Complete Auto Center Pro and the Maintenance Mindset
September 24, 2013
When it comes to their vehicles, some Waterford residents don't have a maintenance mindset. They know they need to take care of their cars, but it just seems really hard to get them to remember to do it. Waterford drivers generally accept that many things in life require regular maintenance, but just may not have applied it to their vehicles.
Here's something that will help: The key to good vehicle maintenance starts with the oil change. Think about it – when you go in for a full-service oil change, your friendly and knowledgeable Complete Auto Center Pro service advisor will check all your fluids. If one of them is low, he can look for the reason why. If your serpentine belt is cracked, he'll see it and let you know. Corroded battery cable – they've got you covered. And at Complete Auto Center Pro, we check to see if your vehicle has recommended any services at your current mileage.
The oil change becomes kind of a focal point, a way to check in to see what needs to be done. The fact is that vehicle inspection surveys consistently reveal that over 80% of vehicles have one or more unperformed repair or maintenance service. Vehicles are generally very reliable and can take a lot of abuse and neglect. But, you've got to remember that vehicles are complicated machines. There are parts and fluids that are critical to their operation. Without them, the vehicle won't run at all.
So when you come in to Complete Auto Center Pro for an oil change, you get advice from your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor and a reminder for recommended services so you can avoid a total failure. And remember that your friendly and knowledgeable Complete Auto Center Pro service advisor can help you work out a maintenance and repair plan, prioritizing and scheduling the work to make sure you and your family are safe, and helping you avoid expensive breakdowns.
