What is My Car Maintenance Schedule?

A common question we hear at the John Holt Auto Group, Inc. service center is, “What is my car maintenance schedule?” While there is not a one size fits all answer to this question, as maintenance requirements vary by make and model, there are general car service guidelines that should suffice for most vehicles. Staying on top of your car maintenance schedule in Amber ensures that your vehicle gets the care and attention to detail that it deserves. While we always recommend consulting your owner’s manual for recommended service intervals, you can also explore our general car maintenance schedule below. 

 

 

Standard Suggested Car Maintenance Schedule

Every 3 months or 3,000 miles:

  • Automatic transmission, power steering, wiper fluid levels
  • Engine oil and air filter
  • Belts, exhaust, and hoses
  • All lights inside and out
  • Fuel filter
  • Tire pressure, tire tread wear and tear check

Every 6 months or 6,000 miles:

  • Car battery and cables
  • Chassis lubrication
  • Windshield wipers
  • Polish your vehicle

Every 12 months or 12,000 miles:

  • Brake system
  • Coolant levels
  • Transmission fluid levels
  • Steering and suspension

Monthly Car Maintenance

In addition to bringing your vehicle in for the services listed on the above car maintenance schedule, there are also simple service tasks you can perform right at home on a monthly basis to keep your vehicle running smoothly for many years to come: 

  • Check to see if the check engine light is on
  • Clean the interior and exterior
  • Make sure all the interior and exterior lights work
  • Check tire pressure and tread
  • Make sure windshield wiper fluid is filled 

The Benefits of Following a Car Maintenance Schedule 

Why is it so important to follow a car maintenance schedule? First and foremost, you can drive with complete peace of mind on Tabler and Norge roads knowing that your vehicle is safe and in optimal condition. Regular service visits also help catch small issues before they lead to major repairs. 

What’s more? A well-maintained vehicle holds on to more of its resale value, and if you plan to sell your car in the future, a well-documented service history will make it more appealing to potential buyers.
