Why Should Car Service Be Done Regularly?

A car service is to your car what a health check-up is to you.

The manufacturers of a car decide the intervals between which the various parts have to be checked upon, spruced up, or replaced.

The interval period is decided by them to ensure maximum safety, reliability, longevity and efficiency in terms of performance and costs to the car owner.

It is therefore tremendously important to follow manufacturer guidelines - usually mentioned in the manual you get with your car - on when your car should be serviced.

What Is A Car Service Checklist? What Does A Full Car Service Include?

How Often Should I Give My Car for Service?

On purchasing the car, a manual with the required maintenance intervals will be provided to you based on the make and model, the age of the car, kilometres traveled and the type of roads frequented.

The advantages of following manufacturer service guidelines are:

You save money in the long run by ensuring consistent proper maintenance - the bigger the problem later, the more the money required.
You also save money on fuel by keeping your car running at maximum efficiency with on-time servicing.
Regular servicing reduces the risk of dangerous car accidents keeping you and your family safe
It increases your car's lifespan.
It increases resale value by assuring the buyer of a safe, well-maintained car.
It will help you claim maximum insurance in case of an accident.

What Should A Car Service Cost?

Car servicing costs depend on the make and model of your car, the age and condition of the car, the extent of repairs and replacements required and your location.

Can I Service My Car At Home?
