Mileage, time and why skipped service costs more
Your manufacturer sets maintenance by mileage, by time or both. Many say to go with whichever comes first. That's because fluids and rubber parts break down with age, so even a car that mostly sits still needs service.
Little jobs done on time stay little. A missed fluid change or tire rotation can turn into a repair that costs a lot more. Hold on to your receipts, too. A service history keeps track of what's been done, and buyers like seeing one when you sell.
The cost depends on which service you're due for. We'll tell you what's due, what it costs and what can wait, before we start anything. Mention a loaner when you schedule service. If something already seems wrong with the car, a diagnosis is the place to start.
