Vehicle Service Faq

Taking your vehicle in for service or regularly scheduled maintenance is a crucial part of the car-owning process. So, it’s important to stay on top of your vehicle’s service, as well as have somewhere reliable to have that service done around New Alexandria, Monroeville, and Irwin, PA.

At C. Harper Chevrolet East, we look to offer both that reliable source for service, as well as a constant resource for everything you need to know about maintenance and repair service. That’s why we’ve answered some of the most common vehicle service FAQs below.

HOW OFTEN DOES MY CAR NEED SERVICE?

---

There’s really no concrete answer to this question. Your vehicle’s need for service will always vary and depend on several factors. To start, the type of vehicle you drive will differentiate how often you need service, at least in regard to regularly scheduled maintenance, such as oil or filter changes.

Another factor that can affect your vehicle’s need for service is the way you drive. When it comes to a service such as tire or engine repair, your driving habits can affect how often you need them.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET AN OIL CHANGE?

---

One of the easier vehicle services to help you maintain your car is a regular oil change. These are an easy benchmark of your vehicle’s service and are fairly easy to follow.

Just keep an eye on your dashboard lights or consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual to know when it’s time for an oil change.

WHEN DOES MY CAR NEED SERVICE?

---

Your dashboard light is always the easiest way to monitor your vehicle’s need for service. With lights to indicate things like oil level, low tire pressure, and brake damage, you’ll know exactly when to have your vehicle serviced. In most cases, when a light is illuminated on your dashboard, it means you should seek service as soon as possible.
