Manufacturers suggest having the vehicle serviced at 30\/60\/90k miles. At Carville\u2019s Auto Mart, we suggest\u00a0<\/span>to go<\/span>\u00a0to specialty dealership because they\u2019ll know what to look for on certain vehicles. The average cost usually lands between $235 and $342 but can be higher if you have a hybrid or specialty vehicle. Labor costs can range from $167 and $211.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What could happen if you don\u2019t get your\u00a0<\/span>90,000 mile<\/span>\u00a0maintenance check?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Not having your maintenance up to date could end up costing you a lot in the long run. Some examples of what lack of maintenance could cause are, increase internal friction and disruption of the crankcase ventilation, poorer braking, and difficulty keeping the vehicle on a straight course. It could go as bad as affecting your engine and having to replace that. One thing some people do not know about is the timing belt or chain. If it breaks, the\u00a0<\/span>best case<\/span>\u00a0scenario is it could stop the engine, the worst is that it causes a piston to collide with an open valve and cause some serious, expensive damage.\u00a0 Other effects could lead to decreased fuel effic<\/span>i<\/span>ency.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
