Factory Scheduled Maintenance

A new vehicle isn’t cheap these days, even the bottom line of all makes is going to cost you upwards of $5,000. However, one thing they all come within different levels is a factory vehicle warranty and factory vehicle maintenance. The factory vehicle warranty is what comes from the vehicle manufacturer providing you their guarantee that if anything breaks or goes out within a certain time, the dealership will repair or replace it at no charge to you. 

What is the basic maintenance of a vehicle?

The basic factory maintenance can vary from manufacturers to manufacturer, but the overall goal is to keep the vehicle you purchased in top condition. This is done by checking the important components and systems of the vehicle so that it is operating at an optimum level safely. The first scheduled factory vehicle maintenance is usually between 7,500 miles and 10,000 miles. Some manufacturers will suggest the first factory vehicle maintenance at 100,000 miles.  The mileage will vary between manufacturers and the model of the vehicle. 

After the first factory vehicle maintenance, How often should vehicle maintenance be done? Depending on the make and model, the frequency is typically measured by the mileage and can vary on the make and model of the vehicle. The mileage could be anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000 miles, with a few car manufacturers stating 100,000 miles. Other vehicle manufacturers recommend every 6 months.
