The 10 most common vehicle services

The Car Care Council has released the top 10 most common vehicle service procedures for 2017 conducted by vehicle owners and technicians.  

Perhaps not surprisingly, oil and oil filter changes topped the list, according to research conducted by automotive market research company IMR Inc.  

The top 10 services are as follows:  

1. Oil/oil filter changed
2. Wiper blades replacement
3. Replace air filter
4. Scheduled maintenance
5. New tires
6. Battery replacement
7. Brake work
8. Antifreeze added
9. Engine tune-up
10. Wheels aligned/balanced

“With scheduled maintenance toward the top of the list, these findings are a sign that more motorists understand the importance of routine vehicle maintenance and are taking steps to ensure the safety and dependability of their vehicles,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. 

Clarification: The article has been changed to refer to the list as service procedures. The Car Care Council noted the list as the top 10 vehicle repairs.
