MAINTENANCE

At Tamazula's Auto Repair, Inc., we encourage our customers to adopt the habit of conducting regular vehicle maintenance in order to avoid potentially costly breakdowns. Preventative maintenance also extends the life of your cars.  You can handle basic routine vehicle maintenance yourself, by following a regular schedule as outlined in your owner’s manual. However, most of our customers find our shop most convenient to perform many of these more complicated and technical needs of your cars.
