Scheduled (Preventative) Maintenance

Burke Centre Automotive will help you establish a maintenance schedule and keep track of your basic car care.

Regular auto maintenance of your car is like health insurance for your transportation. Your vehicle needs regular maintenance to retain its safety, dependability, performance, fuel economy, and emission-control capabilities. Regular maintenance also makes sound financial sense. Lower-cost maintenance and service can help prevent higher-cost repairs. Regular maintenance will also help to prolong the life of your tires, brakes, and other vehicle components and systems.

Preventative Maintenance is the commonly used terminology because it helps to prevent costly and dangerous breakdowns and repairs. The maintenance recommendations for new cars are the basis of the manufacturer's warranty. The automaker warrants your vehicle against defects over the specified time or mileage IF the vehicle receives the scheduled maintenance. Your owner's manual is the best source for a list of maintenance services and the time and/or mileage intervals at which they should be performed.

Here are some general guidelines developed by industry sources:

Inspect lights and check tire pressure At least monthly
Oil and filter change and chassis lubrication 3,000 to 5,000 miles or 3 to 4 months
Underhood belt and hose inspection 3,000 to 5,000 miles or 3 to 4 months (every oil change)
Tire rotation and wheel balancing 6,000 miles or every other oil change
Brake inspection 6,000 miles or every other oil change
Replace air filter 12,000 to 24,000 miles or as indicated by auto inspection
Replace fuel filter 24,000 to 100,000 miles
Automatic transmission service 24,000 to 100,000 miles
Wheel alignment check 12,000 to 24,000 miles or as indicated by tire wear
Cooling system flush and refill 40,000 to 100,000 miles
Belt and hose replacement 60,000 to 100,000 miles or 5 to 8 years
Engine timing belt replacement 60,000 to 100,000 miles (when equipped) or 5 to 8 years
Air conditioning performance check Annually, usually in the spring
