Auto Maintenance, Regular Maintenance or Preventative Maintenance? All of the Above. Every year car makers build vehicles that last longer than the previous year which is leaving more vehicles on the road longer. Some of those older vehicles are holding up better than others but the good news it they are still on our our local Long Beach roads and freeways. Some are used for commuting, driving around our children, picking up groceries, visiting the marina or even a work vehicle. The one thing these drivers can all enjoy is knowing that they are mostly paid off, or soon will be. Many of those people would also like to keep driving there vehicles for 200,000 miles or more as long as the vehicle holds up and is safe. What do all these vehicles have in common and what what how we learn from them that’s keeping them on the road so long? Auto Maintenance, Regular Maintenance or Preventative Maintenance, it’s all the same thing. Here at Orozco’s Auto Service we want to help all our customers hit their long term mileage goals. That may sound to basic, but it’s not, one of the most important maintenance services is your oil. Oil is your engines life blood and it needs to be replaced regularly to properly do it’s job of keeping your engine lubricated. Skipping an oil change can lead to a clogged oil filter and sludge that can seriously damage your engine.

Another important reason why scheduling regular maintenance is so important. One of our Orozco’s Auto Service ASE certified mechanics is going to be inspecting your vehicle. All of the fluid levels will be inspected and topped off so they won’t get so low that damage can be done. If there is a significant fluid loss, like brake fluid as an example, our trained technician can check for the cause of the loss and find the problem before it leads to an accident or costly repair. The service technician will visually inspect the vehicle for worn hoses and belts, uneven wear on the tires, leaking shock absorbers and more. Any of these problems will be addressed before bigger problems occur that can sometimes cost more than the car’s worth. Additionally, our professional service advisors will be able to remind you of other services that the factory may recommend you get done. Unfortunately, regular maintenance does cost money, but on the bright side it’s much cheaper than purchasing a whole new vehicle. Moreover, with today’s gas prices so high regular maintenance will help you maintain the best millage your vehicle can offer.
