Professional Vehicle Servicing
Keeping Your Vehicle in Peak Condition
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.
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, suspension and steering to make sure that these vital parts don't let you down when you need them most. Regular servicing ensures that the vehicle is in road-worthy condition. As the mileage and services intervals increase and because deterioration is often gradual and not visible, motorists may not see or feel the change. This can lull motorists into a false sense of security, mistakenly believing that all is ok because nothing major has gone wrong with their vehicle.
Regular servicing can help to identify issues early on that could later become costly and expensive to rectify. For example, engine oil is needed to lubricate and protect the moving parts inside your engine. When it is deteriorated, it could lead to premature wear of the internal components of the engine. This could in turn mean costly repairs that could have been avoided. Regular servicing can also save motorists money at the petrol pump. New oil, air and fuel filters make for a smoother running engine and a more fuel-efficient car, while addressing issues such as incorrectly inflated tyres and badly adjusted brakes will reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel economy.
Furthermore, not servicing your car potentially reduces the reliability of your vehicle which could prove both costly and inconvenient.
