Why Is Factory Recommended Maintenance Important?
It’s critical to have factory-recommended maintenance services as suggested by the manufacturer at the designated intervals. Here are a few reasons why it’s essential to have factory-recommended maintenance at the suggested intervals:
Protect your Warranty
If your vehicle is under warranty, the manufacturer will require you to have all maintenance services at the right intervals. Failure to do so can void your warranty.
Extend the Life of your Vehicle
When you have factory-recommended maintenance services, it can extend the life of your vehicle.
Save Money
Contrary to popular belief, maintenance can save you thousands in repairs. During factory-recommended maintenance, our mechanics will inspect your vehicle to detect and address minor problems before they evolve into more expensive repairs.
Improve Resale Value
Car buyers are more likely to pay more for vehicles that are well-maintained and well-kept.

Preventative Maintenance in Morgan Hill, CA
While factory-recommended maintenance is specific, preventative maintenance is a broader approach, extending beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations. Our ASE-certified mechanics will perform additional inspections and services based on our extensive knowledge of mechanical engineering.
Digital Vehicle Inspections
A digital vehicle inspection (DVI) is when we connect your vehicle to our state-of-the-art TekMetrics diagnostics scan tool. It quickly scans and downloads data from your vehicle’s computer, so our mechanic can analyze it. This approach allows us to spot issues early and signs of stress that are invisible to the human eye.
Afterward, we will provide photo and video documentation of our findings. We will also explain the severity and extent of the issue and offer you the most cost-efficient solution. While manufacturers may not require digital vehicle inspections, it’s a cost-effective way to protect your vehicle.
