When should you take your car for service

With the increased costs of living and the current economic climate, when it comes to a car service, Canning Vale motorists may be tempted to leave it longer than necessary or avoid it altogether. This can be a costly mistake in the longer term. Although you may be considering saving money in the short term it can allow big problems to develop later. Many people also are a little confused about when they should actually take their vehicle in for a service.,There are a number of crucial times when having a service performed is the sensible option for caring for your car.

As directed by the owner manual:

Many people think of the owner manual as a simple handbook but it also contains a detailed schedule for servicing which should be followed to ensure the vehicle maintains optimum performance. If the car is still under manufacturer warranty, it is important to ensure that you follow the schedule precisely. Documentation of regular servicing will be necessary in the event of a major fault being claimed under the warranty. Each model and manufacturer of vehicles will have different requirements for their specific car service. Canning Vale motorists should consult their specific owner manual for the exact schedule for their vehicle.

When you think you can't afford the expense:

If you are finding that you have too much month at the end of every pay period, you may prefer to spend any available money on maintaining your household bills or the occasional treat. However, in neglecting the car service, Canning Vale car owners may find that big issues can develop which will be accompanied by costly repair bills. Oil changes, belt replacements, tyre balancing or tune ups which accompany a servicing can have significant consequences if they are not performed. Even a simple oil change can have the dire consequence of permanent engine damage if it is neglected. Regular servicing can actually extend the lifespan of many car components such as tyres since they are more likely to be worn evenly rather than causing more wear on certain areas which would require the tyre to be replaced. A service will ensure that your vehicle is at its optimum performance which can help to avoid breakdowns and could improve fuel efficiency saving you even more money.

When a warning light comes on:

Warning lights are designed to provide a warning that your car is not performing optimally. Flashing red lights indicate a potentially serious problem which needs immediate attention. Neglecting to get your vehicle checked or serviced when a warning light has come on could allow the problem to develop into a serious issue.

Before a big trip:

If you are planning long road trip it is advisable to have your vehicle checked before embarking on your adventure. Nothing can spoil a trip than breaking down or having a tyre issue when you are away from home and out of the reach of your trusted local garage. If an oil change is due, it is a good idea to have it done a little early so it is completed before your trip. This can allow you to relax and enjoy your trip knowing your vehicle is performing optimally.
