Many parts on your
vehicle are interrelated. Ignoring maintenance can lead to trouble:
specific parts - or an entire system - can fail.
Neglecting even simple routine maintenance, such as changing the
oil or checking the coolant, can lead to poor fuel economy, unreliability,
or costly breakdowns. |

What maintenance guidelines should I follow
to avoid costly repairs?
- Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule in your owner's manual
for your type of driving.
- Some repair shops create their own maintenance schedules, which call
for more frequent servicing than the manufacturer's recommendations.
Compare shop maintenance schedules with those recommended in your owner's
manual. Ask the repair shop to explain - and make sure you understand
- why it recommends service beyond the recommended schedule
