30k Service

30K Service in Alton, IL – Maintain Performance, Prevent Problems

Your vehicle is one of your most valuable investments, and keeping it in excellent condition starts with following your manufacturer’s factory-recommended maintenance schedule. One of the most important milestones in that schedule is the 30,000-mile service (30K service).

At Rister's Automotive & Transmissions in Alton, Madison County, we provide comprehensive 30K maintenance services for all makes and models, including GMC, Ford, Honda, Toyota, and more. Whether you’re driving through Rosewood Heights, IL, Godfrey, IL, East Alton, IL, Alton, IL, or Bethalto, IL, this critical service helps ensure your vehicle continues running at its best.

Why Is 30K Service Important?

By the time your car reaches 30,000 miles, it may be around two years old, still relatively new, but with enough wear and mileage to justify a thorough inspection and routine maintenance. Regular service at this interval:

  • Prevents larger mechanical issues

  • Preserves engine performance

  • Improves fuel efficiency

  • Helps maintain your vehicle warranty

  • Ensures your vehicle stays safe, reliable, and road-ready

Unlike basic maintenance (like oil changes every 5,000–10,000 miles), 30K service involves a deeper dive into your vehicle’s systems and is customized to meet factory recommendations specific to your make and model.

What’s Included in a 30,000-Mile Service?

Here’s a breakdown of the key components we inspect, service, and replace during your 30K service at Rister's Automotive & Transmissions:

  • Air Filter Replacement: Keeps harmful debris out of the engine and ensures optimal airflow for efficient combustion.

  • Fuel Filter Replacement: Prevents dirt and contaminants from reaching your engine, avoiding fuel delivery issues and potential loss of power.

  • Oil Change & Oil Filter Replacement: Keeps engine parts lubricated, reduces wear, and removes contaminants from oil buildup.

  • Tire Rotation: Promotes even tire wear, extends tire life, and maintains balanced handling and traction.

  • Windshield Wiper Inspection & Replacement: Ensures clear visibility during rain, snow, and road spray for safer driving.

  • Power Steering System Inspection: We check fluid levels and inspect hydraulic or electronic components to maintain responsive steering.
