Bridgetown Automotive’s Maintenance Program Saves You Money

Most auto engines are made to last 150,000 to 200,000 miles. Regular maintenance is the key for ensuring as many miles for your vehicle as possible.

We’ll create a personal maintenance plan for your vehicle that will extend the life of your vehicle for years after it’s paid off.

Bridgetown’s Custom Scheduled Maintenance Guide is a Three-Part System:

1. We look at the company that built the car – what is the factory recommended scheduled maintenance?  We also look at generic maintenance guides.

2. We look at the car and, based on the way it’s built, figure out a reasonable plan.

3. Most importantly, we talk to each customer to find out  how their vehicle is being used.

With Each Visit, We Run Our Premier 27-Point Courtesy Check

Our premier 27-Point Courtesy Check is designed to catch problems with your car when they are $5 to fix rather than $5,000.
