Factory Scheduled Maintenance

Factory recommended maintenance is crucial because it lets you avoid a large amount of troubles down the road. Often a big auto repair problem began with a small issue that was never fixed.

Factory Scheduled Maintenance is a series of recommended service procedures and checks outlined by vehicle manufacturers, based on specific mileage or time intervals.

This maintenance plan is tailored to the needs of each specific vehicle model and typically includes oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, fluid checks, and replacements, along with inspections of various mechanical and electrical components.

At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we provide comprehensive factory scheduled maintenance services, adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure your vehicle operates at its best, maintaining its warranty, and maximizing its lifespan.

Frequently asked questions

If it's a car, we'll fix it. If it's a question, we'll answer it.

Can I perform factory scheduled maintenance tasks myself?

Some basic tasks like checking fluid levels or replacing filters might be manageable, but it is important to have a professional technician give your vehicle comprehensive inspections and service at regular intervals to protect the health and longevity of your vehicle.

Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the recommended interval?

Simply put, yes. If a timing belt fails, many cars will result in major engine damage when the belt goes. Especially with interference engines. This can cause broken or bent valves and damage to your pistons. The cost of repairing your engine with this damage is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.
