Skipping services might save time short-term, but it can cost you in the long run.

📆 Follow your manufacturer’s guide (typically every 10,000–12,000 miles)
🧰 Regular servicing keeps everything running smoothly
🔋 2. Don’t Ignore Dashboard Warnings
That little light on your dashboard? It’s not there for decoration.
⚠️ Red = urgent, stop the car
