PMS in a car stands for Preventive Maintenance Schedule. It is a comprehensive guide that provides car owners with instructions on when to inspect and replace various components of their vehicles, ensuring that the car is well-maintained and in good condition. The PMS is a plan set in place by the car manufacturer to prevent bad things from happening to the vehicle due to neglect. During a PMS, mechanics will take the time to check items such as the coolant, brakes, tires, and even the bolts on the car to make sure that nothing is loose. A car’s PMS schedule will depend on what car it is, whether it’s the first service or the driving conditions that the car has experienced. The interval set by the manufacturer should be followed, which can be anywhere between 5,000 kilometers to about 10,000. Neglecting to follow the PMS schedule can lead to a bunch of other problems that could have otherwise been addressed if the schedule was followed.
