Why should my car be serviced?
Keeping your Vehicle in good mechanical order requires regular servicing to manufactures recommendations. Regular servicing helps the overall wellbeing of your vehicle and prolongs the longevity of your car reducing mechanical breakdowns.
Having your vehicle serviced at Unique Autocentre Ltd will not affect your manufactures warranty. New government legislation now gives you the right to have your vehicle not serviced at the main dealer in order to retain its warranty.
When should my car be serviced?
A vehicle should be serviced to original manufactures recommendations at scheduled intervals. For most vehicle makes and models an annual service regardless of mileage should be carried out. Cars fitted with condition based servicing (CBS) is serviced when the vehicles on board sensors analyse the condition of components or fluids and are scheduled as noted on the vehicles on board computers.
What happens in a service?
When your vehicle is in for a service a full mechanical inspection is carried out. All wheels are removed and the braking systems are inspected and a brake report is carried out. Tyre tread depths are checked and along with tyre pressures set. The correct type of Engine oil and engine oil filter is changed using original equipment matching quality parts throughout. Air filters, pollen filters and fuel filters are changed if due. Additional service requirements maybe due on the vehicle for example the sparkplugs may need changing, Brake fluid changing, coolant fluid change and air conditioning re-gas may be required or can be requested by the customer. If on a thorough inspection your vehicle requires additional repairs we will always make a note and advise you on the best way to care for your car.
