Keeping Your Car in Tip-Top Condition
To maintain the health of your car, it’s essential that you regularly get it serviced, according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Some cars need annual servicing, others may need additional servicing, depending on the amount of use. Perhaps you’ve noticed a thumping sound, or a rattling noise when you drive? Maybe your steering feels tight or you just have that feeling that your car isn’t running as well as it should be! TyreChoice is right here ready to put any faults right so your car runs like a dream!
At TyreChoice, we offer two types of car servicing, a Logbook Service and an Essential Service for all makes and models. Here’s what they consist of:
This type of car service checks your vehicle thoroughly, under the trained eye of one of our expert mechanics. It is bound by your vehicle’s manufacturer’s guidelines and meets the tasks as set out in your logbook. Usually, this type of service should be conducted every few months, depending on your car’s requirements.
The other service that we offer at TyreChoice is Essential Servicing. This option is ideal for an older car or if you’d rather manage your car’s servicing without using your manufacturer’s service schedule.
Regular servicing is essential to keep your vehicle running safely and to maintain its longevity. By using the best products and knowledge applied, we maximise the life of your vehicle and spot potential problems before a major one occurs. We will provide suggestions on any concerns or areas that need to be addressed.
Generally a vehicle should be serviced every 10,000kms. The average person usually takes 6 months to drive 10,000kms. We ensure our customers are on top of their services with reminders to check so that their car is running smoothly.
Basic service process
Our vehicle service ensures that your car health is in check by the following process:
Test drive: Carried out to ascertain whether the brakes, engine and suspension are in working order.
Oil Change: A reoccurring issue we see is the use of thin oils used in vehicles. Although they are a cheaper alternative, they will reduce the life and performance of your vehicle. To get the most out of your investment we only use the best oils i the market such as Penrite and Valvoline. This not only maximises the life of your vehicle but also maximises the performance of your engine.
Brake check: Precise measurements are taken and further recommendations provided if adjustments are required.
Tyre pressure and tread check: A check on tyre wear, pressure and overall condition is carried out to ensure it is up to safety standards.
Wheel alignment check: A check to ensure your wheels are aligned creating a straight and centred drive, to prevent uneven tyre wear and uncomfortable vibrations on the road.
Water level check: Water is check and replenish as required.
Steering and suspension check: Joints and bearings are checked for leaks.
Final check and test drive: An overall check including engine, wheels and test drive to ensure your vehicle is up to high standard.
