Save Money and Make Maintenance Easier With Scheduled Services

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2010 -- When was the last time you had your oil changed in San Pedro? On average, Americans drive 12,000 miles each year. Unfortunately, many people either forget or ignore the importance of regularly scheduled services to prolong the life of their vehicle.

When Should You Get Your Oil Change in San Pedro?

It’s a good question, and you’ll get different answers depending on who you ask. Conventional wisdom says the healthiest thing for your car is to get your San Pedro oil change every 3,000 miles or three months, but many vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the oil either every 7,500 miles or once per year.

So, what’s the right answer? When you read the fine print, you’ll see that the 7,500/one year recommendation is for vehicles that are consistently driven under normal circumstances. A closer look reveals that what most of us consider “normal” driving conditions is actually considered by the experts to be “severe service” driving conditions. “Severe service” driving includes stop-and-go driving in the city, frequent short trips (less than ten miles), and driving at highway speeds during hot weather.

It’s Not Just a San Pedro Oil Change:

Plaza Automotive Center follows the manufacturers’ recommended service levels for oil changes during “severe” conditions. But that’s not all. We also use this benchmark to help us determine when your car will need service again to continue to operate at peak levels.

Our approach is different than the quick lube shops. We take the time to understand your driving patterns, the manufacturer recommended services, and the fact that it isn’t the number of miles you drive but rather the kind of miles you drive.

Unlike the quick lube shops, our scheduled services enable us to truly know your car. With every San Pedro oil change and scheduled service, Plaza Automotive Center:
• Provides a free 40-point safety inspection
• Interfaces with your car’s computer to reset reminder warnings

• Uses state-of-the-art equipment and software to match the correct grade of oil, including whether to use synthetic blend or full synthetic oil

Simply put, knowing the history of your vehicle and your driving habits enables us to provide you with a recommended next service date based on many critical factors, including tire and brake wear, filter conditions, and fluid levels. You get regular, dependable service and long-term financial savings.

So, why do we recommend regularly scheduled services? The answer can save you thousands of dollars: preventive maintenance. For instance, something as simple as examining your battery terminals and battery water level can prevent you from a breakdown and save you money in the long run. These are just a couple of the services we provide in our free 40-point safety inspection when you get your San Pedro oil change.
