The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends the service that is required to keep your car working properly for its lifetime. We have all factory-recommended maintenance records for every vehicle on the road today. The mile interval services both minor and major include inspections and/or replacements of spark plugs, timing belts, cabin filters, fuel filters, cooling system, fuel injection service, brakes, batteries, belts, exhaust, suspensions, and tires. We will use only original equipment parts.
We have found for the vehicles that carry the free service warranty for 3 years or 50,000 miles or longer many components are not serviced properly. Many times we have vehicles arrive at our facility only to find the air filter is clogged badly and the most non-serviced items are cabin filters. Did you know the cabin filter is recommended to be replaced every 15,000 to 20,000 miles?
Most manufacturers are recommending synthetic oil changes every 15,000 miles. At Wrights Car Care we would never allow a vehicle to go longer than 7,500 miles no matter the type of oil is recommended. If you follow the manufacturer's recommendations your vehicle will run great until the vehicle is in the 80,000 to 100,000 mile range which is most likely out of warranty this is when many drivers start to have oil-related problems. A 7,500-mile oil change will help your engine to last longer.
Pre-certified vehicles and warranties. Some dealers are very thorough with their inspections and pre-certifications. In many cases, we find that all items under warranty are inspected and repaired. However, the standard service items are not completed. Many times customers will find upon returning the vehicle for standard service items the dealer has not performed those under the pre-certification. You may end up with additional charges to repair these items. It is a good idea to have your vehicle inspected by an independent auto repair shop before you purchase so there will be no surprises.
After-market Warranty Companies - "Beware" Always try to buy the Original Manufacturer's warranty from your dealer only. In the event, that your dealer is not offering an original manufacturer warranty read the fine print carefully some aftermarket warranty companies have to exclude items that would be covered by the O.E warranty. For example, they cover the engine and transmission for 50 to 100 different items but they don't cover leaks! Always do your research to determine if the warranty company has a good track record. A simple Google search with the words "problems with xxx warranty company" will be a useful tool for your decision process.
