Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for my car?
Every vehicle has a recommended maintenance schedule listed in the owner’s manual. As a general rule, oil and filter changes are recommended every 5,000–7,500 miles, tire rotations every 6,000–8,000 miles, and brake and fluid checks should be performed annually. At Valencia Auto Center, we follow your manufacturer’s specifications to ensure proper care and maintenance.
Do I need synthetic oil, and what are the benefits?
Synthetic oil offers superior engine protection, particularly in extreme temperatures. It also lasts longer between changes and can help high-mileage engines run more efficiently. Whether your vehicle needs synthetic or conventional oil depends on your make and model—we’ll help you choose the best option.
How often should I replace brake pads?
Brake pads typically last between 25,000 and 60,000 miles, depending on your driving style and vehicle type. We recommend having your brakes inspected every 12,000 miles to ensure your pads are safe and effective.
