car maintenance

Keeping automobiles running

Car maintenance is the routine care required to keep a vehicle running properly and safely.

It includes tasks like oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks—some performed by owners, others by mechanics.

Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and extends a vehicle's lifespan: I've been putting off car maintenance for months.

The shop offers a basic car maintenance package.
