First, every car requires some degree of maintenance. People who neglect to do the simple things to maintain their vehicles end up paying for this neglect.
So what maintenance can be done by the owner and what needs to be done by a qualified automitve repair center such as Cornerstone Automotive?
Below is a listing of typical maintenance for almost all cars
 if you should bring it to an auto center such as ours, and,
 if it is something the individual owner can easily do.
On a weekly basis:
Every 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first:
Every 6 months or 7500 miles, whichever comes first:
Every 12 months or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first:
Every 24 months or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first:
The cost for doing the majority of the items is minor; the cost for not doing them can be significant.
You may remember the oil filter commercial:
A car is parked in front of the service bay, the hood is up, the engine is smoking and a mechanic is leaning on the fender, looking at the engine and shaking his head.
He says, “I told him he needed to change his oil, but he didn’t want to spend the money.” He looks at a new oil filter he is holding then back to the smoking engine, shrugs and says, “You
can pay me now or... you can pay me later.”
At Cornerstone Automotive, our goal is to make sure this never happens to you and your car.
