A scheduled maintenance car is a roadworthy automobile that has undergone on-time servicing and inspections. A family using such a car might opt for oil changes and brake checks based on the vehicle’s mileage.
Regularly maintained vehicles ensure safety, preserve resale value, improve gas mileage, and are less prone to unexpected breakdowns or roadside emergencies. Their origins can be traced back to the early 20th century when Henry Ford introduced planned maintenance for vehicles. This laid the foundation for modern maintenance programs that empower owners to monitor and care for their cars proactively.
