Recognizing When to
Schedule Service
Paying attention to your car’s behavior can help you know when it needs care, even before the next scheduled service. Listen for unusual sounds, like squealing brakes or rattling under the hood. Watch for changes, such as using more fuel than usual or your car feeling different when you steer or brake. These signs could mean something needs fixing sooner than planned.
