More than anything else, there's one way to ensure that your car enjoys a long, happy life -- and that's making sure to service it on a regular basis. It doesn't matter whether you're driving a high-end luxury car or are behind the wheel of a hard-working pickup, the simple truth is that every vehicle needs to be serviced on a routine schedule to keep it in top running condition for years and years. That's why many of our customers return to us, trusting their vehicles to the experts in our Service Center.
Here are our top five reasons to pay attention to your service recommendations and manufacturer's maintenance schedules:
- Safety. There's no reason to sugarcoat this. Many accidents that occur aren't actually the result of bad driving or poor weather conditions. They happen because someone put off taking care of their vehicle and continued to drive around with faulty brakes, tires that should have been replaced or worn-out windshield wipers. When you schedule regular service appointments at M&F Auto Sales, our technicians point out when parts need replacing or repair.
- Higher resale value. With the advent of vehicle history reports, most car buyers rightfully want assurance that the vehicle they're thinking of purchasing has been well-maintained. By service your car regularly, and keeping your records in order, you can quickly show them that yours is a vehicle to be trusted.
- Lower cost of ownership. This may seem counter-intuitive, but regular maintenance can catch problems early and prevent them from requiring a major rebuild. That winds up costing you less in the long run, while also ensuring that your vehicle spends more time on the road than the lift.
- Greater performance and reliability. By changing the oil regularly and keeping other fluids leveled off, you reduce the potential for sludge and particles to start causing wear and tear.
- Fewer emergencies. Let's face it: breaking down by the side of the road is one of the most frustrating experiences you can have. Routine maintenance helps lower the risk of this happening, saving you time, money, and embarrassment.
