Cars today can run a lot longer than they used to. In today's blog, we want to touch on service intervals for higher milage cars.
Cars today are a lot tougher than they used to be. 100,000 miles used to be a major milestone back in the day. However, in today’s world, that’s barely anything to be boasting about. Before, you used to need to come in for high mileage service at around 10,000-15,000 miles. Now, it’s more like 50,000-80,000 miles, sometimes even 100,000 miles, before most newer vehicles need to come in for high mileage maintenance.
To get the most out of your money and your vehicle, you want to make sure you’re coming in for high mileage service at around 100,000-200,000 miles. If you've stayed up on routine maintenance, you're typically in a good place. Maintaining your higher mileage vehicles properly allows things like your spark plugs, air filters, and transmission fluid to last much longer. If you ignore all the maintenance however, you'll be running into a log of problems.
The intervals for some routine maintenance might be shortened a little bit after you hit 100,000 miles, but not neccarily by much because most things like spark plugs, air filters, transmission fluids, etc. last a lot longer than they used to.
At Weber Automotive, we ensure proper high mileage maintenance by keeping track of your miles and recommedning the ideal maintenance schedule for you and your vehicle. We also make sure we stay on top of reminding you of your next service. So don’t wait anymore; get your vehicle serviced today by our automotive professionals.

You are crawling through Cleveland traffic on a July afternoon. The sun hits your windshield, the cabin heats up, and just when you need relief most, your AC turns lukewarm at the red light. Then it cools again once you are moving. Frustrating and all too common. Here is the good news. We diagnose and fix this exact problem every summer at Weber Automotive. I am Bryan Weber, and our team has a simple way to explain what is happening and how to get your cool air back. Why Cold Air Turns Warm at Idle Your air conditioning relies on airflow through the condenser, which sits at the front of your vehicle. While you are moving, natural airflow cools the condenser and helps produce cold air. When you stop, the system depends on an electric cooling fan to keep that air moving. If the fan does not run at idle: Airflow across the condenser drops Pressure in the AC system climbs The vents start blowing warm air In some cases, the engine temperature can also creep up This is one of the biggest reasons AC feels cold while you are driving but warm at a stop. A Quick DIY Check You Can Do Safely If you are comfortable taking a quick look, try this: Park safely, set the parking brake, and pop the hood. Start the engine and turn the AC to max. Use a flashlight to look toward the radiator area. Keep hands and tools clear of moving parts. The electric cooling fan should start running with the AC on. You should see it spin, hear it, and feel airflow. If the fan does not run and yo

If a seller will not let you take a car for an independent inspection, walk away. We have even told shoppers that a free car would be a bad deal, because it needed that much work. When the average new car tops $50,000 and the average used car hovers around $30,000, a smart inspection is not a luxury, it is protection. The Problem: Big Investment, Little Protection Most used cars are sold as is, which means the risk sits squarely on your shoulders. There is often little to no warranty, and cosmetic shine can hide expensive mechanical issues. That is exactly why we offer a thorough pre-purchase inspection, so you know what you are buying, what it needs now, and what it may need soon. At Weber Automotive, we are committed to helping you avoid surprise repairs, negotiate with confidence, and make a purchase you can feel good about. What Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Includes Our used car inspection is built to uncover the truth before you sign: Multi-page, detailed checklist of all major systems Clear documentation with pictures and video when helpful Prioritized findings, what needs attention now and what is coming up Written estimates for any recommended repairs A report you can take back to the dealership or private seller The service is about $210, and in our experience, 98 percent of the time we find more than that amount in needed work. The inspection often pays for itself in negotiation leverage, or by saving you from a money pit. How It Works With Dealerships an
