What Does a Car Service Include?

Vehicle testing

If you’re a motorist, you’ll know just how frustrating a car can be at times. Particularly if you’ve got an older model, it’s imperative to keep it in good nick to ensure that it serves you well and lasts the test of time. There are a number of ways you can achieve this.

Primarily, it’s crucial to get any disconcerting noises checked out immediately and always make sure that you meet your MOT deadline. Another important way of making sure that your car lasts is by having it serviced regularly. Doing so can provide the mechanics of the vehicle with longevity. But what exactly is involved with a car service?


What Gets Checked and Changed?

During a service, a number of elements within the car will get checked and changed. Two of the major replacements to take place during a service are the oil running through the car and all of the filters. As well as this, all of the most important fluids - including the washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze and steering fluid - will be refilled and the most crucial operational parts within the car will be checked. The brakes, suspension, electrics and safety precautions will be checked to the guidelines of the manufacturer so that the car can leave in the best possible shape.


Why Is It So Important?

It’s recommended that a car is serviced once per year or once every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first and for good reason. Booking in for a service can help to improve your fuel efficiency, extend the lifetime of your car and will help you sell the vehicle for more. Without a full service history, it will be far more difficult to find a willing buyer and you are likely to get less for it.
