The Power Of Preventative Maintenance: Stay Safe And Save
Neglecting preventative maintenance might save you paying service fees in the short-term, but it will cost you thousands of dollars in premature tire failure, fuel efficiency, and major repairs—and it could cost you your life, too!
If you’ve ever struggled to justify the costs of preventative maintenance services, consider this:
- Inexpensive fluid checks, top-ups, and changes could save you thousands of dollars in collision repairs, transmission overhauls, and engine replacements. In fact, just earlier this year, CTV News reported that an Ontario man who missed oil changes on his truck was hit with a $19,000 engine replacement bill (Foran, 2022)! A timely $80 oil change could have kept his engine purring and prevented his warranty from being voided.
- Neglecting tire rotation is a leading cause of uneven tread wear, which can greatly reduce traction and fuel efficiency on the road, and lead to premature tire failure, forcing you to spend $1,000 or more on a new set long before they reach their estimated tread life. But all these problems and expenses can be prevented with a $50-120 investment in bi-annual tire rotation service.
- Driving with improper tire pressure lowers fuel efficiency by as much as 2% per 1 PSI below the recommended level, and low tire pressure is also a leading cause of early tread wear and tire blowout, which can leave you with unexpected tire replacement costs, big accident repair bills, or worse. But when you visit M.A.R.S, pressure checks are always included, and we can set you up with a portable compressor and pressure gauge, too.
Fortunately, all these risks and unwanted expenses are easily prevented with the right preventative maintenance plan. And with the M.A.R.S team by your side, creating a personalized plan is easy!
