Why is Routine Maintenance Important?

Today, automakers are making vehicles that last longer and are more efficient than ever before. However, routine maintenance is a part of ownership no matter which vehicle you buy. In fact, staying on top of your routine maintenance is one of the best ways to save money on gas and future repairs.

Tune-ups help keep your vehicle at peak efficiency

Check the owner’s manual that came with your car so you can review the scheduled maintenance plan prescribed by the manufacturer of your car. These scheduled tasks can help you keep your car running smoothly. Depending on which system needs tuning, you can considerably improve the gas mileage of your car. If you no longer have your owner's manual, call the service center at your dealer for assistance.

Discover minor issues before they become big problems

If you have noticed that your car requires more visits to the filling station lately, your car may need repairs. Some engine repairs, such as replacing a bad oxygen sensor, can improve fuel economy by as much as 40 percent, according to fueleconomy.gov. You should schedule an appointment with the service technicians at your dealer to have your car inspected for needed repairs.

Tire pressure contributes to fuel efficiency

Government data suggests that keeping your tires properly inflated can improve fuel economy by more than 3 percent. Drivers who do not know how to check the air pressure in the tires on their car should call or visit their dealer for help. This simple maintenance action will extend the life of tires and improve the gas mileage of your car.
