Importance of Maintenance Even When Driving Less

Assuring the Life of Your Vehicle

Suppose your vehicle refuses to work because you haven't been driving as much. In that case, it will require appropriate repairs by an authorized dealership that employs certified technicians, such as our service center at Tom Wood Honda Anderson. Outside of repairs, the car also needs routine maintenance to ensure your Honda vehicle investment maintains its value. We will repair many aspects for you, from maintaining tire pressure to assuring the engine oil (and other fluids) are drained and refilled. You should monitor these fluids regularly. Keeping them at proper levels is essential toward making the car last as long as you hoped when making the purchase.

Don't Neglect Routine Service

There are two perspectives on what happens when a vehicle isn't properly maintained. First, the vehicle will break down and stop running, needing unexpected repairs, which the maintenance procedures were intended to prevent. When the car actually breaks down, there is no schedule, and it has to go in for immediate repairs which are going to cost more than the maintenance would have. A second aspect is how maintenance by an authorized technician goes into a computer record of the car, maintaining its value whether you eventually sell it in a private transaction or return it to a dealership as a trade-in when purchasing your next car.
