Why Do I Need A Car Service?

If you are a high mileage user of your car you need an interim or 6 month car service. Sometimes your manufacturer recommends that your car needs more frequent checks. This service helps to maintain your car and can prevent unforeseen problems. It should include an oil and change of filter, as well as a wide range of checks on basic items like checking for oil leaks, checking for wear on steering and suspension components, checking brakes for wear or damage and a visual inspection of the general condition of the car.

The twelve month car service is very comprehensive to ensure trouble free driving. This car service should include an extensive list of checks. Some garages’ annual service exceeds the manufacturer’s service schedule. This full service should include replacement of engine oil, spark plugs and the oil and air filters.

These regular car services help to eliminate the wear and tear that leaves your car prone to a breakdown. Winter can be an especially hard time for your car. Make sure you have an oil and filter change, top up all fluids, and get an inspection of brakes, coolant, lights, tyres and battery. Make sure all the essentials are checked, just to be on the safe side. Save yourself a headache by having your car service done well before winter hits.
