How Often Should LCPOs Be Taken In for Maintenance?

January 16th, 2025 by

Luxury vehicles like BMW and Mercedes-Benz offer an unmatched driving experience. While new models can be pricey, Luxury Certified Pre-Owned (LCPO) options provide the same luxury at a fraction of the cost.

CPO vehicles undergo thorough inspections and meet strict manufacturer standards, ensuring high quality and longevity. However, regular maintenance is key to keeping your LCPO in top condition. Scheduling routine maintenance appointments with a Ray Catena service center can help keep your Luxury CPO vehicle running smoothly.

All luxury vehicles will have a maintenance schedule established by the manufacturer. This will be found within the owner’s manual and will offer details on how often or how many miles you should go between oil changes and other tasks. However, in the case of LCPO vehicles, there can also be dealer recommendations.

The dealer you purchased the vehicle from may have additional maintenance recommendations or requirements as part of the program. In most cases, as long as you ensure you follow the manufacturer and dealer recommendations, your vehicle will be in great shape.

Factors That Play a Role in the Maintenance Schedule

There are a few factors to consider aside from the normal maintenance schedule. Firstly, there are any signs that your vehicle may need attention, including:

  • Unusual sounds
  • Dashboard warning lights
  • Performance changes
  • Functionality changes

In the event of any of the above, don’t put off taking in your vehicle until the next maintenance time. These can be potentially serious issues, so they must be addressed before it gets any worse.

Additionally, don’t forget to consider that as your vehicle gets up to higher mileage, maintenance can become even more vital. Moreover, the frequency of your driving and the type of driving (city or highway) can wear on your vehicle in different ways. If you want to learn more about these factors, you can always ask the dealer about the best ways to care for your vehicle.
