All vehicles must be properly checked up and
maintained regularly to prolong its life and prevent many avoidable unexpected
problems that drivers too often run into when their vehicle lacks regular
maintenance. At Autosmart, unless requested, we do not ask our clients to
have service packages performed on their vehicle based on mileages driven, such
as having an oil change, spark plugs changed along with a transmission flush,
brakes fluid flush, and coolant change all at the same time. In order to
act on the best interest of our clients, we perform only the services that are necessary for their
vehicle.
Here is a list of common services that vehicle
owners should be aware of:
