Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a car be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing a car every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or once a year—whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your driving habits, vehicle type, and environmental conditions.
If you frequently drive in hot climates, tow heavy loads, or travel off-road, you may need more frequent servicing to avoid excessive wear and tear. Regular servicing includes vital checks on engine oil, filters, brakes, suspension, and other components that keep your vehicle running smoothly. Keeping up with your car’s service schedule not only extends the life of your vehicle but also helps maintain fuel efficiency and prevents costly breakdowns.
What does a full mechanical service include?
A full mechanical service is a comprehensive check-up of your vehicle to ensure everything is running as it should. It typically includes engine oil and filter changes, brake inspection, tyre checks, fluid top-ups (coolant, transmission, brake, and washer fluids), and battery testing.
Many full services also cover suspension and steering assessments, undercarriage inspection, and wheel alignment checks. Depending on the vehicle’s make and mileage, it may also involve replacing spark plugs, air filters, or timing belts. The goal is to identify and fix any issues before they become serious problems, keeping the vehicle safe and performing well.
Can I drive with suspension problems?
While it might be possible to drive with minor suspension issues, it’s not recommended. Suspension problems can affect your vehicle’s handling, braking, and overall stability—especially on uneven or rough roads.
Symptoms include a bumpy or uncomfortable ride, pulling to one side, clunking noises, or uneven tyre wear. Ignoring these signs can lead to further damage to the steering system and tyres, increase stopping distances, and put you at risk during emergency manoeuvres. It’s best to have your suspension checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as any issues arise to ensure safe driving conditions.
