Factory Scheduled Maintenance vs. Condition Based Service – What’s the difference?

Your Exotic Makes has a specific recommended maintenance schedule that should be performed when your Exotic Makes hits a certain mileage or time interval. This is called Factory Scheduled Maintenance (FSM). Not all exotic vehicles require the same schedule, so it’s important to know your exact model.

From spooky noises in your engine to foul smells coming from the hood, know the scary signs that may be lurking within your Exotic Makes.

Smells: Anything from burning oil or burning metal smells from the radiator can indicate an overheated engine. Serious engine damage can occur with frequent overheating, so make sure the devil, himself, isn’t hiding under your hood.

Burning smells (along with other symptoms) can also indicate transmission problems and/or failure, overheated brake pads, a worn clutch, and more. Food smells, like rotten eggs, may be your catalytic converter, and smells of maple syrup may mean your have a coolant leak.
