Importance of preventative maintenance
In simple terms, preventive maintenance is taking care to protect your vehicle against major damages that may necessitate major repairs. Oftentimes, car manufacturers recommend regular maintenance and service intervals in order to help you get the most out of your car. This includes its performance, durability, reliability, and eventual resale value if you do decide to resell.
It is important to note that you may need to get your car serviced more often than the recommended intervals depending on the usage of the car. For instance, driving short commutes, carrying excessively heavy cargo, extreme temperatures, driving in rough terrain and even stop-and-go traffic can affect the performance of your engine. If your vehicle experiences any of these, then you need to have more regular servicing of your vehicle than recommended if you wish to keep using your vehicle at its optimal performance level.
