Importance of Maintenance Even When Driving Less in Philadelphia, PA
Our mission at Chapman Ford of Northeast Philadelphia is to provide our customers certified Ford service that keeps their vehicles in peak performance.

Low-Mile Driving & Timely Maintenance Explained
We would like to remind low-mile drivers that they still need to get routine maintenance even when driving fewer miles. Look inside the owner’s manual to the recommended maintenance interval that details what services are needed. Each service has recommended maintenance by time or miles, whichever comes first. We know that most drivers travel more miles and schedule services when the mileage arrives. However, this isn’t always the case for some drivers living in population-dense areas with work and amenities nearby.
Low-Mile Driving Risks
Driving fewer miles still has risks that require maintenance if you want to keep your vehicle in peak condition. Considering low-mile driving risks is easier by example – Consider essential automotive components, such as the battery, fluids, wiper blades, and tires that are all essential for overall reliability and safety, yet are susceptible to environmental exposure without being used at all! Storage conditions also carry risks, such as insects, vermin, bacteria, and mold all potentially causing problems at low miles. As you can see, driving fewer miles continues to require routine maintenance because your vehicle has essential components that lose integrity even when driving fewer miles.
