Ask Hans Imports About the Importance of Service Intervals

Posted March 6, 2022 8:59 AM

Today in our Hans Imports blog, we're going to talk about following recommended service intervals. Your vehicle isn't the only aspect of your life with recommended intervals: What about six-month dental cleanings and regular physical exams? Then there's laundry, mowing the lawn, paying your electric bill, changing your furnace filter - you get the idea.

Now, what would happen if you didn't follow these intervals? For one thing, your teeth may get more cavities. You might not discover health issues that benefit from early detection and treatment. And you'd have to wear dirty clothes, be embarrassed by your overgrown lawn and have your power shut off.

We all realize there are some things in life that we have to take care of regularly. If we don't, there are negative consequences. Our quality of life diminishes and it inevitably costs more money.

Have you ever wondered, "How often should I bring my car in for scheduled maintenance?" You can let your friendly and knowledgeable Hans Imports technician remind you of the manufacturer's recommendations. He has checklists of what the manufacturer recommends and can find potential problems when he inspects your vehicle. Rely on Hans Imports professionals to help you make good car care decisions, that's our job.

For those in North Kingstown who want to be more proactive with their vehicle care, here are some simple ways to remember what has a maintenance interval:

First: fluids. If it's liquid, it's got a replacement schedule. Oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid, differential fluid, etc.
Then think tires. They need air, rotation, balancing, and alignment. And while you're thinking tires, think brakes and shocks.
And what makes your car go? Air and fuel. Air filter replacement, fuel filters and fuel system cleaning.

Of course there are more items, but if you remember to take your vehicle into Hans Imports for these things, your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor will help you with the rest.

What our clients are saying about us

We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!

My 2012 Audi didn’t pass inspection and I was getting really fed up with service from other shops. Someone recommended Hans and I feel like I hit the lottery with Omar. He was kind, thorough, honest, and accommodating. My old girl passed inspection and runs better than when I bought her! TY, TY, TY to Omar and Dave, you’ve restored my faith that there are good people out there and not everyone is looking to screw you over just because you have a European car. quotes-image

Excellent shop. Thorough and honest. I've had all sorts of repairs and routine maintenance done on my older (2006) Subaru. My car is old enough to vote and it runs flawlessly thanks to Omar and his team. Work is consistently high quality. If you care about your vehicle this is the place to bring it.quotes-image
