3 Reasons Why Regular Car Servicing is Important*

There is no denying that running a car is expensive, and that is when the car is working well. When things start to go wrong, it can lead to unexpected expenses that can go into the hundreds or sometimes, even the thousands. This is why regularly having your car checked out by a garage is important so you can ensure everything is working well before it ends up completely broken and needs replaced.

So today I’m sharing three important reasons why you should have your car serviced regularly, especially during winter when the roads are hazardous. Your car service is dependant on your car age and the mileage unlike your MOT which is once a year.

You Can Get Advice on the Best Tyres to Use in the Winter
Driving during the winter can be dangerous for a few reasons. The first being the roads can become icy, second if there is grit down on the road it can cause cars to skid and third, low winter sun can be blinding. Having the correct tyres on during the winter months can help reduce the risk of accidents. During your car servicing you can ask for recommendations and it could be a really good investment if we have a winter as bad as last year. At Ossett Tyre House you can book your service in West Yorkshire online for free or visit their branch to see the great many options for winter tyres that they have for your car.

You Can Have Your Car Battery Checked
It sucks when you head out to your car to find that the battery has gone flat, but it sucks even more if that happens in the middle of winter. It could result in you being stranded, or having to walk in cold conditions to get from a to b. Having a functioning car battery is also important for driving safely. Having your car serviced regularly can ensure this doesn’t happen, but you can also do this by always making sure that your lights are turned off after you get out the car.

It Can Maintain Your Car’s Value
There is a difference between a car that has been looked after and one that appears neglected. If you plan on trading in you car sometime in your future when purchasing a new one, how well you have taken care if it, not just aesthetically, will be taken into consideration. Getting your car serviced is a great way to ensure your car looks as good under the hood as it does on the outside and it will be worth it in the long run if you come away with a better trade in price.

As you can see, ensuring you have your car regularly serviced is important not just for safety reasons, but financially and for when it’s time to say goodbye to your current car. Smaller services regularly can often work out more cost effective than having a huge overhaul once a year, so it’s definitely something to think about.
