If you have an Asian-made vehicle, you may not be able to take your car just anywhere for maintenance and especially repair. Some mechanics only work on American-made cars, and they would have to make a special order for Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Lexus, Suzuki, Mazda, Accura, Infiniti, or Mitsubishi cars. They also may not have the right diagnostic machines for the computers in these vehicles. The Auto repair Franklin service that you select should be familiar with these makers and their mechanics should ideally be trained specifically in these makers’ protocols and be certified by them.
Basic Auto repair Franklin service should be done at 3,750 miles and repeated every 316 months. Three-month basic service should include at least replacing the engine oil and filter. This is an inexpensive cost, especially compared to the damage that results if the engine oil is never changed or allowed to burn up. The oil filter should be changed, too, because even if it doesn’t look dirty, you’ve just changed out the dirty oil with fresh, clean oil, so it makes sense to start again with a new filter to get the most out of your oil change. At this time, the mechanic will also check all the other fluid levels.
Six-month service starts with changing the oil and filter again, and checking fluid levels. It’s a good idea to add a performance additive and test the charging system. To save on the life of your tires, and make the car safer to drive, have the tires balanced and rotated. Usually, the two rear tires go straight forward, and the front tires go on the back on the opposite sides. Along with rotating the tires, the alignment should be checked.
At 15,000 miles, the car is ready for intermediate service, which should be done once a year. This includes changing the oil and filter, checking fluids, doing a charging test, rotating and balancing the tires, and replacing the engine air filter plus a cabin air filter if you have one. Major service is due at 30,000 miles and should be repeated every two years. They’ll change the oil and filter, check fluids plus add a fuel additive, check the charging system and alignment, rotate and balance the tires, and change the cabin and engine air filters. They’ll also do battery service, change the wiper blades, and service the throttle body.
