What is Maintenance?
Maintenance is a planned event for every piece of machinery. Wikipedia defines it as follows: "A motor vehicle service or tune-up is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has travelled a certain distance."
By nature, mechanical devices wear out because they move. This natural course of life for a vehicle is expected and prepared for by having replaceable parts, fluids, and filters. The manufacturers calculate when these components should be replaced based on vehicle use, environment conditions, and driving habits. We have our own recommendations too because different climates and driving conditions will affect a maintenance cycle.
