An oil change is only one part of looking after your vehicle.

A proper service is about paying attention to the details — checking essential components, identifying potential wear and making sure your vehicle gets the care it needs.

Because what happens under the bonnet matters long after you leave the workshop.

A repair quote arrives. There’s a total at the bottom—but do you understand what you’re paying for?
Ask which parts need replacing, what the labour covers and why the work is recommended. If something isn’t clear, ask for an explanation before approving it.
When you’re comparing quotes, check that they cover the same work and parts. Two different totals don’t always mean you’re comparing the same repair.
At Craighall Car Clinic, speak to our team about the findings and proposed work so you can make an informed decision.

The engine light came on, but the car still starts. You’ve made it to work and back, so you’re hoping it can wait.
How the car feels doesn’t tell you why the light is on.
A diagnostic assessment helps identify the fault and what needs investigating. Guessing—or simply clearing the light—doesn’t fix the cause.
Check your owner’s manual for the warning shown. A flashing engine light, rough running or loss of power needs prompt attention.

The traffic on Jan Smuts isn’t moving—and your temperature gauge is creeping up.

That needs attention. Repeated overheating or regularly having to top up coolant is a reason to have the cooling system checked.

A leak, cooling fan problem or another fault could be behind it. Finding the cause matters more than another top-up.

If your vehicle overheats, stop somewhere safe and switch off the engine. Never open the coolant cap while the engine is hot.

Your licence disc is up to date. When last were your brakes, steering and suspension checked?
These components take strain on Johannesburg North’s roads, from pothole impacts to constant braking in traffic. Wear isn’t always easy to spot from the driver’s seat.
This Transport Month, give the condition of your car some attention too. If you’ve noticed knocking, vibration or a change in how it stops or handles, book a vehicle check-in with Craighall Car Clinic.

Getting fewer kilometres from a tank—even though you’re driving the same routes?
Joburg’s stop-start traffic already uses its share of fuel. If you’re filling up more often without a change in your usual commute, it’s worth checking why.
Low tyre pressure, overdue servicing or an engine fault can contribute to higher fuel consumption. A service and assessment can help identify what needs attention.

The car ahead brakes suddenly. The road is wet. How good is your grip?
Whether you’re heading down Jan Smuts Avenue or navigating the afternoon traffic through Craighall, your tyres matter when you need to stop.
Worn tread reduces a tyre’s ability to disperse water, affecting grip on wet roads. Give yourself more following distance in the rain—and have your tyre condition checked.

Hit a pothole and now your car feels different?
Maybe the steering pulls to one side, there’s a new vibration, or you’ve noticed a knock that wasn’t there before. Even if you drove away without a flat tyre, it’s worth having it checked.
On Johannesburg North roads, rain-filled potholes can be difficult to spot—and the damage isn’t always obvious.
Let Craighall Car Clinic check your vehicle and help you find out what needs attention.

The route hasn’t changed. The driving conditions have. 🌧️
Rain on Jan Smuts Avenue means reduced visibility, longer stopping distances and potholes you might only spot when it’s too late.
For Johannesburg North motorists, this is when worn tyres, tired wipers and braking issues become harder to ignore.
Give your car the attention your daily commute demands. Book your vehicle check-in with Craighall Car Clinic today.
