Car maintenance and its importance

Car maintenance or vehicle service

• It is a series of maintenance procedures carried
  out at a set time interval or after the vehicle
  has travelled a certain distance. The service
  intervals are specified by the vehicle
  manufacturer in a service schedule and some
  modern cars display the due date for the next
  service electronically on the instrument panel.

How to schedule it?

• The actual schedule of car maintenance varies
  depending on the year, make, and model of a car,
  its driving conditions and driver behavior. Car
  makers recommend the so-called extreme or the
  ideal service schedule based on impact parameters
  such as
• number of trips and distance traveled per trip
  per day
• extreme hot or cold climate conditions
• mountainous, dusty or de-iced roads

Cont..

• heavy stop-and-go vs. long-distance cruising
• towing a trailer or other heavy load
• Experienced service advisors in dealerships and
  independent shops recommend schedule intervals,
  which are often in between the ideal or extreme
  service schedule. They base it on the driving
  conditions and behavior of the car owner or
  driver.
