What Happens When You Skip Annual Service?

You likely know that your Maserati car requires regular service in order to run properly. This annual or even semiannual service includes items such as oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and more.

Maybe you have wondered what will happen with your car if you were to skip annual service. This is not something that our Maserati service pros at Helfman Maserati of Houston recommend doing. Here are some things that can happen if you skip annual service.

Reduced Safety and Performance

Maserati cars are manufactured with the intent that they receive service at certain mileage and age intervals. Getting service at these intervals is important first due to the fact that it keeps drivers and passengers safe. For instance, annual car service includes brake inspections, and if you let your car’s brakes deteriorate, they can eventually be a safety risk.

The same goes for performance. One of the main reasons people purchase Maserati models like the Maserati Levante is due to their thrilling performance. Skipping out on annual service will mean that your car’s engine will miss its regular tune-ups and performance can suffer. For example, the car’s engine relies on fresh oil in order to run smoothly, and if you skip out on oil changes, the engine will not run to its full potential.

Decreased Vehicle Longevity

When maintained according to schedule, a new Maserati car should last you and your family a decade or more. However, skipping out an annual maintenance can cause Maserati parts to deteriorate faster than they would if the car was properly maintained.
