Basic car maintainance & Service

It’s the same with your body – you know it needs regular maintenance. If you’re smart, you eat decent food,
get the sleep you need to function, hit the gym now and then and visit the doctor if something isn’t working right. It’s just
common sense

But what about your car?

Here are some basic tips to help you increase your car perfomance

Keeping your car in tip-top condition keeps you safer on the road and can save you heaps of money in the long-term. When it comes
to your vehicle, prevention is 1000 times better than cure. Basic upkeep is cheaper than major repairs caused by neglect.

Read the owner's manual

Your car service manual may not be quite as exciting to read as the latest bestselling novel, but it’s full of handy information and tips:
which fluids to top up (and how often), how to check tyre pressure, what to do when your engine overheats and how to change the bulbs in
your blinker lights. It will tell you how to perform basic maintenance jobs the correct way.

Check fluids

Most cars will use the following fluids: engine oil, radiator coolant, automatic transmission fluid, windscreen washer fluid,
brake fluid, clutch fluid, power steering fluid, battery electrolyte fluid (distilled water) and possibly more depending on the vehicle type.
Check fluids regularly, and replace when needed.

Check engine air filter

The more stop-start driving you do and the dustier the roads you drive on, the more often it’ll need a change.

Check on your car tyres

A good way to extend the life of all your tyres is to have them rotated regularly to reduce uneven wear.

Check on wipers

Wiper blades should be changed at least once a year – and sooner if you’re having trouble seeing through your windscreen properly.

Check on the battery

Car batteries have a habit of conking out when you need them most, so it pays to;

  1. keep track of how old they are,
  2. check the terminals for corrosion whenever you open the bonnet and
  3. top up the battery fluid when necessary.Use distilled water and don’t overfill.
