Frequently asked questions

What does a car service include? 

A car service checks the condition of your car. General assessment can include everything, from general wear and tears to fluids, brakes, and engine condition, among other things. Vehicle service differs from car to car, depending on the make and model.

How often must I take my car in for service? 

The frequency of car service depends on various factors such as your vehicle's make and model, mileage, and driving conditions. As a general guideline, it's recommended to have your car serviced every 10 000 to 12 000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, always consult your car's owner's manual for manufacturer-specific recommendations, as some vehicles may require more or less frequent servicing. Additionally, regular maintenance checks like oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections should be performed at intervals specified in your manual to ensure your car runs smoothly and safely.

Why is my check engine light on? 

Your check engine light can illuminate for various reasons, ranging from minor issues to more serious problems. It serves as a warning that your car's onboard computer has detected a fault in the engine or emissions system. 

Common causes can include a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensors, a malfunctioning catalytic converter, or issues with the spark plugs or ignition system.

To pinpoint the exact cause, it's advisable to have your vehicle's diagnostic codes read by a mechanic or with an OBD-II scanner. Ignoring the check engine light can lead to reduced fuel efficiency and potentially more significant and costly repairs down the line, so it's best to address it promptly.

How often should I change the oil? 

The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle's make, model, and the type of oil used. As a general guideline, many cars benefit from an oil change every 5 000 to 8 000 km (or every 3 to 6 months), but newer vehicles and synthetic oils may allow for longer intervals, typically around 12 000 to 16 000 km.

Consult your car's owner's manual for manufacturer-specific recommendations to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.

When is the right time to change my brake pads? 

It's generally recommended to change your brake pads when they have worn down to about 3 millimeters thickness. However, this can vary based on your driving habits and the type of brake pads used. Regular inspections and listening for squealing or grinding noises when braking can help determine the right time for replacement. Additionally, follow your vehicle's manufacturer guidelines for brake pad replacement intervals mentioned in the owner's manual.

How to I change my car battery? 

Change your car battery with these steps:

1. Turn off the engine and all electrical accessories.

2. Locate the battery and identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

3. Disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal.

4. Remove any clamps or brackets holding the battery in place.

5. Lift out the old battery and place the new one in the same position.

6. Reconnect the positive terminal, followed by the negative terminal.

7. Secure the battery in place with clamps or brackets.

8. Ensure all connections are tight and corrosion-free.

9. Turn on the engine to verify the new battery is working correctly.

Remember to dispose of the old battery properly at a recycling center or auto parts store, as they contain hazardous materials. If you're unsure about the process, consider seeking professional assistance.
