When to Schedule Preventative Maintenance?

Scheduling maintenance at the right intervals is essential, but timing can vary based on factors like driving habits, vehicle age, climate conditions, and manufacturer recommendations.

  • Every 15,000 Miles: Replace air filters, check fluids, and inspect belts and hoses.
  • Every 30,000 Miles: Replace fuel filters and inspect the brake system.
