Why regular servicing matters
Routine maintenance helps identify developing problems before they become major failures.
The correct service interval depends on the vehicle manufacturer, engine, mileage, driving conditions, and service history.
Common maintenance checks
- Engine oil and filter
- Coolant level and cooling system
- Brake system
- Battery and charging system
- Tyres and tyre pressure
- Air filter
- Belts and hoses
- Transmission fluid where applicable
- Vehicle diagnostic scan when necessary
Do not wait for a breakdown
Preventive maintenance is usually easier and less expensive than repairing a vehicle after a major failure.
Keep records of servicing and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule whenever possible.
