     Bakersfield has hosted a number of events for the nearby cities in both Kern county and Southern California.  From musical events to community outreach programs.  When planning a road trip, the first priority is safety. And being safe on the road starts with a safe vehicle.  In order to accomplish this, we maintaining your vehicle and making sure it's in great condition is a must.  Below is an excerpt from a book DARE TO REPAIR YOUR CAR, A Do-It-Herself Guide to Maintenance, Safety, Minor Fix-its, and Talking Shop by Julie Sussman & Stephanie Glakas-Tenet that reiterates the importance of car maintenance and provides a basic overview on what an optimal maintenance schedule looks like:

Maintenance Schedule

When you schedule a health checkup for yourself, don't forget to schedule one for your car. Think of it as giving your car a shot in the arm.
Car manufacturers have different suggested maintenance schedules. So do auto repair shops and dealerships. So how do you know who's right? The best thing to do is to gather information from all the sources, including the Internet, so you can make a well-informed decision.            

Note: If your car is under warranty, follow the maintenance schedule provided in order for your car to remain under warranty.

Car Owner’s Manual

Every car owner's manual has a maintenance schedule divided either by miles or months. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) recommends that instead of thinking "3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first" you should think, "3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes second." You're going to have to decide which system works best for the type of car you own and the amount of miles you put on it.

Just remember, it's always better to err on the side of more maintenance rather than less, especially if your car is under warranty.

Online  

If you don't have your car owner's manual (tsk, tsk), then you can online to the car manufacturer's Web site for the maintenance schedule. Not only can you obtain a printout of the car owner's manual rind warranty, but you can also sign up to receive e-mail service reminders and vehicle-specific recall notices; view vehicle operation, maintenance, and safety videos; and access online service and maintenance records.
Another option is to go to www.edmunds.com. Just plug in the required information about your vehicle and it will show you not only the maintenance schedule, but also the suggested cost of parts and labor

Mechanic

Because you're dealing with a checkup for your car instead of an unexpected repair, you'll have time to do some comparison shopping. Then ask your mechanic or dealership for a printout of everything that will be done on the car, as well as an estimate. Compare it with the online estimate. If there's a vast difference, call around to other repair shops and dealerships for more price quotes. We guarantee that you'll be shocked at the differences you'll find in prices and services.

DIY

Just because we told you how to formulate the right service checkups for your car, it doesn't mean that there's nothing left for you to do. In fad, any maintenance you do on your car will lessen the to-do list for the mechanic, which will lessen your bill.
