The Real Value Behind Regular Maintenance

Vehicle maintenance isn’t just routine, it’s how you avoid costly repairs, extend your car’s life, and stay confident behind the wheel. At Bobby Grich Auto Repair of RSM, we see maintenance as protecting what moves you, not just checking off a list.

  • Supports resale value: A solid service history makes your car more appealing to buyers.

Because at the end of the day, it’s more than maintenance, it’s peace of mind.

Stay on Schedule, Stay in Control

The best way to stay ahead of major repairs is by following your manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule—usually outlined in 30K, 60K, and 90K mile intervals. However, even between those services, there are critical items that should be checked more frequently, such as oil levels, filters, and fluid conditions.

At Bobby Grich Auto Repair, we help you stay on track with Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVIs) through Tekmetric, providing photo-based reports and personalized recommendations after every visit. It’s our way of giving you full visibility and control over your car’s condition.
