FAQ – About Car Servicing
- Q: How often should I service my car? A: It is generally recommended to service your car every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and driving conditions. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
- Q: What is included in a standard car service? A: A standard car service typically includes an oil and filter change, inspection of the brakes, tyres, and suspension, checking and topping up all fluids, and a general safety check. Additional services may be performed based on the vehicle’s needs and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Q: Why is regular car servicing important? A: Regular car servicing is crucial for maintaining the performance, safety, and longevity of your vehicle. It helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, ensures optimal fuel efficiency, and keeps your car running smoothly.
- Q: What is the difference between a minor and a major service? A: A minor service usually includes basic maintenance tasks such as oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups, and safety checks. A major service is more comprehensive and may include additional tasks such as replacing spark plugs, air filters, and timing belts, as well as more thorough inspections of the vehicle’s systems.
- Q: Can I service my car myself? A: While some basic maintenance tasks can be performed by car owners, it is generally recommended to have your car serviced by a qualified mechanic. Professional mechanics have the expertise, tools, and equipment to perform thorough inspections and repairs, ensuring your vehicle remains in optimal condition.
- Q: How do I know if my car needs servicing? A: Common signs that your car needs servicing include warning lights on the dashboard, unusual noises, decreased fuel efficiency, and changes in the vehicle’s handling or performance. Regularly checking your vehicle’s owner’s manual and following the recommended service intervals can help prevent these issues.
- Q: What happens if I skip a car service? A: Skipping a car service can lead to a range of problems, including decreased performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased risk of breakdowns. It can also void your vehicle’s warranty and lead to more expensive repairs in the long run.
- Q: How can I find a reliable mechanic for car servicing? A: Look for a mechanic with good reviews and recommendations from friends or family. Ensure they are certified and have experience with your vehicle’s make and model.
