Question: I want to hang onto my ’02 Honda Accord for as long as possible (hey, it’s paid for), but hate to waste money on service it doesn’t really need. How can I be sure I am performing only the maintenance my car truly requires?

Answer: The proper way to determine what service your car needs is with a thorough mechanical inspection. At A1, we perform the necessary inspection so that you can be confident your car receives only the service it requires, and nothing else.

Furthermore, we will help you follow the factory-recommended maintenance schedule. Proper routine maintenance helps keep your car safe and fuel-efficient. And without it, you risk costly repairs or even a breakdown.

Question: I want to make sure I’m covered under my car manufacturer’s warranty. Do I have to go to the dealer for scheduled maintenance to be covered?

Answer: Not necessarily. Most automobile warranties require that you comply with the factory-recommended maintenance schedule to keep the warranty valid. However, depending on the terms of the warranty, you do not always have to go to the dealers to get the maintenance work done. A1 Automotive has the factory-recommended maintenance schedule for almost every vehicle. Just stop by and we’ll be happy to review it with you.
