Regular car servicing isn’t just about keeping your vehicle running smoothly—it’s about keeping you and your passengers safe, saving money in the long run, and protecting the value of your car. At Oxbys Autos, we believe in preventative care, not just quick fixes. Here’s why servicing your car should never be an afterthought.
1. Safety First
The most important reason to service your car is safety. Routine checks help identify potential issues before they become serious problems. Brakes, suspension, steering, and tyres are all checked during a standard service—so you’re not caught off guard when it matters most.
2. Save Money Over Time
Think of servicing as an investment. Catching a worn timing belt or low oil levels early can save you from a costly engine rebuild later. Regular oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid top-ups help avoid the kind of wear and tear that leads to expensive repairs.
3. Improve Fuel Efficiency
A well-serviced engine runs more efficiently. That means more miles per gallon and fewer trips to the petrol station. Things like clogged air filters or old spark plugs can have a big impact on how much fuel your car consumes.
4. Retain Resale Value
If you plan on selling or part-exchanging your car, a full service history will always boost its value. It shows potential buyers that the vehicle has been looked after properly, and gives them confidence in its reliability.
5. Peace of Mind
Let’s face it—there’s enough to worry about in daily life. A regular visit to your trusted local garage (that’s us!) means you can drive with confidence, knowing everything is working as it should.
How Often Should You Service Your Car?
Most manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months or 10,000-12,000 miles—whichever comes first. But it can vary depending on your make and model, and how you drive. At Oxbys Autos, we’re happy to look up your vehicle’s service schedule and advise you on what’s due next.
