Regular maintenance is important to enhance the performance of your vehicle, and protect the value of your investment.

Maintenance Intervals
Most vehicles have regular maintenance intervals as well as similar recommended service items. Average intervals include 3 month or 5,000 kilometers for oil and filter service. Every 6 months or 10,000 kilometers we recommend oil and filter service, tire rotation, top off all fluids and overall inspection. For additional required service intervals, consult your owner’s manual. These intervals are continuous throughout a vehicles life.
Older vehicles or vehicles with high mileage normally require more frequent adjustments and replacement of wearing parts. These parts wear out during normal vehicle use and may need service or replacement in between regular service intervals. Normal wearing parts include:
-
Brake pads
-
Shoes
-
Rotors
-
Drums
-
Timing belts

Drive belts
