Questions

Maintenance FAQ

It depends on your vehicle, because each manufacturer sets its own schedule. Typically a 30K service covers oil, filters, a tire rotation and inspections; 60K adds items like spark plugs and fluid services; 90K can include a timing belt on engines that have one. Give us your year, make and model and we’ll go by your factory schedule.

Go by the interval in your owner’s manual or your car’s maintenance reminder; it depends on the engine, the oil it takes and how you drive. Give us the year, make and model and we’ll go by the factory schedule.

Generally, no. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can’t void your warranty just because an independent shop did the maintenance. Keep your receipts and follow the factory schedule.
