Over the last few days, we’ve had a few customers say:
“I’ve only done 5,00km, I don’t need a service yet”
“I’ll just do oil and filter”
“I’ll wait until I hit the kms”
Here’s the reality 👇
Your car doesn’t just wear out based on kilometers - time matters just as much.
Even if you’re not driving much:
- Oil breaks down and absorbs moisture
- Fuel dilution reduces lubrication quality, especially with short trips
- Rubber seals and components age
- Brake components can corrode or glaze
That’s why manufacturers specify time OR kilometers - whichever comes first.
Skipping or reducing a service might save a few hundred dollars today…
…but it’s often what leads to:
- Oil leaks
- Sludge build-up
- Premature engine wear
- Increased fuel consumption
- Much bigger repair bills later
At Ultra Tune Christies Beach, we don’t offer “quick” or “partial” servicing.
If we’re putting our name on your car, it’s done properly - no shortcuts.
Every service is backed by our 6-month / 10,000km nationwide warranty, with roadside assistance included. T&Cs apply.
If you’re unsure whether your car actually needs a service, just ask, we’re always happy to explain it properly.
