Factory Scheduled Maintenance at Johnny's Automotive
Bring the year, make, model, and mileage. We pull your factory schedule, quote exactly what's on it, document the work, and tell you what's due next.
What does my car actually need at this mileage?
Give us the year, make, model, and the number on your odometer. We pull the factory maintenance schedule for that exact vehicle and quote what's on it at that mileage. Not a package we invented, not a list with extras tucked in. The manufacturer's list.
Some visits that's a short list: an oil and filter service, a tire rotation, a look at fluid levels and condition. Other visits land on a bigger milestone with spark plugs, filters, a transmission or brake fluid service, belts and hoses inspected. The mileage decides what's on the list, and we do what's on it.
Two things worth saying plainly. First, you don't have to go back to a dealer to keep a factory warranty intact. An independent shop can perform your scheduled maintenance, as long as the work the schedule calls for actually gets done and the records are kept. We document what was performed, on what date, at what mileage, so you have the paperwork if anyone ever asks to see it.
Second, most factory schedules have two columns: normal service and severe service. Severe usually covers short trips, stop and go traffic, sustained heat, towing, and dusty conditions. Look honestly at how a lot of us drive around here, short runs across town with the air conditioning working the whole time, and the severe column is the realistic one for plenty of vehicles. We'll show you both and let you decide, rather than quietly billing one and calling it the schedule.
You leave with the factory list done, a record of it, and a heads up on what's due at the next milestone so you can plan for it instead of absorbing it in one week.

Factory Scheduled Maintenance questions, answered
Common questions about our factory scheduled maintenance services.
Will having this done here affect my factory warranty?
No. You can have scheduled maintenance performed at an independent shop and keep your factory warranty, provided the required work is actually done and you can show it. We give you a record of what was performed, the date, and the mileage. Keep those with your paperwork and you're covered on the documentation side.
How is this different from just getting an oil change?
An oil service is one item that happens to come up often. Factory scheduled maintenance is the whole list your manufacturer set for that mileage, which can include filters, fluid services, plugs, and specific inspections. Some visits the two look nearly identical, other visits the list is considerably longer.
I have no service records at all. Where do we start?
With the odometer. We look at what the schedule says should have been done by now, inspect the condition of the items we can actually see and measure, and build a catch up list from there. You don't have to do it all at once.
Do I have to do everything on the list in one visit?
No. We'll walk the list with you and separate what's genuinely due now from what can wait until the next visit, and you decide from there. Spreading it out over a couple of visits is a normal way to handle a big milestone.
Do you use the fluids and parts my manufacturer specifies?
Yes. Modern transmissions, cooling systems, and engines are particular about fluid specifications, and using the wrong one can cause real problems later. We match what your vehicle calls for and note it on your record.
