A car service becomes necessary roughly every 6 months or 6,000 miles for an interim service, and every 12 months or 12,000 miles for a full service — though your vehicle's handbook will give you the exact manufacturer recommendation. If you've noticed a drop in fuel efficiency, unusual noises, or a warning light on your dashboard, it's worth booking a service sooner rather than waiting. Drivers across West Mesa, Corrales, Nob Hill, Placitas, and Ventana Ranch rely on P Garages and Mechanics to catch small issues before they turn into expensive problems.
