You don't have to bring your new car into the dealer for maintenance to keep your warranty valid. New car warranties only require that you perform auto maintenance according to the required maintenance schedule program. Here at Skyway Auto Tune we are highly trained ASE certified technicians, so you can be sure that we will do the job right.

There are two types of maintenance services: minor service and major service. Minor services are generally performed at 7,500, 15,000, 45,000 and 75,000 miles, while major services are performed at 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 miles.

While it varies by make and model, minor services generally include changing the oil and oil filter, lubricating the chassis if it has not been factory sealed, and an inspection of all fluids, filters, hoses, brakes and emissions.

Major services include these plus the replacement of various filters, fluids, and spark plugs. Other specified major services relate to the fuel delivery, emissions, and ignition systems. Some manufacturers even recommend tire rotation as part of a major service.

Here at Skyway Auto Tune we do everything required by the warranty, but we don't stop there. We check for items that tend to wear out or items that might cause a problem soon and explain to you what we find.

Other shops may quote you a lower price for a specific repair, but we think we can offer you a lower overall vehicle maintenance cost by using better quality parts and not cutting corners when we make the repairs.

Skyway Auto Tune will only sell you the parts that you need, and the price that we quote for parts or service will be the price you pay. We only use the highest quality parts for our repairs. We have found that some of the cheaper alternatives don't quite give the same performance, and sometimes they wear out sooner than they should requiring another repair and costing you more in the long run.

Auto maintenance is just like brushing and flossing your teeth or going to the gym to workout. It takes time, effort and commitment. The benefits to your vehicle are the same as to your health.  A vehicle properly maintained and kept 3 years after your payments end will save you $20,000 to $30,000. As well as being safer and more reliable.

Whether it's an oil change, replacing brakes or new belts and hoses, that periodic repair bill is a drop in the bucket compared to monthly payments on a new car. The bottom line is that a properly maintained vehicle is safe, more dependable, more fuel efficient, less polluting and more valuable.


Many people are fixing there old autos instead of trading them in. 
Auto dealers and garage owners say they are seeing drivers pay more attention to regular maintenance repair and be more willing to spring for costly major repairs now that they are reluctant to trade in their junkers. "People are hanging on to them right now, and they've got to keep them running.
