Scheduled Maintenance Intervals

Email Print PDF

Need a simple, no-nonsense list of things to do for your vehicle? This is a one size fits all maintenance schedule. Doing the list as we recommend will preserve your warranty as well as the longevity of the vehicle well beyond 100,000 miles! Some Honda vehicles have a "maintenance minder" system; click here to learn more about that. The Prius Hybrid has a slightly different maintenance schedule; click here to learn more about your Prius.


For nearly every vehicle, this list will work. It is *additive*. I have included some BALLPARK ROUGH COST ESTIMATES that you can use to get an idea. PLEASE CALL (510.540.7093) for an exact, because these numbers are ROUGH ESTIMATES and are NOT EXACT for what your car needs.
