<![CDATA[General Background Periodic service operates as a preventive maintenance strategy designed to maintain vehicle performance and mitigate potential damage in private cars. Specific Background This study addresses the implementation of periodic service as a preventive measure against recurring component failures caused by neglected maintenance practices. Knowledge Gap Although preventative strategies are beneficial, empirical evaluations linking service adherence to quantified reductions in vehicle breakdown incidents and maintenance costs remain limited. Aims This research analyzes the implementation of periodic service as a preventive strategy to preserve automobile reliability and reduce unexpected repair expenses. Results Findings indicate that consistent adherence to periodic service schedules improves vehicle reliability, extends component operational lifespan, and significantly reduces unexpected repair costs. Novelty This work combines service history documentation, dealership work order data analysis, and multi-indicator evaluations to assess private car maintenance compliance. Implications User awareness and strict compliance with manufacturer recommendations serve as critical factors for the success of preventive automotive strategies and driving safety. Key Findings Highlights Consistent implementation of periodic service reduces vehicle damage incidents significantly compared to unserviced vehicles, Regular maintenance delivers substantial cost savings on unexpected repairs and minimizes vehicle downtime, Customer compliance with manufacturer-recommended service intervals is a key determinant of long-term automobile reliability.
