Factory Scheduled Maintenance in Trinidad
The service schedule your car's engineers wrote — adapted honestly for Trinidad's heat, traffic and roads.
Maintenance, done meaningfully
Trinidad is 'severe service' — your schedule should know it
Open any European service manual and you'll find two schedules: normal and severe. Sustained heat, high humidity, stop-and-go traffic and short trips define the severe column — and describe an ordinary week of driving in Trinidad almost perfectly. Following the 'normal' schedule here quietly shortens the life of oils, fluids, and rubber components.
Our maintenance program follows your vehicle's factory schedule, applied with climate honesty: the right oil specification, brake fluid that's actually tested rather than assumed, coolant and transmission fluid life judged for tropical reality, and inspection points focused on what our conditions attack first — cooling systems, batteries, bushings and seals.
Every service is recorded digitally against your vehicle, building the documented history that protects warranty coverage on newer cars and resale value on every car.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Will servicing outside the dealer affect my warranty?
Where new-vehicle warranties apply, they're protected when servicing follows the manufacturer's schedule using approved parts and fluids, with proper records — exactly how we work. You receive documentation for every visit.
My car says service isn't due for months. Should I wait?
Condition-based systems estimate from sensors; they can't see fluid condition or Trinidad's climate. If it's been over a year, or the car sat unused, or you tow or drive short trips — have it inspected. We'll tell you honestly if it can wait.
Do you service foreign-used imports without service history?
Yes — we recommend a baseline service: full inspection, all fluids assessed or renewed, and a written starting point. From there your car finally has a real history.
Can I get a maintenance quote in advance?
Yes. Send your year, make, model and mileage and we'll quote the due service in advance — parts, fluids and labour, clearly itemised.
