Stay Safe! When To Book Your Car In For A Service

The winter months can take a toll on your vehicle, the icy weather conditions can affect your car’s performance and unfortunately, many car owners neglect the warning signs on when you should get your car serviced by a professional.

Servicing your car regularly can potentially save you money in the long run. Any problems or issues that are recognised early are generally cheaper to fix, plus it will increase the lifespan of your car and the value.

We understand that it can be difficult to recognise when your car needs to go in for a service, that’s why our team of experts have compiled a list as to when your car may be giving signs of a problem and when you should get them checked out!

Don’t Miss Your Annual Service!

The colder months can tighten peoples pockets, as most of us are on budgets. So it is understandable that it can be quite tempting to skip your annual car servicing appointment. However, skipping services may end up with bigger bills to pay in the future.

Failing to maintain and service parts can cause excessive wear and tear, which you will have to repair to keep your car operating safely on the road. Don’t miss your annual service, book your vehicle in today!

Keep An Eye On The Dashboard!

The dashboard of your car will likely tell you when somethings not right with your vehicle, most modern cars now have very advanced warning signals that notice problems early.

The dashboard warning messages can range from, issues with the engine, oil levels, safety warnings and tyre pressure… See our blog article here on the top reasons why your BMW check engine light will come on.

If an unknown warning light appears on your dashboard,  the best advice is to get it checked out straight away with your specialist garage.

Check Your Wheel Alignment!

Looking after your tyres is essential in your car servicing plan. Damaged Tyres are at a high risk of losing traction in poor weather conditions and can potentially cause a crash, you can never predict the weather, so make sure your tyres fit the required standard for your car.

Damaged tyres may also affect your vehicle’s wheel alignment.

Your vehicle’s wheels will become unaligned over time with the standard wear and tear of the road. Problems such as potholes and kerbs can damage your wheels and position them out of alignment.

The most obvious sign that your wheels need aligning is when your tyres will show signs of wear unevenly. If you notice that your car pulls to the left or right whilst driving this can also be an early indication that your wheels have become unaligned.
