When to Get My New Car First Serviced

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of pulling away from the dealership inside a brand new car, from the fresh scent of the interior to knowing you’re the first driver to cruise it around Willow Grove, Abington, and Horsham, PA.

Despite its taught suspension and pristine engine, you’ll eventually need to bring it back for its first routine checkup. For new vehicles, you should plan to schedule service between the first 5,000 and 10,000 miles.

To discover why, check out this handy guide, which answers when to get your car first serviced. Afterwards, contact the service center at Faulkner Alfa Romeo Willow Grove to schedule your next appointment.

Next, our service techs will rotate and inspect each of your tires. This makes sure your tires wear evenly, which can help prevent an unexpected flat. A healthy set of tires also decreases the pressure placed on your brakes and suspension system.

Speaking of your brakes, while your vehicle is on the lift, we’ll look at your braking system. Areas we inspect include:

• Brake pads
• Discs
• Rotors and calipers

The lifespan of these components will depend heavily on both your driving style and local road conditions. If you experience your vehicle pulling to one side or hear any odd noises, book an appointment right away.

Pro Tip: Learn About Your Vehicle 

To better understand your vehicle’s needs, we encourage you to read your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Not only can you best grasp its full capabilities, but you also can learn when to plan and schedule routine maintenance.
