Why Regular Car Servicing is Essential

Every journey you embark upon in your car, whether it’s a short trip to the supermarket or a long cross-country drive, is dependent on the complex mechanics that underpin your vehicle.

Just as you wouldn’t ignore regular health check-ups, your vehicle too needs regular servicing to stay in top condition.

In this post, we’ll take a deep dive into our comprehensive annual car service, highlighting why it’s essential for your car’s health and your peace of mind.

**1. Service Preparation and Road Test**

Before we even open the bonnet, we give your vehicle a thorough visual inspection and a road test. This crucial initial step allows us to detect any unusual noises or behaviour, such as steering alignment or brake performance. After all, around 20% of MOT failures in the UK are due to issues that could be identified through a simple road test!

**2. Initial Service Checks**

Is your service history up-to-date? How about your vehicle’s warning lights? We leave no stone unturned in verifying that your car is maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. This is critical as 10% of car owners ignore warning lights, leading to further damage and higher repair costs in the long run.

**3. Function Check**

From the screen wash wipers to the air conditioning, we make sure everything inside your vehicle is working just as it should. Imagine being caught in a downpour with a malfunctioning wiper or a hot day with no AC. Simple as they may seem, these functions significantly impact your comfort and safety on the road.

**4. Vehicle Checks, on and off the Ground**

Your vehicle is a complex machine with hundreds of interconnected parts. We thoroughly check your vehicle, both on the ground and raised off the ground. We assess everything from the auxiliary belts to the exhaust system. Did you know that a worn-out auxiliary belt can lead to a sudden breakdown? Preventive checks can save you from being stranded!

**5. Tyres and Wheels**

Tyres are the only point of contact between your car and the road. We ensure your tyres are in good shape, with optimal pressure and tread depth. Remember, correctly inflated tyres can improve fuel efficiency by up to 3%!

**6. Vehicle Inspection**

Last but not least, we inspect your vehicle’s structure for any corrosion or damage. A compromised vehicle chassis can significantly impact the car’s safety, performance, and value. Regular checks can help spot minor rust before it becomes a serious issue.

Our comprehensive annual car service is designed to detect potential issues before they escalate, maintaining your vehicle’s optimal performance and extending its lifespan. It’s not just about peace of mind; regular servicing can save you money by preventing costly repairs, improving your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, and even increasing its resale value.

So why wait? Give your car the care it deserves. Book your annual service now and let us ensure that your car remains your reliable companion for all your journeys.
