Micro Maintenance in Ann Arbor: A Smarter, More Affordable Way to Service Your Car
If you’ve ever been hit with a surprise $1,200 service bill at the dealership, you know how painful “scheduled maintenance” can be. At K&N Automotive in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we take a different approach.
We call it Micro Maintenance —a way to handle factory-recommended maintenance one job at a time , so you don’t have to pay for everything all at once.
What Is Micro Maintenance?
Most vehicles require key maintenance at mileage milestones like 30k, 60k, 90k, and beyond. Dealerships often bundle these into large, expensive service packages. But just because it’s listed in a package doesn’t mean your car needs it right now.
At K&N Automotive, we track your vehicle’s actual condition and service history to recommend only what’s due now —no more, no less. That’s Micro Maintenance.
Why Ann Arbor Drivers Are Choosing Micro Maintenance
1. Budget-Friendly Car Maintenance
Ann Arbor isn’t a cheap place to live. Micro Maintenance helps you avoid big, unexpected repair bills by spreading out your maintenance over time. You pay for one item at a time, on your schedule.
2. Tailored to Your Car
Every make and model has its own maintenance schedule. We don’t guess—we look it up, check your actual components, and recommend service based on your specific car and how it’s been driven.
3. Prevents Bigger Repairs Later
Spaced-out maintenance helps you catch small issues before they become expensive ones. Think of it as preventative care for your car—done at a pace you can afford.
4. No Gimmicks, No Bundles
We’re not a dealership. We don’t upsell, pressure, or push packages. Just real service from real techs who care.
