Regular Car and Truck Maintenance 
We know that no two cars (or their drivers) are the same, which is why we give you and your vehicle personalized care! Whether you're driving in a metropolitan area, on congested highways, or backroads in the country makes all the difference when it comes to getting oil changes for your vehicle, as well as a host of other preventative maintenance solutions. Stop and go driving requires more frequent engine and transmission repair while driving on a highway could be less stressful on your car as a whole. Whatever your case is, we'll take the time to learn about how frequently you use the car to suggest a proper maintenance schedule. After all, your car belongs out on the road—not always in the shop!
When To Schedule Car Service
Whether you're sticking to your preventative maintenance program or you're dealing with a sudden problem that could keep you from where you need to go, an expert's touch can make all the difference. To ensure that all of your maintenance tasks are taken care of, you must know when to schedule vehicle service. Consider these guidelines moving forward:
- Get oil and oil filter changes for your vehicle as often as the manufacturer recommends
- Rotate your tires every six months
- Balance/align wheels every six months
- Install new windshield wipers every year or so
- Clean and test your battery every 3 to 5 years
- Replace spark plugs about every 30,000 miles
While these general pointers can help you stay on top of your vehicle's health and performance, we recommend adjusting your maintenance schedule to your particular vehicle's condition. If you have questions about preventative vehicle maintenance, contact Peruzzi Nissan today!
