Car Maintenance Schedule in Augusta, GA

To keep your car in prime condition, you should stick to an auto maintenance schedule that matches your make and model. If you’re like most drivers, the frequency of oil changes, wheel alignments, and other common maintenance services aren’t new to you. These services should be scheduled every six months to once a year. However, some preventative maintenance services have longer intervals, which means many drivers aren’t aware of them. Keep reading for an in-depth look at what a full maintenance schedule should look like.

Basic Auto Maintenance Schedules

As stated above, you’re probably familiar with the yearly maintenance your vehicle needs, but if you’re new to car care or need a quick refresher, check out the quick guide below.

  • Oil Change: For older vehicles that use traditional motor oil, make sure to schedule an oil change at your local service center every 3,000 miles or three months. If you’re driving a more modern vehicle that uses synthetic oil, you likely only need bi-annual oil changes at 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
  • Tire and Wheel Services: The service intervals for your tires and wheels are dependent on your driving habits, but our technicians here at Milton Ruben CDJR recommend regularly checking your tire pressure and tread depth. You will likely need a tire rotation every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.

30/60/90 Preventative Auto Maintenance Schedule
