A Comprehensive Checklist
A standard car service covers a comprehensive checklist designed to maintain your vehicle’s health and identify developing issues early. This typically includes:
- Replacing the engine oil & filter
- Checking & topping up fluids (coolant, brake fluid, power steering, washer)
- Inspecting the brakes & tyres
- Checking lights, belts, battery condition, wipers & safety systems
- Cabin filter, spark plug or transmission fluid replacement (if required)
Servicing intervals usually range between 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every six months, depending on your vehicle’s make, model and how it’s used. Sticking to these intervals not only improves your vehicle’s lifespan but also maintains its resale value and fuel efficiency.
Servicing also helps ensure your car meets roadworthiness standards, which is particularly important for older vehicles or those used for commercial purposes. Reach out to AWS Mechanical today!
How often should my car be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing your vehicle every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every six months—whichever comes first. However, if you drive in harsh conditions (frequent stop-start traffic, extreme heat, towing or off-roading), more frequent servicing may be necessary. Always refer to your owner's manual, and if in doubt, a professional mechanic can provide advice based on your driving habits and vehicle age.
What happens if I skip a car service?
Skipping a car service can lead to worn components going unnoticed, reduced engine performance, higher fuel consumption and even major mechanical failures. Over time, this increases the risk of breakdowns and repair costs. Regular servicing helps detect and fix problems early, maintain roadworthiness and extend the life of your vehicle.
Will servicing my car improve fuel economy?
Yes. A well-serviced car typically runs more efficiently. Replacing dirty oil, clogged filters and worn spark plugs helps the engine breathe better and burn fuel more effectively. Ensuring your tyres are correctly inflated and your brakes and suspension are operating smoothly also reduces drag, which can improve fuel consumption over time.
