Car servicing Maidenhead

Whatever the make or model of your car or van, you are recommended to have it serviced at regular intervals as outlined in the service record book. This may just be an interim service or a full service, but both need to be carried out within certain time periods (or number of miles, depending on which is reached first) to not only ensure your vehicle remains safe and road worthy but to also protect the manufacturers warranty.

Car Servicing mainly takes place in a garage and some garages now offer a free collection and delivery service along with a mini-valet when your car has a full service with them.

Car servicing Maidenhead offers a great service and will actually come to your work place or home to carry out the service which makes like much easier for people with a busy lifestyle.  

In between services you can carry out several routine checks yourself such as checking your tyre pressure regularly. This will not only help the longevity of your tyres but will also help with fuel consumption and save you money in the long run.  

Other checks you should regularly carry out is to check the oil level and coolant. Top these up if the levels get low and ensure you purchase the correct oil for your type of car. Regular inspection of all your lights to check your indicators, brake and headlights are all working and positioned at the correct angle.

As summer approaches, we tend to use our car for longer journeys to visit friends, perhaps a visit to the seaside, or a trip abroad? Before embarking on such a journey, it is advisable that you have your car serviced. Therefore, when making the ‘To do’ list for your vacation, add ‘Car service’ to your list and contact Car servicing Bracknell if you live in the Berkshire area.  

If travelling abroad by car, make sure you are aware of all the driving requirements of the countries you are visiting. GB badges are required for the rear of the car, as well as headlight converters and a safety warning triangle. Some countries also require you to travel with reflective jackets, first aid kits and spare bulbs for external lights on board. Naturally, you will have to have your full driving licence and insurance documents with you at all times.
