What we offer with our car servicing and why is it important to get your vehicle serviced?

Apart from the visual inspections and checking of components, such as the brakes, suspension and steering. The main parts replaced during a service are as followed. 

• Oil and oil filter replacement
  With the repeated heating and cooling of the engine oil, it will start to lose its lubrication qualities which in turn will end up damaging your engine. So regularly changing of the oil and filter will help to extend the life of the engine by keeping it lubricated, allowing all the moving mechanical parts inside of the engine to operate as they are intended to.
• Air filter replacement
  If your air filter is blocked, it will result in the car using excessive fuel to stop it from staling.
• Pollen/cabin filter replacement
  This filter helps to purifier the air coming into the car. It is important to get this changed regularly as the blower motor could end up over working its self by having to suck to hard the air through the filter.
• Fuel filter replacement
  This help to remove any dirt and debris that often ends up entering your fuel tank when filling up at fuel starting. Regular replacement will help the fuel pump as it will not have to work as hard to push the fuel through the filter and maintaining the consistent high fuel pressure that modern engines now have.
• Spark plugs replacement
  Regular changing of the spark plugs will help to prevent misfires and help to keep the engine running at optimum efficiency.
• Brake fluid replacement
  Brake fluid is hygroscopic which mean that over time it will absorb moisture from the atmosphere and lowing the boiling point which could result in a weaker braking system. Most manufacturers advise to replace this every 2 years.
• Antifreeze/coolant replacement
  The purpose of this is to ensure that the liquid does not freeze, the metal internals of the cooling system such as the water pump and thermostat do not become rusty and seize. Finally, to stop the engine from overheating which can result in head gasket damage.
• Checking the/adjusting tyre pressures 
  It is important to ensure the tyres have the correct tyre pressures in them, this will help to maintain maximum traction on the roads, even tyre wear and helps to maximise fuel efficiency.
