Preventive Maintenance · Reno, NV

The Cheapest Repair Is the One You Never Need.

Almost every big repair bill started as a small, cheap one that got skipped. Reno Auto Works keeps your vehicle on its factory maintenance schedule — fluids, filters, belts, hoses, and inspections — so problems get caught while they're still minor and your warranty stays protected.

When Maintenance Is Due

You don't need a symptom for maintenance — that's the point. But these are the signs you're behind:

You're past the mileage intervals in your owner's manual (30k / 60k / 90k services)
A maintenance reminder or service light is on
Fluids look dark, low, or you can't remember when they were changed
Belts look cracked or glazed, or you hear squealing on startup
You bought a used car and don't know its service history
You're planning a road trip — Tahoe, the I-80 corridor, or beyond

What Deferred Maintenance Actually Costs

Transmission fluid that's never changed becomes a transmission that fails. A $20 coolant top-off skipped becomes an overheated engine. A timing belt pushed past its interval can destroy the engine when it snaps. Maintenance feels optional right up until the tow truck.

Scheduled maintenance is the difference between choosing when to spend money on your car and having the car choose for you.

FAQ

Maintenance Questions

Does maintenance at your shop keep my factory warranty valid?

Yes. You're free to have scheduled maintenance done at any qualified independent shop — just keep records, which we provide. You don't have to use the dealership.

What's included in a 30k/60k/90k service?

It varies by manufacturer — that's why we quote from your vehicle's actual factory schedule instead of a one-size-fits-all package. We'll show you exactly what your manufacturer calls for at your mileage.

I bought a used car. Where do I start?

Start with an inspection and a baseline fluid service. We'll assess what's been done, what's overdue, and build a simple plan — most urgent items first. A 65-point inspection is the perfect baseline.

Can I spread maintenance out to fit my budget?

Yes — and we'll help you prioritize honestly: safety items first, then items that prevent expensive damage, then the rest. You'll always know what can safely wait.
