If you’re searching for “routine car maintenance near me,” you don’t have to drive all the way to a dealership in Puyallup or Tacoma to keep your manufacturer warranty valid. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you have the legal right to choose an independent, local auto repair shop for your scheduled service.
Located conveniently on Meridian E, our highly trained, expert mechanics follow your vehicle manufacturer’s exact maintenance schedule. We use premium OEM-equivalent filters, high-quality synthetic oils, and proper specification fluids. You get top-tier service right in your neighborhood, without the dealership markup or high-pressure up-sells.
Depending on your vehicle’s mileage and manufacturer specifications, a preventative maintenance appointment at our Graham shop covers critical systems to prevent catastrophic failures.

Book 90k ServiceCommon questions from our Graham and South Hill customers.
Skipping major mileage milestones like the 60,000-mile service puts your vehicle at high risk for catastrophic failure. By 60k miles, transmission fluid has often lost its lubricating properties, which can cause the transmission to slip or fail entirely (a highly expensive repair). Additionally, failing to maintain the vehicle according to the schedule can give your manufacturer grounds to deny future warranty claims.
Every vehicle make and model is different. A Honda Civic has different maintenance requirements than a Ford F-250 diesel. The best source of truth is your owner's manual. However, you can simply call us or bring your vehicle to Auto Star in Graham. We use advanced automotive software that pulls the exact factory-recommended schedule for your specific VIN number, ensuring you only get the services you actually need.
