Importance of Maintenance, Even When Driving Less

Your vehicle needs maintenance service to keep it running in good condition. Several maintenance services are based on mileage, however, you still need to take care of your vehicle even if you drive less. Here are some of the most common components of your vehicle that require service based on time.

Engine Oil

The quality of the engine oil can deteriorate even if the engine does not get used. Many experts recommend an oil change at 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or six months, whichever comes first. If you drive your vehicle with deteriorated engine oil, it can cause damage to the engine and reduce the efficiency of the engine. If you use full-synthetic oil, the service interval can be longer, however, we recommend you follow the recommendation from the vehicle manufacturer regarding the service interval and type of engine oil.

Battery

The battery of your vehicle continues to drain even if the vehicle is parked. This is because there are a few components that continue to need current from the battery. The battery can also suffer from corrosion regardless of usage. Our technician can perform a comprehensive battery inspection service to keep it in good working condition. If required, they can also perform a battery replacement service. If you plan on not drive your vehicle for an extended time, we recommend you disconnect the battery.

Tires

The tires can develop several issues if they are not maintained properly. If you leave the tires parked at the same spot, the tires can develop flat spots or loss of tire pressure. The tires can also suffer from compromised flexibly if not left unused over an extended time. We recommend you have regular inspection of the tires by certified technicians and if possible to take your vehicle for a short drive every few days.
