Schedule of car maintenance

The actual schedule of car maintenance varies depending on the year, make, and model of a car, its driving conditions and driver behaviour.

Half of drivers wrongly think getting a car serviced by an independent voids warranty.

Car makers recommend the so-called extreme or the ideal service schedule based on impact parameters such as:

• number of trips and distance travelled per trip per day
• extreme hot or cold climate conditions
• mountainous, dusty or de-iced roads
• heavy stop-and-go vs. long-distance cruising
• towing a trailer or other heavy load
