Factory Recommended Services in Phoenix
Your car's manufacturer publishes a maintenance schedule for your exact model. We follow it, so your car gets the right service at the right mileage, with the right parts and fluids, and you have the records to show it. We know Toyota and Lexus schedules especially well.
What factory recommended services are
Manufacturers like Toyota and Lexus list the inspections, fluid changes and replacements your car needs at set mileage or time intervals. These are often called scheduled or interval services. Following them is the best way to keep your car reliable and to protect your warranty.
Keep your new car warranty intact
Under federal law, you don't have to go to the dealer for maintenance to keep your new car warranty. What matters is that the scheduled maintenance is done on time with parts and fluids that meet the manufacturer's specifications, and that you keep records. We do the work to spec and give you detailed records of every visit.
What a scheduled service can include
- Oil and filter change with the specified oil
- Tire rotation and inspection
- Brake, suspension and steering inspection
- Fluid checks and replacements at the specified intervals
- Engine and cabin air filters
- Spark plugs, belts and other parts when your schedule calls for them
- Hybrid system checks on hybrids
Toyota and Lexus focus
We've cared for Toyota and Lexus vehicles since 1979, and we know their schedules and what's really due. We follow the schedules for Honda, Acura, Subaru and most other makes too. For the everyday basics between scheduled visits, see our auto maintenance page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to go to the dealer to keep my warranty?
No. Federal law lets you have maintenance done at an independent shop. Keep it on schedule, use parts and fluids that meet the manufacturer's specifications, and keep your records. We help with all three.
Where can I find my car's maintenance schedule?
It's in your owner's manual or warranty and maintenance guide, and many manufacturers post it online. Tell us your year, make, model and mileage, and we'll tell you what's due.
Does Phoenix count as severe driving conditions?
Many manufacturers list extreme heat, dust and lots of stop-and-go driving as severe conditions, which can call for shorter intervals. Check your manual, or ask us and we'll go over it with you.
How is this different from regular maintenance?
Regular maintenance covers everyday needs like oil and filters. Factory recommended services follow your manufacturer's full schedule at set mileage points.
