A maintenance schedule or service schedule is essentially a calendar for what parts or fluids should get replaced on your car and when, or after how many Kilometres of travel. A cars maintenance schedule is based on a lot of different things including the make of your car, the model, local driving conditions and driver behaviour.

When your mechanic recommends a repair or replacement under the car service schedule they have your safety, and your car's reliability and longevity in mind. A well maintained car will last longer, will drive better, use less petrol and keep you and your family safer. Preventative maintenance of your car is just like the old saying “a stitch in time saves nine”.

For example, mechanics and experts know from years of experience that if your timing belt doesn't get replaced when your car reaches a certain mileage then it will most likely break or fail. If your timing belt does snap or fail your car will stop running and major damage to your engine is the result. This would mean not only an unnecessary breakdown causing inconvenience to you, but you'll need to call a tow truck and face the relatively high cost of repair's, which sometimes could run into thousands - that is if your engine is not totally damaged beyond repair.

When you buy a new car it gets delivered with a ‘log book'. Think of your log book as a maintenance schedule compiled by the people who made your car - it outlines the best way to keep your car in top shape. If for whatever reason your car doesn't have a log book your Prime Auto Care mechanic will still have the knowledge and expertise to recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule for your car based on its age, condition, driving conditions and your driving style and access to the original manufacturers specifications.

If your mechanic follows the guidelines in your log book, you know your car is being kept safe and in its best working order according to the manufacturers specifications. A car that has had its proper log book services will generally drive better, have better fuel efficiency and last longer, with less unexpected repairs or breakdowns than one that has not. Having a proper log book history also preserves your new cars statutory warranty and improves the resale value of your car.
