Preventive maintenance is a necessary expense to keep your vehicle in good running condition. Following the scheduled maintenance recommendations in your owner's manual, checking fluid levels regularly and changing the fluids and filters periodically can minimize the risks of breakdowns and prolong the life of the engine, transmission, cooling system and brakes. So if you are driving a "maintenance challenged" vehicle, you need to pay closer attention to your fluids and filters.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Air Conditioning Performance Test and Cabin Air Filter Replacement each year
• Brake Fluid Flush each 30K miles
• Brake Inspection Service each year
• Clutch Fluid Flush each 30k miles
• Cooling System Hoses each 5 years
• Fuel Injection Service each 30K miles
• Power Steering Fluid Flush each 30K miles
