Ignoring Your Car Service Reminders Could Cost You.

Not getting your car serviced on a regular basis can lead to all sorts of problems, including expensive repairs and even engine failure. 

By getting your car serviced on a regular basis you can avoid these problems and keep your car running smoothly. Our team of experienced mechanics will take care of everything, from oil changes to brake repairs.

5 Reasons Why You Should Service Your Car

1 - Don't compromise your safety

Just because your car seems to be running fine doesn't mean that everything is actually in working order. 

As your car racks up the miles, various parts will begin to wear down and deteriorate. However, because this deterioration is often gradual and hidden from view, many motorists mistakenly believe that all is well with their vehicle. 

This false sense of security can lead to big problems down the road. That's why it's so important to get your car serviced on a regular basis. 

Servicing will ensure that essential checks are carried out on critical vehicle components such as your braking system and suspension to ensure that these vital parts don't let you down when you need them most.

Regular servicing provides peace of mind that the vehicle is in road-worthy condition.

2 - Avoid big repair bills

Failing to service your car each year might seem like a good way to save a few pounds, but it's actually false economy. 

Regular servicing can help to identify issues early on that could later become costly and expensive to fix. For example, a simple oil leak might not seem like a big deal, but if left untreated it could cause serious engine damage.  

Similarly, worn brake pads might not cause any problems at the moment, but they could fail when you least expect it, leading to an accident.  

In short, regular servicing is vital to keeping your car in good condition and avoiding expensive repairs down the line.

So next time you're tempted to skip a service, remember that it's false economy.

3 - Improve the life span of your vehicle

Your vehicle is an investment that you entrust will last for years to come. If you live a busy lifestyle, it can be easy to pass up important milestones that your car needs to effectively stay on the road.  

It's imperative to follow good routine car servicing as it will help improve the overall longevity of your vehicle. 

4 - Maintain your car's value

As any new car buyer knows, the minute you drive off the forecourt, your car starts to lose value. Exact depreciation rates vary but expect to see your car drop around 30-40 per cent of its value within the first year.

Regular vehicle servicing not only provides piece of mind for the health of your vehicle, but a full-service history is also valuable to a possible new owner because it demonstrates that you've taken good care of it and will help you negotiate the price you desire when selling the vehicle.

Many prospective buyers are willing to pay more for a car that has been regularly serviced.

5 - Maintain the manufacturer’s warranty 

One of the most important reasons for scheduled service work is that manufacturers require this in line with their car maintenance guidelines.  

Failure to comply may invalidate your warranty, resulting in you having to fork out money for repairs which otherwise would be covered by the manufacturer.

It is, therefore, a good idea to familiarise yourself with not only when your car is due for its next service but also with the exact parts which will need to be replaced.

Conclusion 

So, while it may seem like you're forking out extra cash for nothing, think of car servicing as an investment in the long run.
