Why service your car?
Although servicing your vehicle is not a legal requirement, there are a number of good reasons why you should consider getting your car serviced on a regular basis.
Safety
Regular servicing can help to identify potential problems before they become real ones. Servicing will make sure that essential checks are carried out to critical vehicle components such as your braking system and suspension to make sure that these vital parts don’t let you down when you need them most. Regular servicing provides peace of mind that the vehicle is in road-worthy condition.
Save money
Failing to service your vehicle each year to save a few dollars really is a false economy. Regular servicing can help to identify issues early on that could later become costly and expensive to rectify. Take engine oil for example, it’s needed to lubricate and protect the moving parts inside your engine. Without it, your engine could seize up costing thousands to repair or replace. All our service schedules include checking the engine oil and, if needed, replacing this with fresh oil specifically designed for your car to keep your engine running smoothly.
Regular servicing can also save motorists money at the gas pump. New oil and air filters make for a smoother running engine and a more fuel efficient car, while addressing issues such as under inflated tyres will reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel consumption.
Furthermore, not servicing your car increases your chances of suffering a breakdown – which is both costly and inconvenient if you subsequently become reliant on hire cars or public transport whilst your vehicle is fixed.
Longevity
Simply put, regularly servicing your car will undoubtedly improve the life span of the vehicle. Just like your body, the better you treat it – the longer it is likely to last. And with more and more people choosing to hold on to their car for longer – regular servicing is crucial if you are to enjoy many years of trouble-free driving.
Maintaining vehicle value
The second hand market is always competitive, with buyers expecting more for their money. A car with evidence of regular servicing – or even better a full service history – is likely to attract more potential buyers and a higher selling price.
