FAQ :
​
​
How often should I service my car?
Regular servicing is essential to maintain your vehicle’s performance and safety. Typically, a car should be serviced every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Always refer to your car's manual for specific recommendations.
What is included in a full car service? A full service generally includes an oil change, brake checks, tire inspections, fluid top-ups, battery tests, and a comprehensive vehicle diagnostic. It's crucial to ensure all these elements are covered for optimal vehicle maintenance.
How can I tell if my car battery needs replacing? Signs of a failing battery include difficulty starting the engine, dim headlights, and a warning light on the dashboard. It's recommended to test your battery regularly and replace it every 3-5 years.
Why is my car making a strange noise? Unusual noises can indicate various issues, from worn-out brake pads to engine problems. It's best to have any new or persistent noises checked by a professional as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
How do I know if my car has been serviced properly? After a service, you should receive a detailed report listing all the checks and repairs completed. Ensure you ask for this documentation and review it to confirm all necessary tasks were performed.
What should I do if my car overheats? If your car overheats, safely pull over, turn off the engine, and wait for it to cool down. Check coolant levels once the engine has cooled. If the problem persists, seek professional assistance immediately.
How can I improve my car’s fuel efficiency? Maintaining correct tire pressure, regular servicing, driving smoothly, and removing excess weight from your vehicle can significantly improve fuel efficiency.
What does the check engine light mean? The check engine light can indicate various issues, from a loose gas cap to more severe engine problems. It’s crucial to have it diagnosed by a professional to determine the exact cause.
When should I replace my brake pads? Brake pads should be replaced every 20,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of brake pads. Listen for squealing sounds and check for decreased braking performance.
What is an MOT and why is it important? An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual vehicle inspection required by law in the UK. It ensures your car meets road safety and environmental standards. Regular MOTs help keep your vehicle safe and legally compliant.
