Not braking the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon have your braking back on track...
Read moreEaster is one of those holidays many people don't think about until it is almost upon them. Perhaps because it is not as long a period as Christmas but is more than just a long weekend, people often leave their Easter decisions to the last minute, including those impulsive, last minute trips away.
While Easter may seem a little way off, it’s wise to book your car in early for servicing to avoid the last-minute rush, especially if you're planning a trip over the Easter weekend. Mechanic shops and service centres are prime candidates for being booked solid weeks ahead of Easter so don't leave your service booking too long or you might have to take a journey without the benefits a well serviced vehicle can offer.
So as Easter approaches, it's a good time to start planning your holiday adventures or even just your daily drives around Gympie. One of the most crucial steps in your preparations is ensuring your car is in top condition. Regular servicing is key to preventing unexpected breakdowns and ensuring your vehicle's safety and performance.
A comprehensive car service involves several important mechanical checks and maintenance tasks. Here’s why they matter:
1. Brakes:
The brakes are arguably the most critical safety feature of any vehicle. Regular servicing ensures that your brake pads and discs are in excellent condition, preventing potential accidents caused by faulty braking.
2. Tyres:
Tyres are your vehicle's point of contact with the road, and their condition significantly affects your driving safety. A check will ensure that they have the correct tread depth and pressure, enhancing grip and reducing the risk of blowouts during long drives.
3. Battery:
An efficient battery is essential for reliable car starts and powering your vehicle’s electronics. Servicing includes checking the battery's charge and condition, avoiding unexpected issues.
4. Lights:
Functional lights are vital for visibility, especially during night drives or poor weather conditions. Ensuring that all lights, including headlights, indicators, and brake lights, are working well is a fundamental safety measure.
5. HVAC System:
A working HVAC system isn’t just for comfort. It also ensures that your windows stay demisted, maintaining clear visibility in varying weather conditions.
6. Fluid Levels:
From engine oil to coolant and brake fluid, maintaining proper fluid levels is crucial for smooth engine performance and preventing wear and tear. Regular checks help avoid engine overheating and other issues.
