The average price of a new vehicle is close to $40,000. With that much money invested in your car, you want to protect it—and preventative maintenance is the answer. Some regular maintenance services include the following:
There are two sides to maintenance: The first is the maintenance schedule outlined by your vehicle’s manufacturer in the owner’s manual. Generally, if you follow this, you will avoid all major repairs: The only exception is for consumables, things like tires, brakes, and wiper blades that will eventually need to be replaced. The second side of maintenance is determined by your personal driving habits. For example, do you spend minimal time on the road, or do you drive to and from downtown Cleveland for work from your home in Parma Heights? This will impact your maintenance needs.
All drivers—no matter what type of vehicle you own or how much you drive—must prioritize preventative maintenance. It is critical to your car’s performance and safety, and it can also save you money in the long run. Many drivers are hesitant to investigate a strange noise or vibration because they worry the cost to fix the problem will be high. The reality is that in most cases, the earlier on you identify an issue, the less difficult and expensive it is to repair. We can often perform an adjustment or lubrication to resolve the problem. But if you ignore it, it will only get worse.
Every time you bring your vehicle in for service, whether it is an oil change, tire rotation, or an A/C repair, we take a look at everything. Our technicians have the training, experience, and knowledge to identify potential issues before they become a major problem. The goal is to help you save money on future repairs by investing in routine maintenance. For example, we may recommend a brake fluid flush, a service that costs about $150, depending on your vehicle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture. Over time, if it is not replaced, it will become acidic and eat away at your brake components. If you decline the brake fluid maintenance, you will likely end up needing a total brake replacement which can cost $2,000 or more. The math just makes sense: Investing in regular maintenance can save you a lot of money in future repairs.
