*Studies show 5 percent of all vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect. Following a preventative maintenance schedule will greatly extend the life of your vehicle while making it safer to operate.

• Always consult your owner’s manual scheduled maintenance
• Change oil every 3,000 miles
• Always have your vehicles fluids checked
• Tire inflation is critical ; check at least once a month
• Make sure engine stays tuned and don’t ignore “check engine” lights
• Lube chassis at every oil change interval
• Have battery cables and connections checked regularly
• Have the lighting system checked regularly; bulbs can burn out without your knowing.
• Replace wiper blades once a year
• Have your belts and hoses checked at all service intervals
• Check your air filter at least every other oil change
