Drive In & Tune Up: Our Scheduled Vehicle Maintenance Process

At Nelson’s, scheduled maintenance is never one-size-fits-all. We customize your service schedule based on your driving habits, your manufacturer’s recommendations, and what we know from years of experience under the hood.

Here's how it works:

  • Inspect: Our team performs a detailed inspection of your vehicle’s vital systems.
  • Service: We handle everything from fluid top-offs and filter swaps to tire rotations and brake checks.
  • Advise: We walk you through what we did and what’s coming up, so you’re never caught off guard.
  • Ensure: Leaving our shop with total peace of mind is just part of the package!

We even keep a record of your maintenance history, so you always know where your car stands and when it's due next. No matter what make and model your vehicle is, we’ll craft a preventative maintenance plan that’s totally tailored to your ride!

Preventative Maintenance Equals Superior Peace of Mind

Catching issues early can save you thousands down the road. That weird rattle, the overdue oil change, or the softening brake pedal — ignore it long enough, and you’re looking at a major repair that could cost some major money.

Our scheduled maintenance services are built to stop problems before they start. When you partner with Nelson’s, you’re choosing a proactive car care company in Minneapolis that keeps you safer, helps your car run longer, and improves resale value. It's a win-win-win!
