Auto preventative maintenance reduces the likelihood that your vehicle will need major repairs and can keep it running at maximum efficiency. It’s important to remember that every vehicle is different, and the preventative maintenance that your car requires depends on its specific qualities, so always follow your vehicle’s maintenance schedule and service interval record whenever possible. Generally speaking, there are some common forms of regular and infrequent auto preventative maintenance that can keep your vehicle performing at peak levels.

  • Rotating your tires will increase their lifespan and efficacy.
