That starts with our used car maintenance guide below, which details when you should be scheduling service appointments for your used car's maintenance.

How Often to Schedule Used Car Maintenance?

There is a range of factors that come into play when determining the timing for your car's service maintenance intervals. One of those is the vehicle you drive, which is why it is best to refer to your owner's manual.

In it, you will find a more specific schedule for your used car's maintenance needs. That could mean that an oil change is needed every six months or you should have the tires rotated at least once every 7,500 miles.

Another factor that determines when maintenance is needed will be your daily driving conditions. The roads you drive on, the temperature it is outside, and even the weight in it or being pulled along by your vehicle will impact its maintenance intervals.





 

Signs it Is Time for Used Car Maintenance

Because of those various driving factors, it is also best to schedule service the moment you notice something is off with your vehicle's performance. This could include a simple drop in its fuel economy or a noticeable loud noise. You may even start to feel a vibration while driving or feel your car pulling to one side.

All of these are warning signs that you will want to address immediately. It could be that you simply need to replace the brake pads in your car or have the wheels realigned. Whatever it is that is causing this difference in your car's performance is best to be handled at that time to prevent any further damages and more complex repairs being required for your vehicle.



 

Doing Your Part to Keep Up with Your Car's Maintenance

There are also a few checks you can do yourself to help determine exactly when you will want to schedule to have various routine services completed on your car. One of the most crucial services that helps keep your car's engine in great shape is an oil change. To stay aware of the engine oil's condition, you can check this frequently at home.

You'll want to examine both the color of the oil and the level. If it falls below the recommended level or the oil has changed to a darker color, then you'll want to schedule the next oil change soon. You can also examine the tires at home. Test the tread to see if there is still a safe amount left. Check to see if certain spots or tires are wearing faster than others as well, which could be an indication that it is time to have them rotated.
