30k, 60k, 90k, 120k, 150k Inspections

These are now known as “Factory-Required Maintenance Services” and they are now more important than ever for newer vehicles.

Why?

Simply because of how manufacturing has changed. There are different materials, different oils and so, different needs for each brand and sometimes, each model too.

Now, each brand has its own maintenance schedule

We look up every vehicle for its specific maintenance schedule because each manufacturer has a different set of services.

An example of this is a 30k factory-required maintenance service for a ‘09 Ford 150 truck may be very different than a ‘14 Nissan Juke at the same mileage.

Manufacturing is different now

The biggest services were traditionally at 30k mile intervals, but that isn’t a hard & fast rule either with today’s modern vehicles.

Some brands have a 20k mile service for transmission services, brake flushes, and cabin filter replacements.

Timing belts, for some vehicles, are replaced at 105k miles now, where an older model’s timing belt would be replaced at 60k miles.

We follow what is recommended, or “factory required” by the manufacturer and according to:

• age
• mileage
• make, and
• model

Lots of specific details!

As a vehicle ages and is used, it definitely needs more care and attention. We’d like to suggest a few things for you to think about in terms of maintenance, both short and long-term when you’re considering a new car or truck, or if and when you are faced with a 60k factory required maintenance appointment.

How long do you want to keep your vehicle?

Consider the timeline of your ownership.

What does this mean?

Do you want to keep your vehicle in great shape for long-term ownership? Or, are you an owner who’d like to get a newer car every 4-5 years?

Care for wear & tear

The care and maintenance you give your car in the beginning and throughout your ownership will determine how your car will last for you -and perform for you, mileage-wise & age-wise.

If you don’t take care of it in the beginning, it’s not going to last for you in the end.

If you get your car serviced on a regular basis, your car is going to last longer, and be more reliable for you and your family.
