An automobile, whether it is brand new or a pre-owned vehicle, is a big investment. The Nest Insurance Agency, serving Lubbock and Amarillo, TX, would like to remind you that you should protect that investment by taking your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance as stipulated in your owner’s manual.

What is the scheduled maintenance?

The definition will depend on your car’s model, make, and year. Generally, a technician will check various parts of your vehicle, such as belts, hoses, and so on, for signs of wear and tear. The technician will also check critical systems, such as your brakes and transmission, to find out if your vehicle is safe to drive. Your fluids, such as the oil, will be changed periodically as recommended by the manufacturer of your vehicle.

If something is about to go amiss, such as worn brakes, the technician will consult with you and give recommendations for repairs. It is a good idea to follow those recommendations so that the repairs can be done in the auto service center and not after a mishap has happened on the road. It is better to address any problem in your vehicle before it becomes a problem.

You should always use a reputable service center to do your scheduled maintenance. Some garages will try to tack on added services that are not on the recommended list in your owner’s manual. Unless there is a good reason for such an addition, find someone else to do your scheduled maintenance.
