Old Hickory, TN

The Car Doctor Auto Repair’s scheduled services keeps you on the road with safe routine service.

Manufacturers recommend routine service schedules based on a vehicle’s age and mileage. Some of the more common intervals recur every 30,000 miles. 30/60/90K service checkups are designed to address your vehicle’s maintenance needs, and allow an inspection of items that might need replacement, based on the relevant mileage interval.

Most 30/60/90K service checks will include the following items:

• Oil Change
• Inspect and replace filters (air, cabin, fuel, etc)
• Replace fluids (cooling system, brakes, steering, etc.)
• Tire rotation and balance, check and adjust tire pressure
• Visual inspection of parts & systems: tires, wheels, brakes, lights, belts, hoses, drive train, fuel system, etc.
• At higher mileage, spark plugs, timing belts, etc. may need replacement
• Vehicle road test

For specific items checked, and the recommended replacement intervals for your vehicle, check your owner’s manual.

New Vehicles Under Warranty

If your car is less than three years old and has fewer than 36,000 miles on it, any mechanical problems are typically covered by your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty. Most warranties do not cover wear items such as brake pads, and your vehicle will still need routine maintenance, like oil changes, filters, tire rotation, and tune ups, which you have to pay for.

Service Lights

Some vehicles have a reminder light to indicating that a service, like an oil change, is required at a certain mileage point. Some vehicles have a maintenance light which will only illuminate when work on your vehicle is required. A sensor in the vehicle’s engine calculates when the work is needed based on a number of factors that more accurately determine when your engine oil begins to break down.
