Many leases include **routine maintenance** (oil changes, tire rotations, filter replacements, and scheduled services) at no extra cost-you just visit a dealer. This keeps the car in top shape and protects your lease agreement.

What **you typically pay for**: repairs beyond routine maintenance (if you cause damage), tire replacement (if they're damaged by impact), windshield repairs, and wear items like wiper blades in some cases. Your lease agreement spells out exactly what's covered.

Since your car is under warranty, most repairs should be free anyway. The key: follow the recommended maintenance schedule and use an authorized dealer to avoid voiding coverage.

Castle CDJR of Chesterton's Service department is here to keep your leased vehicle in perfect condition. Call **(219) 250-9487** to discuss maintenance coverage, or ask about it when you start your lease.
