Sluggish. Squealing. Unreliable. Vibrating. If any of these descriptors fit your vehicle’s recent behavior, it just might be trying to tell you something – like it’s time for a Service.
Today’s vehicles differ significantly from their decades-old brethren that required a tune-up every 10,000 or 20,000 kms. With newer vehicles, it’s increasingly common for manufacturer-recommended service intervals to stretch to 100,000 kms before certain maintenance items, such as replacing the spark plugs, should be completed.
