Why should I have my car serviced?
Regular servicing prolongs the life of mechanical components, helps to maintain roadworthiness and contributes to greater reliability, economy and resale value. Without regular servicing you increase the potential of breakdowns and expensive repairs.
When should I have my car serviced?
You should service your new car as often as is outlined in your owner's manual. For older cars, you need to have at least an oil and filter change every six months or 10,000km, whichever comes first.
How can I get the best resale value for my car?
Regular maintenance and washing are essential to have your car in tip-top shape come time to sell. If you've neglected to have it washed and polished, or you just want to give it a makeover, you can have it detailed prior to sale. You should also keep all maintenance records, so buyers can get an idea of the maintenance history and see what parts might be new.
Checks you can do!
Check engine oil
With the car on level ground and the engine warm (but not running), remove the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag. Reinsert the dipstick, fully remove it again, check that the oil level is between the two marks and top up if needed.
Check the coolant level
Check that the coolant level in the plastic reservoir is between the high and low marks. If your car doesn’t have a reservoir, with the engine cool, remove the radiator cap and check the level in the radiator. If it’s more than 25mm below the neck of the cap socket, top it up with the correct coolant concentration.
Look for worn or damaged parts
Look for frayed, damaged, loose or disconnected wiring Check hoses and pipes and the top and bottom radiator hoses, heater hoses, fuel lines and any pipes associated with power steering or brakes. Ask your mechanic to replace any that are soft, kinked, swollen or cracked.
Check you owner’s handbook
Check your owner’s handbook or contact your service centre to find out the automatic transmission and power steering fluid levels and fill as necessary. Check tyre pressure Check and adjust tyre pressure when tyres are cold. You'll find your car's correct tyre pressure on the inside of your glovebox, fuel cap filler, or inside the driver's door opening.
Check your lights
Make sure all your lights are working: high beam, stop, indicator and reverse.
