What’s Involved in Car Servicing?
Car servicing is a series of maintenance procedures which aim to ensure a vehicle remains in good working condition, is safe to drive, and isn’t at risk of developing issues which will eventually cost a bundle to repair. At Higgins Mechanics t/a MTS, we offer interim, annual and major servicing to motorists in and around Bordon, Farnham, Liphook, Haslemere and Petersfield.
Manufacturers typically recommend booking in for interim car servicing every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. Annual servicing: every year or 12,000 miles. Major servicing: every 2 years. All forms of car servicing involve a trained technician inspecting elements and components including the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and electrical systems. How comprehensive the list of items checked and tested is, depends on the type of servicing you’ve opted for.
But what do the various forms of car servicing have in common? Well, they begin with a visual inspection of the car's exterior and interior, followed by a check of the engine oil and other fluids, such as brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant. The technician will also inspect the brakes, including pads, discs, and callipers, and test the suspension and steering systems for any issues.
Other components that may be checked or replaced during a car service include the air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs. The technician will also perform a diagnostic check using specialized equipment to identify any underlying problems with the car's electronic systems; keep in mind we also offer a dedicated diagnostics service to Bordon, Farnham, Liphook, Haslemere and Petersfield motorists who may need us to get to the bottom of specific symptoms.
