Basic Car Service vs. Full Car Service

When you drive a fantastic vehicle like a Maserati, it has to be well-taken care of.  The easiest way to do this is by getting regular maintenance.

There are, however, two types of Maserati service: basic and full. This guide goes over what each entail.

Basic Service

Basic Maserati service involves several crucial tasks, including:

• Air Pressure Checks: Air pressure fluctuates, so it should be checked every few months.
• Oil Changes: These should be done about every six months, as this will help improve engine performance and gas mileage.
• Tire Rotations: Also important every six months, this enhances tire performance and extends their lifespan.
• Battery Tests: Your battery should be tested yearly to determine how much power it hast left.
• Brake Inspections: The braking system should also be looked at annually to make sure all components are in good working condition.

Full Service

In addition to those tasks, full service involves several other things, including a thorough inspection of:

• Lights
• Horn
• Seatbelts
• Windshield and wipers
• Mirrors
• Suspension
• Alignment
• Exhaust
• Belts
• Hoses
• Spark plugs

Full service also includes replacing filters if necessary and topping off fluids. It is recommended that this type of maintenance be done yearly.

Technician Recommendations

A lot of full service involves visual checks of key components to ensure they are doing what they need to do. This is important because it lets you be proactive. If something is starting to wear down, you will have the opportunity to replace it before it ends up becoming a big issue.
