Why service your car?
Four benefits of regular vehicle servicing:
Saves money
Servicing maintains your fuel efficiency, parts requiring replacement are identified before they fail and it reduces your chance of having a breakdown – prevention is the key to saving you money on costly repairs.
Improves safety
Servicing also includes a list of safety checks, helping to identify and replace any worn parts and keeping critical components like the suspension, steering, and braking systems working.
Increases longevity
A consistently serviced engine and well looked after vehicle will last longer than a neglected one.
Retains resale value
A car with a full-service history is more attractive to buyers and is likely to attract a higher sale price.
How do I know what Service my vehicle is due for?
In order to understand which service your vehicle may need, it is important to know the difference of each service.
