SAVE $1,000
a year
Maintenance . . . NOT that exciting, But it's where to start!!! If you (and teach your kids to do this too) do an annual maintenance on all your cars, buy
a bunch of supplies and plan a full Saturday, start at the top, you'll save a $1,000 a year over your lifetime in unnecessary car repair and replacement.
We have many customers that get 15 years and 300,000 miles out of a car. My daily driver has over 240,000 miles and my "new car" I bought used with
100,000 on it. I don't have highway breakdowns, only 1 in 30 years and no major emergency repairs. But I also fix it first. Let's start with our Saturday

Annual Check-Up -
All Oil and Filters
Change all the filters at least twice a year. Why not the first Saturday in June or maybe October each year!! Like clock-
work! Oil filters should be changed at an absolute!! minimum of twice a year and every 5,000 miles. Most "100,000
milers" change their oil every 3,000 miles. Always change the oil filter at the same time.
Pick Your Filter Kit
All Filter Kits contain at minimum an oil, fuel and air filter, if applicable, they also contain a cabin air filter.
Example kits, kits vary depending on vehicle
If You Can't Quit, At Least Change Your Filter
