By servicing your car regularly, you are more likely to have a vehicle that runs smoothly and efficiently. Reducing the likelihood of it breaking down and requiring unexpected repairs. It may seem efficient not to service your car. But in reality, a service can catch issues with parts of the car where normal wear and tear may require minor maintenance. But, if left unattended, can become a costly major issue.
Importance of car servicing in our life
Regular car servicing can help identify potential problems before they become serious. With service, you can be sure that essential checks are carried out on critical components such as your brakes and suspension. So that these parts don’t let you down when you need them the most. Maintaining the roadworthiness of the vehicle through regular servicing provides peace of mind.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that a car is running well, just because it feels good. Miles accumulate as well as wear and tear. But motorists may not notice or feel any changes since deterioration is often gradual and out of sight. Motorists may mistakenly believe that their vehicle is fine because nothing major has gone wrong because of this.
Healthy engine
To keep the engine intact, car servicing is important on a regular basis. The vehicles are designed to require regular maintenance to keep them in good working condition. Changing the oil and filter at regular intervals prevents any dirt or dust from getting into the oily bits of the engine and potentially causing extensive damage. The engine’s longevity will also be prolonged as well as the car’s overall life span as a result.
We recommend getting your oil changed if you discover that it is a thick black. As a general rule, your oil should be golden brown. Diesel cars are less likely to have this problem because of the soot, so there’s no need to worry.
Warranty maintenance
It is perhaps the most important of all the reasons. In order to protect the Manufacturer’s warranty on a new car, you must have services performed at, or before, the appropriate intervals. Performing service outside of the manufacturer’s guidelines can invalidate your warranty, potentially leaving you responsible for any repair costs.
If you are unsure of when your vehicle’s next service is due, consult the owner’s manual. You can also call your local Evans Halshaw, who will be able to advise you and even book you in for a service.
Tyre check
As part of the Vehicle Health Check, the company will inspect your tyres to ensure that they are in good condition and have a reasonable amount of tread depth. In cold and wet weather, we recommend that you replace your tyres at around the 3mm mark to maintain adequate performance. There’s a 1.6mm tread depth limit.
Save money
It is a false economy to not service your vehicle every year to save a few pounds. Servicing your vehicle regularly can help prevent issues from becoming costly and expensive to fix later. As an example, engine oil is used to lubricate and protect the moving parts inside your engine. You could face thousands of dollars in repair or replacement if your engine seizes up. During our service schedules, we check the engine carbon cleaning and oil. If necessary, replace it with fresh oil designed for your car’s engine and clean the carbon to ensure it runs smoothly.
The cost of regular servicing can also be reduced at the petrol pump.
A smoother running engine and a more fuel-efficient car result from new oil and air filters, while addressing problems such as underinflated tyres will reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel efficiency.
As a result, not servicing your car increases your likelihood of suffering a breakdown, which can be both costly and inconvenient if you have to use a hire car or public transportation whilst your vehicle is being repaired.
Long-lasting car
If you regularly service your car, you will undoubtedly increase the life expectancy of your vehicle. As with your body, the better you take care of it, the longer it is likely to last. With more and more people holding on to their cars longer, regular servicing is important if you want to enjoy many years of trouble-free driving.
