A lot of people wait until something goes wrong before booking a service. By that point it can end up costing a lot more to fix.
Here are some signs your car might be due a service:
- A warning light has come on (even if the car still feels fine)
- It's been over a year or 10,000 miles since your last service
- The engine sounds rougher than usual
- It's using more fuel than normal
- The oil looks dark and dirty on the dipstick
Regular servicing keeps small problems from turning into expensive ones. But most importantly, it helps your car hold its value too.
