucial alert from your car’s computer that a sensor has detected a problem. While it could be something simple, it can also indicate a more serious issue with your engine, transmission, or emissions system. As part of our service, we can diagnose the specific trouble code to pinpoint the exact problem, ensuring a small issue doesn’t become a major one.
Why should I choose a professional shop like EPRAUTO CLINIC for this service?
