Farmington Drivers Severe Service Maintenance SchedulesPosted July 21, 2024 4:57 AMSince driving requirements and lifestyles differ among Farmington drivers, your vehicle manufacturer publishes two auto maintenance schedules: the regular schedule and the severe service schedule. Which schedule should Farmington drivers follow? Here are some questions to ask yourself: Let's suppose your owner's manual says the severe service oil change recommendation is 3,000 miles/5,000 kilometers and the standard recommendation is 5,000 miles/8,000 kilometers. You know that you need to change the oil somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 miles/5,000 and 8,000 kilometers. Analyze your driving patterns and Farmington weather and road conditions to determine which end of the spectrum you're closer to. Carrying heavy loads (with or without a trailer) in MI summer weather causes your engine and transmission to run at higher temperatures and with more stress. The fluids will break down more quickly. Additives that clean and prevent corrosion will be depleted sooner. Air pollution and dust cause fluids to get dirty faster. Ditto for filters. All of these things can lead to premature wear and eventual repairs. If you want some expert advice, talk with your friendly and knowledgeable Darrell's Firestone service advisor. We can help you restore your vehicle to good working order and help you know the best schedule to follow. | ||

My battery died in the parking lot across the street. I called Darrell's about 5 minutes before they closed. Brian came right over and gave us a jump. He was extremely nice and professional. I had 2 kids and a dog with me on a very hot day. We were so appreciative of his help.
They provided a fair price and did good work.
