Ask a Mechanic: How often should I service my car?

A good rule of thumb is every 12 months or 12,000 miles – whichever comes first. Some vehicles may need servicing more frequently, so it's always worth checking your manufacturer's recommendations.

Regular servicing helps to:
✅ Keep your car running efficiently
✅ Reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns
✅ Spot small issues before they become expensive repairs
✅ Maintain your vehicle's value and service history

Top 5 Signs Your Car Needs Checking

Your car will often give you warning signs before something goes seriously wrong. Catching them early could save you time, money and a breakdown.

🔊 1. Unusual noises – Squeaking, knocking or grinding sounds usually mean something needs attention.

🛞 2. Vibrations while driving – If your steering wheel or pedals are vibrating, it's worth getting checked.

💧 3. Fluid leaks – Oil, coolant or brake fluid on your driveway could indicate a developing problem.

🛑 4. Changes in braking or handling – If your car doesn't feel as responsive or takes longer to stop, have it inspected as soon as possible.

🚗 5. Dashboard warning lights – Don't ignore them. They're there for a reason.

If you've noticed any of these signs, don't wait until they become a bigger repair. Book your vehicle in with Simply Automotive and we'll get to the root of the problem.

❌ Car Myth vs ✅ Fact

❌ Myth: "If my tyres have plenty of tread, they're safe."

✅ Fact: Tread depth is only part of the story.

Tyres should also be checked for:
🛞 Uneven wear
🌡️ Correct tyre pressure
⚠️ Cracks, bulges or damage
📅 Their age

Your tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road, so keeping them in good condition is essential for safe braking, handling and grip—especially in wet weather.

Not sure if your tyres are roadworthy? Pop into Simply Automotive and we'll be happy to take a look.

🚨 Dashboard warning light on? Don't ignore it.

Not all warning lights mean the same thing. Some need immediate attention, while others can wait—but knowing the difference could save you from a costly repair.

Read our latest blog to find out what your dashboard warning lights actually mean:
