What is considered as a proper vehicle maintenance frequency?
- As required, and according to the pace in which malfunctions are detected in the vehicle.
- At the discretion of the vehicle’s owner only.
- Correct answer: The maintenance frequency recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
- As recommended by the insurance company.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The maintenance frequency recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
The manufacturer designed the vehicle's systems and parts, so it sets the service schedule in the owner's manual, by mileage or time. Waiting until malfunctions are found is too late, because maintenance is meant to prevent faults before they happen. Neither the owner's personal judgment nor the insurance company determines the proper maintenance schedule.
