Getting Started With Car Maintenence
If you’re looking to make a start with car maintenance there are a number of tasks that you start today with your parked car that can ensure that you are safe on the road and that you aren’t in for any nasty surprises when out on the road. The following checks can be carried out as part of one inspection of your vehicle and we recommend weekly checks:
- Check the engine oil level by opening the bonnet of your vehicle and operating the engine oil dipstick. If you dip the stick into the oil area and then check upon lifting out of the designated area – the indicator on the stick will tell you as to whether you need to top up the engine oil or whether you are at the required level. We can also carry out this check for you.
- Your tyres are the only thing separating you from the road so it’s important that you check your tyres for embedded objects, deflation or other issues. If your tread depth is under 1.6mm – this is illegal and you could face hefty fines and 3 points on your license per tyre that does not comply with these regulations.
Regular Car Servicing Schedule
Getting your car regularly serviced by a reputable garage is highly important and this is key in ensuring that your car is running as efficiently as possible. Servicing carries out certain tasks such as oil changes and other tasks that will make your car more efficient, run further with the same amount of fuel and can make your car more fuel-efficient. Considering that fuel prices are massively increased currently – this makes servicing a fantastic investment for your vehicle. Arranging for servicing every year is the recommended minimum amount but interim servicing is also a great way to ensure that your vehicle is as efficient as possible when on the road. You can also prepare your car for its MOT and ensure that you are reducing the number of major issues that can go wrong when combining this with regular car maintenance.
