Great advice for sure. That is what I do with all the cars I own. Proactive maintenance. Does not matter if a certain part needed or not to be replaced. Hit a certain mileage or age and it is replaced. Period.

None of my cars ever left me stranded anywhere. I bet I spent more than most owners to maintain them but the peace of mind is just priceless.
