Scheduled Maintenance with Levrett and Allen’s Automotive

30k-60k-90k mile service maintenance refers to the auto maintenance schedule of service intervals. At 30 thousand miles, certain parts of the vehicle need inspection or replacement. The same goes for 60 thousand miles and 90 thousand miles.

These usage milestones are not just wild guesses in the dark. These 30k-60k-90k mile service markers are the best times to service certain parts based on the car maker’s experience. Regular maintenance also helps maintain a vehicle’s warranty.

Regular Service Can Extend the Life Expectancy of Your Vehicle

Through experience gained over the years, we know the value regular service maintenance adds to vehicle ownership. Our technicians are professionally certified, and we only use manufacturer recommended repair procedures and replacement parts.

Over the long haul, vehicle maintenance is less expensive than buying a new vehicle. Each owner’s manual highlights what each checkup should include, and we use these guidelines to help you maintain your auto maintenance schedule. Each list may differ slightly depending upon the maker but includes the main critical points listed below.

We inspect the engine, transmission, drive train, heat and ac, steering, electrical and braking systems. In short, we take a look at the total driving quality of the vehicle.
