Your car should be serviced every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or every 6–12 months, depending on your vehicle's make, model, and manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular servicing keeps your vehicle running efficiently and safely by addressing essential components such as engine oil, brakes, filters, and fluids. Neglecting scheduled maintenance can lead to reduced performance, increased fuel consumption, and costly repairs down the line. Even if you don’t drive much, periodic servicing is crucial as time-related wear, such as oil degradation or corrosion, can still occur. Always refer to your car’s logbook or owner’s manual for specific intervals, and consult a trusted mechanic for advice tailored to your driving habits and vehicle type.

A logbook service involves following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule to ensure your vehicle remains in optimal condition and complies with warranty requirements. This type of service includes specific checks and tasks outlined in your car’s logbook, such as replacing fluids, inspecting safety components, and performing necessary adjustments. The service intervals and tasks vary based on mileage or time, which are determined by the car manufacturer. Choosing a certified mechanic ensures all work meets the manufacturer’s standards, maintaining the validity of your warranty. Keeping a complete service record also helps preserve your car’s resale value. Always ask your mechanic to stamp and update the logbook after each service.

Tyre rotation involves periodically changing the position of your tyres to ensure even wear and prolong their lifespan. Uneven tyre wear can occur due to differences in weight distribution, driving habits, or alignment issues. Rotating tyres helps maintain balanced traction, improves handling, and enhances fuel efficiency. It also ensures that all tyres wear at the same rate, preventing the need for premature replacements. Most manufacturers recommend rotating tyres every 10,000–12,000 kilometres or during routine servicing. Rotation patterns vary depending on whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, so consult your mechanic for advice tailored to your car’s setup.
