Most vehicles should be serviced every 6 months or every 5,000–10,000 km, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations and your driving habits. Regular servicing helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your car running safely.
Essential maintenance includes checking engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, tire pressure, tire tread, battery health, brakes, lights, windshield wipers, and air filters.
Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, reduced braking performance, vibrations when braking, or a brake warning light on your dashboard. Have them inspected immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
Proper tire pressure improves fuel efficiency, extends tire life, enhances handling, and reduces the risk of blowouts. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips.
