🔧 How often should I service my car?
It depends on your driving habits and the make of your vehicle — but generally:
📅 Every 12,000 miles or once a year
🛠️ Interim servicing may be needed for high-mileage or city drivers
📘 Refer to your owner’s manual or ask our technicians
🛢️ When do I need an oil change?
Clean oil is critical to engine health.
⛽ Every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on the vehicle
💡 Check your dipstick monthly
⚠️ If the oil looks dirty or low, book in ASAP
🛞 How can I tell if my tyres need replacing?
Worn tyres can affect handling and safety.
📏 Tread depth below 1.6mm is illegal
🔍 Check for cracks, bald spots, or bulges
🧭 Uneven wear may indicate alignment issues
🔋 How long should a car battery last?
Most car batteries last 3 to 5 years, but that depends on:
❄️ Cold starts in winter
🚗 Short trips with lots of stop-start driving
🔌 Electrical drain from accessories
📽️ Video : “Battery check and replacement”
🚨 What should I do if a warning light appears?
It depends on the colour of the warning light:
🔴 Red = stop and get help
🟠 Amber = book diagnostics soon
🟢 Green = informational only
💡 Ignoring amber lights can lead to costly repairs — don’t delay.
🧼 Do I really need to clean my car regularly?
