The Power Of Prevention: Why Invest In Automotive Maintenance?
Some vehicle services are more elective than essential, but nobody can afford to skip basic automotive maintenance. Consider this:
- Automotive maintenance keeps Canada’s roadways safe, preventing tire blowouts, brake failures, engine seizures, and steering issues that put you, your passengers, and your fellow drivers at risk.
- Automotive maintenance protects Surrey’s natural environment, reducing carbon emissions, preventing groundwater contamination caused by oil and fluid leaks, keeping spent parts out of landfills for longer, and greatly improving your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
- Automotive maintenance keeps money in your pocket, reducing the costs of auto repairs, keeping parts in service for longer, and helping you save money at the pumps—in fact, a study by Carnegie Mellon University found that even a modest effort to keep tires inflated to the proper level can save you $500 or more per year (Gerson, 2005).
- Automotive maintenance helps you spot signs of trouble, so you can address minor issues before they spiral into major problems.

That said, auto industry experts typically recommend:
- Checking tire pressure at least once per month and inflating your tires according to the manufacturer’s recommendation
- Booking seasonal automotive maintenance around tire changeover time (e.g. before the winter freeze and after the spring thaw)
- Booking a routine automotive maintenance service and oil change after every 5,000km or 3-months of driving
- Booking a tire rotation after every 10,000km or 6 months of driving
- Booking a brake inspection, wheel alignment, and wheel balancing service after every 20,000km or 12 months of driving
- Booking a cooling system service, engine service, and transmission service after every 40,000km or 24 months of driving
