How often should I have my car serviced?
How often your vehicle is serviced varies by make and model. Many vehicles notify the driver when their service is due by a warning light appearing on the dashboard. You can also consult your vehicle handbook to check when your servicing is required. If you have any questions about servicing please contact your local Arnold Clark Service Centre.
What are the most common maintenance items recommended by manufacturers?
Oil
Oil is vital to keep every part of your engine working well. Heat from the engine can break down the oil and if it becomes too thin, certain engine components will wear out fast.
Air Filter
Over time, your vehicle’s air filter can become clogged up with dust and dirt, reducing your engine’s horsepower. Air filter replacement depends how many miles you drive, but it’s good to have it checked regularly.
Brake Pads
A number of factors impact on how long your brake pads last such as:
Driving style, vehicle weight and quality all have an impact on how long brake pads last. Many vehicles now come with a built-in wear monitor.
Tyres
The quality of your tyres are crucial to your safety on the road and their life expectancy depends on many factors such as how you drive, road conditions and the brand of tyres you choose.
The minimum legal tread depth for passenger cars is 1.6mm in a continuous band around the central three quarters of the tyre.
