Planning maintenance on an SUV under $13,000

At this budget, an SUV has often covered enough kilometres to be approaching certain periodic maintenance items set by the manufacturer. This is a normal stage, and a well-maintained SUV goes through it without trouble. An SUV also adds a few items specific to its mechanics that a buyer benefits from knowing before choosing.

The maintenance points specific to an SUV

On top of the maintenance common to any vehicle, an SUV has a few specific items depending on its configuration:

  • The all-wheel drive system: when present, it includes components whose fluid is changed at intervals set by the manufacturer.
  • Tires: larger and sometimes wider, they are a cost to plan for; a set of winter tires is also worth considering.
  • Brakes: a heavier vehicle puts more demand on the braking system, whose wear deserves attention.
  • Suspension: it carries greater mass, which our inspection checks.

What the inspection and Carfax reveal

The Carfax report included with every SUV lists recorded servicing and shows which items have already been done. The 160-point inspection performed by our technicians assesses the condition of tires, brakes, suspension and, where applicable, the all-wheel drive system. Together, these two sources help estimate which maintenance items are recent and which are coming up. An advisor can go through this information with you for a specific SUV.
