Car Service Reminders

A car service reminder is an alert from your vehicle’s system that lets you know when maintenance is due. It can be triggered by mileage, time, or specific issues like the need for an oil change or brake check.

Yes, you can usually keep driving when the service light is on, but it’s a good idea to schedule maintenance soon. If the check engine light is flashing or you notice unusual sounds or performance issues, stop driving and get it checked right away.

A simple “Thank you for fixing my car! I really appreciate your help and excellent service” goes a long way. Leaving a tip or a positive online review also shows your appreciation.

Most vehicles need servicing every 6 months or every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, always check your owner’s manual, as service intervals can vary based on the make, model, and driving habits.
