Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my car serviced?
Most vehicles should be serviced every six months or 10,000 kilometres—whichever comes first. However, the ideal interval depends on your car’s age, make, model, and how you drive it. If you often drive in stop-start traffic, tow heavy loads, or take short trips, your vehicle may require more frequent servicing. Always check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer's recommended service schedule. Keeping up with regular servicing not only protects your warranty but also extends your engine life, improves fuel economy, and helps avoid costly breakdowns in the future.
What is included in a standard car service?
A standard car service typically includes an oil and filter change, safety inspection, fluid top-ups (such as brake, coolant, and transmission fluid), tyre pressure check, and a review of key components like the brakes, suspension, battery, belts, and lights. Mechanics may also reset service reminder lights and conduct a road test to check performance. If the service is a logbook service, it will follow specific manufacturer guidelines to maintain your warranty. Some workshops may recommend additional repairs if issues are found during the inspection, but these are usually discussed with you beforehand.
What are the signs that my car needs repairs?
Common signs that your car needs repairs include strange noises (squealing, grinding, knocking), warning lights on the dashboard, fluid leaks under the vehicle, vibrations or pulling while driving, poor fuel economy, and trouble starting. You may also notice reduced braking performance, overheating, or excessive exhaust smoke. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to bigger problems and more expensive repairs, so it’s always best to get your car checked as soon as something doesn’t feel right. Even small changes in the way your car drives can indicate the need for mechanical attention.
