Everyone wants something to believe in. I want you to believe if you take care of your vehicle it will run for over 200,000 miles reliably and save you a lot of money.

Meet Frank. Frank does all the serv- ice on our tire balancers and wheel alignment machine. The equipment he services is the best in our industry, yet it still has breakdowns; when it does, we call Frank. He lives in Troy, Maine, south of Bangor, and services dealers all over Maine and NH. Last week when I called him, he was in Caribou doing a lift install and promised to be over as soon as possible. When he got to the shop we asked him, »How many miles on your truck now?« We’ve been asking this question for a while. Frank replied it had just turned 600,000. He bought his truck new in 2002. It has the original engine, never rebuilt, always changes the oil on time and uses high quality oil. The transmission was replaced around 390,000. Frank relies on his truck to run his business and doesn’t worry about being in Caribou, Maine one day and Colebrook, NH the next.

It’s estimated keeping your vehicle 200,000 miles will save you about $20,000, taking into account the origi- nal purchase. Run your vehicle an additional 400,000 miles and imagine the savings. I don’t expect to see this happen often, but it proves that the 200,000 mile mark is very realistic. Ask your service advisor today how they can help you get to 200,000 miles, run well along the way and give you vehicle ownership you can believe in.
