Why Routine Maintenance Matters

Your vehicle is more than just a means of transportation—it’s an investment. To keep it running smoothly and reliably for years to come, Routine Maintenance Matters and it’s essential to follow a structured maintenance schedule.  That’s where the 30K/60K/90K/120K mile services come into play. These milestones are not just numbers—they're crucial checkpoints for your car’s health.

What Are 30K/60K/90K/120K Mile Services?

These services are part of a factory-recommended maintenance plan set by your vehicle’s manufacturer. They are designed to address wear and tear that naturally happens over time and to catch any developing issues before they turn into costly repairs.

At each mileage interval, a specific set of inspections, replacements, and adjustments is recommended. Here's a general idea of what each includes:

30,000 Mile Service

At this stage, your car has gone through its first few years of use. It’s time to:

• Replace engine oil and filter

• Inspect brakes, belts, and hoses

• Replace the air filter

• Rotate and balance tyres

• Check all fluid levels and top off

60,000 Mile Service

This milestone is more intensive and may include:

• Replacing spark plugs

• Changing brake fluid

• Transmission service (fluid/filter)

• Checking suspension components

• Battery performance test

90,000 Mile Service

Now your car is aging and needs more attention:

• Replace timing belt (if applicable)

• Inspect exhaust system

• Replace coolant

• Fuel system cleaning

• Check for oil leaks or worn gaskets

120,000 Mile Service

By this point, your vehicle has served you well, and this service ensures it continues to do so:

• Full inspection of engine and transmission

• Replace all filters (oil, fuel, cabin, air)

• Inspect the entire brake system

• Check for signs of rust or corrosion

• Software updates (if applicable for newer vehicles)

Why Is This Schedule So Important?

1. Prevents Costly Repairs
   Fixing a major issue like engine failure or transmission damage can cost thousands. Routine checks catch issues early.

2. Maintains Warranty Compliance
   If your car is under warranty, following the maintenance schedule keeps the coverage valid.

3. Boosts Resale Value
   A well-maintained vehicle with a full service history is far more appealing to buyers.

4. Improves Safety and Performance
   Regular services ensure your car runs efficiently and safely—brakes, tyres, and suspension are always checked.

Who Should Perform These Services?

Always go to a certified mechanic or an authorised service centre familiar with your vehicle’s make and model. They’ll have the right tools, knowledge, and access to manufacturer recommendations.
