Vehicle maintenance

Although Otoprotec products protect your vehicle, minimal maintenance is still necessary. In general, maintenance normally recommended by the manufacturer is sufficient but, in order to maintain the coverage validity of your Otoprotec warranties, the following maintenance and examinations are recommended.

Remember: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
