What Car Maintenance Should I Be Doing, and How Often?
At McCormick’s, we always recommend staying proactive with your vehicle through regular preventative maintenance. Routine maintenance helps keep your car running efficiently, improves reliability, and can help prevent costly repairs down the road.
Our team of ASE Certified Technicians uses the latest diagnostic tools and technology to properly inspect, service, repair, and maintain your vehicle, so you can drive with confidence.
What Is Preventative Maintenance?
Preventative maintenance means regularly inspecting and servicing your vehicle to help identify small issues before they turn into larger problems. Staying on top of maintenance can improve your vehicle’s performance, safety, fuel efficiency, and lifespan—while potentially saving you money over time.
To help catch potential issues early, our experienced technicians perform a free digital safety inspection on every vehicle that comes into our shop. This inspection gives you a clear understanding of:
- Your vehicle’s current condition
- Any maintenance or repairs we recommend now
- Services you may need in the future
We believe in helping you make informed decisions about your vehicle with honest recommendations and transparent communication every step of the way.
Why Regular Vehicle Maintenance Matters
Keeping up with routine vehicle maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your investment and avoid unexpected breakdowns. Services like oil changes, tire rotations, fluid checks, brake inspections, and battery testing all play an important role in keeping your vehicle running safely and efficiently.
At McCormick’s, we take a proactive approach to vehicle care. Our ASE Certified Technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and thorough inspections to help identify issues early, before they become more serious and expensive repairs.
Whether you’re staying on top of factory-recommended maintenance or preparing for seasonal driving conditions, our team is here to help keep your vehicle reliable for the road ahead.
What maintenance services are often included in preventative maintenance? How often should these things be taken care of in standard cars?
We want you to be just as confident in our car repair abilities as we are. We guarantee our auto repair services with an industry-leading 5 year/60,000 mile warranty (whichever comes first). Whether you need an oil change, brake repair, timing belt replacement, engine service or more, we’ve got you covered. Plus, we also have a free local shuttle service to get you where you need to go while your vehicle is in our shop, and loaner cars available for longer repairs!
Keep in mind, the recommendations listed above are only based upon your vehicle’s mileage or time since that service was last performed. It is always possible that upon visual inspection, our team will make recommendations that may fall inside or outside of the windows listed depending upon the driving conditions and use of the vehicle. Our team of technicians will inspect your vehicle and all of the above listed items each and every time your vehicle arrives for any service. We perform a digital safety inspection at each visit that will visually inspect all of the fluids that your vehicle has as well as any other items that may fall into the “wearable part” category and will advise if there are any needed preventative maintenance items serviced at this visit or if it is needed in the upcoming months.
* The preventative maintenance recommendations may vary depending on vehicle type, driving habits and/or owner’s manual recommendations.
