When to Schedule Vehicle Maintenance
In general, it’s wise to schedule vehicle maintenance or tuneups for your vehicle at least a couple times a year. Oil changes are recommended about once every six months, or as often as your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends. Tire rotations are usually recommended about once every 5,000 to 6,000 miles. You should have your car’s A/C and heating checked out before seasonal or temperature changes to ensure they are ready to keep you comfortable. Overall, the amount of maintenance you need will depend on your vehicle’s make and model, age, and overall condition, so schedule an appointment with Palm Beach Tire Pros & Auto Repair to learn more.
