Services

Regular Car servicing includes:

• An engine oil and oil filter change, as well as lubricant change. Over time, both the engine oil and oil filter needs to be replaced to extend engine life. This can be done using either synthetic or natural oils, depending on customer preference. Natural oils tend to be a far cheaper option than synthetic oil and are hence preferred by customers.
• It also includes checking and cleaning the spark plugs for excessive soot and carbon deposits. We will also check your engine for any rusting of metal which can potentially cause serious problems down the line. Checking the drive belt tension is also important as it affects the fans, power steering and air conditioning of your car. A loose belt can cause serious problems, loud noises or even engine failure.
• In addition, we will also check the brakes and steering systems, and adjust the steering sensitivity and replace brake pads if necessary. It is necessary to pay attention to the company recommendations in order to change the brake pad. We will inspect the tires for any kind of wear and tear, and rotate the tires regularly so that it extends the life of the tires. If we notice any unusual patterns in the tires, we will recommend that you go for the wheel balancing and alignment servicing as given below. Otherwise, we simply visually inspect the tires for damage.
• The regular car servicing also includes visual inspection of the windscreen wipers, battery condition, refrigerant charging system, exhaust pipe condition, windscreen washer levels, and check and top-up the power steering liquid if need be. If your car is old, sometimes it is necessary to unclog the fuel filter as sediment can flow through the fuel lines from the bottom of the petrol/diesel tank.
• If your car needs it, we can also clean and disinfect the air filter vent, renew the spark plugs, change the manual transmission fluid, refrigerant fluid in the air conditioner, check the rear axle lubricant level, adjust the handbrake settings and steering angles and check to see if the headlight beams need an alignment.
• We also check-up and top-up automatic transmission fluid level according to the make of your car, and check if any other elements of the transmission system require examination and replacement. If the transmission fluid reduces below a certain level, other components of your car’s engine may need examination as well.
