Factory Scheduled Maintenance in Gainesville, TX

What Is Factory Scheduled Maintenance?

Factory scheduled maintenance is the routine service recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer at specific mileage or time intervals. Unlike repairing a problem after it happens, scheduled maintenance is designed to help prevent problems and keep your vehicle's systems operating properly.

Depending on your vehicle's make, model, mileage, and maintenance schedule, recommended services may include oil and filter changes, fluid services, inspections, tire rotation, brake inspections, filter replacement, spark plug replacement, and other manufacturer-recommended services.

When Is My Vehicle Due for Maintenance?

Newer Vehicles

Follow the maintenance intervals listed in your owner's manual. Many newer vehicles also display maintenance reminders on the dashboard.

Higher-Mileage Vehicles
