If you have ever wondered whether it’s worth keeping your car regularly serviced, the answer is a most emphatic yes. There are a number of welcome benefits to doing so, but perhaps more important are the repercussions that can occur should you decide not to. Put simply, you’ll be taking a gamble that really isn’t worth taking.
How often you need to have your vehicle serviced will depend on a number of factors, such as the make and model of the car, the mileage and the age. As a general rule of thumb, every 10,000 miles or every twelve months is a reasonable guide.
A full service will cover a great many issues, including oil changes, checks to the tyres, bodywork, lights, brakes and steering, inspection of various components and, in some cases, replacement of spark plugs and brake fluid. Here at Tannadice Motors, we carry out servicing on all makes and models, and we can advise you on what works best for you and your vehicle.
Failing to have your car serviced on a regular basis can be dangerous to you and your passengers, damaging to your vehicle’s condition and harmful to your bank balance. In many cases, the service could be the first opportunity to observe and assess a potential issue that could become serious if left unchecked. The end result could be a far larger bill than you may have thought.
A full service history can be crucial
When you come to sell your car at some point in the future, it will almost certainly be worth more if it has a full service history from day one. Those vehicles which have something of an uncertain past are often viewed with suspicion, especially in cases where you’re looking to part-exchange your car in the purchase of another.
There’s something wonderfully reassuring about driving a car that has been regularly serviced. It tends to run smoother, the various components are doing their job to the best of their abilities and the safety levels are higher. We all like to have that confidence when we’re driving, don’t we?
