How to Protect Your Vehicle with Auto Maintenance Service
Do you know what the best thing you can do for your vehicle? Learn about the importance of periodic auto maintenance.

“If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to be an ASE-certified automotive technician, consider this: in the space of one career, automotive engine technology alone has advanced from purely mechanical devices that need periodic adjustments to sophisticated, computer-controlled systems that can actually compensate for normal wear.

To protect your automotive investment, and to get the maximum reliability and safety from the vehicle you depend upon daily, you need to establish and follow a maintenance plan. The best place to start a maintenance program is by reading your owner’s manual. In it you will find the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. This is based on “normal” driving, but very few of us drive “normally.” The roads are typically dusty and strewn with potholes and speed bumps.
