How often should I have vehicle maintenance performed?

The time frame to perform vehicle maintenance is unique to each owner and model of vehicle. Depending on the car and how often you use the vehicle, you may need to have your vehicle serviced or maintained more frequently than normal. Read through the owners’ manual to check for specific recommendations. Within the manual, look for the most important points like the timing chain, timing belt, and U-joints.

Alternatively, you can consult a professional, who will probably recommend bringing your vehicle in for an oil change once every three to six months. Of course, this also depends on how far you drive each year. To ensure your vehicle is in the best possible condition, bring the car to a professional maintenance technician at least once per year. A well-maintained vehicle is more efficient and costs less to operate.
