- First, Chetwynd drivers should follow all of their regularly scheduled maintenance routines. Things like oil changes, transmission and cooling system service are vital for avoiding pricey damage. This reduces your overall cost for keeping your vehicle for a long time.
- Next, regular inspections are critical for Chetwynd drivers. Look, those parts are starting to get old and will become worn out over the kilometers.
