    Avoid Playing Doctor With Your Car – Take Her to the Pros!

    If you ever heard your dad advise ‘Never pay someone to do something you can do yourself’ you are probably all about DIY car maintenance. Just stop for a second, though. What if, on this rare occasion, our dads were wrong? Sure, the do-it-yourself approach works with a lot of things. But, anything that’s important or serious needs to get the right kind of attention. As such, these are some of the main reasons why you need to a stop playing doctor with your car, and take it to the experts!

    You Don’t Know as Much as You Think

    You might be good, but you’re not that good. Ensure, you’ve read all the manuals, spent time on the online forums, and even done an oil change by oil extractor machine or two. But, just because you once sold a telly to your friend for profit doesn’t mean you’re ready for a sales job. You get the point. There’s only so much you have the ability to do as someone who isn’t a mechanic. It’s best to take the car to people who know it inside out. These guys have worked on many different types of car for years, and they know every trick in the book. Your car is definitely going to be much safer with them than with you.

    Cars Are Temperamental

    Like all machines, cars are temperamental. They can react differently in different situations, and it’s hard to know what works. Just because you tried something that worked well last time, it doesn’t mean that will be the case again. Also, the fact of the matter is that car problems can strike at any time. It’s estimated that at any one time around 85% of cars could do with some repair or maintenance. These wonderful machines have got to be treated well. Companies like First Landing Autocare exist to offer a dealer-free alternative to this maintenance. You need to make sure your car is dealt with by professionals to ensure she’s always running well.

    There Might be a Better Way

    Think about it; there might be a better way. In fact, the chances are there is going to be a better way of doing it. Mechanics are familiar with all sorts of vehicles and parts, so you need to trust in the way they operate. The odds are that you should leave your car repairs to other people because there will be a better way of doing it. Do you want to spend weeks slaving over repairs? Or would you rather take the car to a garage and have it done in two days? Exactly

    You Could End Up Paying More

    One of the key reasons your car needs expert attention is the cost involved. Yes, you might be able to do some, or even most, of the work yourself. And you don’t have to fork out for someone else to do it. But, this could result in you having to actually pay more in the long run. In fact, studies show by skipping proper maintenance for the car you could be facing a bill of up to $8,000 in the future! That’s why you need to make sure you get your car to those in the know as soon as you can.

    It might be tempting to try to do your own work on your car. But, you need to try to curb the impulse and get her to the service garage. You may balk at the thought and cost, but it’s definitely the right decision to make.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
