What Is Maintenance And Why Do I Need It?

Automotive maintenance is a mystery to most people.  We feel our job at Accomplished Auto is not only to fix vehicles when they break, but help educate our customers so they can get every mile out of their investment.  A vehicle is a highly sophisticated machine and like any type of machine, it needs maintenance to live up to its potential.  An automobile is designed to NEVER fail, but unfortunately, from time to time, they do.  Performing routine service is the first step in keeping those failures to a minimum.

It is not uncommon for today’s vehicles to last well over 200,000 miles. With the advancements of technology and engineering today’s vehicles produce less emissions, more power, burn less gasoline, are much safer, and last longer than ever imagined.  One of these advancements has been in the oils used in your driveline.  Even though they have been improved upon, they still break down.  When oil breaks down the parts they are designed to lubricate start to wear, it’s this wear that eventually leads to costly break-downs or vehicle replacement.  In most cases that break-down could have been avoided with simple preventative maintenance.

The general public has been well educated on when to perform oil changes but what about the rest of the vehicle?  The manufacturer of your vehicle has specific guidelines to address all aspects of maintaining your vehicle and at what intervals it should be done.  A major factor to consider is the type of driving you do and the climate that most of your driving is done in.  This maintenance menu is designed to help familiarize you with the needs of your vehicle and help you keep it running like it did when it was new.
