For most of us, buying a new or used vehicle is a a major investment, second only to buying a house. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price of a new car sold in the United States is $30,748. That?s why it?s important to let our dealerships take care of your car after you buy it.

As a car owner you probably already know just how expensive it can be to own and operate a vehicle. Between the purchase price, the cost of insurance and gasoline, there is often little left over in the automobile budget to work with. It is important for all car owners to set aside extra money in their budget to cover routine maintenance as well as funds for emergency repairs. Fortunately if you follow the suggestions of your local New Car dealer as well as the instructions in your owner's manual you can often avoid costly repairs. Here we look at a basic vehicle maintenance guide to ensure your car is running in tip top shape. As always, consult with a trusted mechanic if you have questions or issues beyond normal wear and tear.

A National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) study found that at least half of all vehicle owners neglect routine maintenance, with young people being the least likely to keep up with service schedules.

Almost two-thirds of automotive technicians believe you can take care of your vehicles? maintenance and repair needs for less than $500 a year. Considering the average cost and complexity of a new vehicle, you may be penny-wise and dollar-foolish if you neglect routine maintenance.

Vehicle maintenance means keeping all the systems and features functioning as closely as possible to the manufacturer?s original design intentions. Routine maintenance should be an ongoing process that begins when the vehicle is new, because any machine that receives use will also accumulate wear. And no one is better equipped to take care of your new Ford, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, or Toyota than our skilled and dedicated technicians.

Proactively tending to your vehicle?s maintenance needs is likely to help your vehicle start, run, and stop as the manufacturer intended, so you get the maximum amount of performance, reliability, and service life. Periodic inspections of the vehicle?s systems are the easiest way to monitor its health.
