Let’s be honest. Getting your car serviced isn’t always at the top of everyone’s to-do list. When life gets in the way, it’s often the first thing to let slip. And it’s easy to understand why. To the non-technical eye, your car will probably always seem fine. If it’s not breaking down, making strange noises, and driving smoothly, why should you fork out money to get it serviced? Well, amongst many other things, not servicing your car can actually cost you more in the long run.
So, what’s the magic number? Well, most car manufacturers suggest every six months to a year or every 10,000kms, whichever comes first. But keep in mind, this is just for an average vehicle. Cars that perform more heavy-duty tasks are advised to have more frequent services. Plus, if you drive an older car, it might be worth booking in a little earlier and keeping a close eye on your odometer. Good mechanical repairers should look at your car and individually diagnose it (just like if it were a person going to the doctor - everyone’s different!). Co-founder of Accelerate Automotive Alan says, ‘We make sure to give tailored car advice to everyone. From when they should get their car serviced to how they should be taking care of their vehicle, it’s important that we give everyone bespoke treatment.’
From safety to cost, here are our top five reasons why you should service your car on time.
