Your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule is one of the best ways to keep your vehicle car running smoother for longer while helping avoid costly repairs. A regular maintenance schedule is designed to ensure each essential system in your vehicle is working properly and catch any issues before they turn into bigger problems. The specific schedule for your vehicle will vary by manufacturer. Routine maintenance services involve simple services like filter and fluid replacements, tire rotations, and general parts inspections that come at various mileage intervals. Find your specific vehicle maintenance schedule with our online database above or by using the MyFirestone app.
There are three factors considered when determining your vehicle’s ideal maintenance interval: manufacturer recommendations, mileage, and driving conditions (normal vs. severe).
Based on mileage, the most common routine maintenance schedule is on a 30-60-90 interval, meaning you should perform essential preventative maintenance about every 30,000 miles. Manufacturer recommendations are a baseline set for brand-new vehicles, but your ideal schedule will vary based on your driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle age. We base our recommendations on OEM vehicle maintenance schedules.
Every vehicle is unique, and various parts can wear out at irregular intervals depending on your driving habits. Some services, such as oil changes and tire rotations, are performed more frequently than others.
If you want to help ensure your vehicle runs newer, longer, sticking to your vehicle's maintenance schedule matters. Maintenance schedules are based on a combination of best practices and the unique needs of your vehicle, so they should be customized to serve your vehicle as closely as possible. Some of the benefits of sticking to your vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule include:

A vehicle maintenance schedule is a vehicle-specific plan for routine services and inspections designed to help keep essential systems working properly. It is typically based on manufacturer recommendations, mileage, and driving conditions. Sticking to a regular maintenance schedule can help catch issues before they require larger repairs. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician can help identify the right maintenance schedule for your vehicle.
Routine maintenance commonly includes services like oil and filter changes, tire rotations, wiper blade checks/replacement, engine and cabin air filter inspections, wheel alignment checks, brake fluid exchange, and spark plug replacement. The exact services and timing vary by vehicle, mileage, manufacturer recommendations, and driving conditions.
A 30-60-90 maintenance schedule refers to preventative maintenance commonly recommended around 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles. These intervals often include inspections, fluid checks or exchanges, filter replacements, and other services that help prevent wear-related issues. 30-60-90 is a general service schedule that can be adjusted to meet your driving habits and your vehicle’s specific needs.
Driving conditions can change how often a vehicle needs maintenance. Stop-and-go traffic, extreme heat or cold, dusty roads, towing, frequent short trips, and severe driving conditions may require more frequent service than a standard mileage interval. Compare your driving habits against manufacturer recommendations to find the right maintenance schedule for you. A Firestone technician can provide expert guidance for when to book service appointments.
