At some point, almost all of us have asked the question “how often should you service your car?” 

It can be very tempting to delay an upcoming service, however, this temptation is more likely to do more harm than good. Car owners experience numerous benefits from regular car services. In contrast, irregular services may result in serious problems with your vehicle.

Additionally, if you’re still questioning whether to get your car serviced, we at Auto Edge can help. In addition, our team has worked together to answer some of the most common car servicing questions, to shed some light on your car’s needs.

How often should you service your car?

Firstly, the answer to this question depends on the age, condition and make of your car. 

In addition, cars that are driven often, or driven in harsh conditions should be serviced more regularly than the average car. Additionally, each car should come with an individual owners manual and vehicle logbook, which will advise the number of kilometres or months that your car is due for a service. 

Furthermore, if you don’t have access to your logbook, the general rule of thumb is every six months or 10,000 kilometres, depending on which comes first. Note: even if your car hasn’t driven the specified number of kilometres, a regular service is vital. Finally, the regular inspection of your engine and changing of fluids is pivotal to your car working safely and efficiently. 

Why should I get my car serviced?

It can be easy to want to delay a car service when your car seems to be working properly. However, delaying your service is detrimental to the functionality of your car and potentially your safety. 

There are numerous benefits to servicing your car. 

Most importantly, a car service will ensure your car is working in its intended manner and maximise your safety. In addition, this is achieved through surveying all aspects of your car including: engine quality, suspensions, brakes, spark plugs and fluids. Furthermore, getting your car serviced regularly will not only ensure your car retains its roadworthy status, but also help steady the resale value. Finally, Car services are vital to maintaining your investment. 

What happens if I don’t get my car serviced?

Firstly, skipping your car service can be a costly mistake. Additionally, by missing your service, you are simultaneously risking your safety and opening yourself up to the possibility of extended time without your vehicle and an expensive bill. 

Without a regular service, you are negatively impacting:

  • Your safety
  • Your vehicle’s fuel economy
  • The overall driving feel
  • Your car’s individual parts

Additionally, the number of issues that arise from irregular car servicing is extensive. It is well known that prevention is better than cure, and your car service is the time for it.
