    7 Reasons To Keep To Your Car Servicing Schedule

    When hunting for cars, most people look for anything that signifies that the vehicle has FSH or full-service history. It translates into the automobile being a wise buy because it means that it has been looked after. That’s why it’s ironic that very few car owners look forward to that time of the year when their vehicles’ annual service schedule pops up. In fact, one of the areas that get compromised when motorists look to cut corners with their automobiles’ running costs is the scheduled servicing. Some car owners prefer doing the maintenance themselves. Worse is that others don’t care if their cars get a service or not.

    The truth is that keeping up to date with your servicing influences the health of your car significantly. That’s why you’ll reap various benefits when you shower your vehicle with tender loving care. You’ll also enjoy a smooth driving experience when you religiously follow regular car service and maintenance.

    Take a closer look at the reasons to keep to your car servicing schedule below.

    1. It’s Vital To Your Safety

    The last thing car owners would want to experience is their automobiles breaking down in the middle of nowhere. Regular servicing ensures that your vehicle won’t let you down during times when you really need it. That’s because it can nip potential car issues before anything becomes sure-fire problems. It’s how automobile service ensures safety. You’ll have peace of mind regarding your wellbeing by reassuring you that your vehicle is at optimum condition.

    1. It Protects The Car Manufacturer’s Warranty

    The second most important reason to keep to your car servicing schedule is maintaining your vehicle’s warranty.

    Having the services carried out on or before the schedule is one way of protecting the manufacturer warranty. Doing it outside of the manufacturer’s guidelines will only invalidate it. If something goes wrong, you’ll shoulder the repair bill if your car isn’t covered anymore.

    1. The Vehicle Will Perform Better

    Along with the increased safety and protected warranty, an automobile also keeps performing at its best when it’s regularly serviced. You’ll get more reliable engine starts, more stable steering, and better tire traction if you don’t slack on maintenance services.

    1. It Prolongs The Engine’s Lifespan

    Cars can be kept in near perfect working condition if they’re regularly serviced. They’re designed to work that way.

    Dirt or dust can potentially cause significant issues when they get into the engine’s oily bits. To prevent that from happening, a vehicle’s oil and filters have to be replaced at regular intervals.

    The engine and gear oil should have a golden brown color. Replace it as soon as possible when it already turns into thick black—that’s the general rule of thumb. Changing the fluids in your car and doing the other servicing requirements will prolong its overall lifespan by improving the engine’s longevity.

    1. It Prevents The Wasting Of Fuel

    The cost of fuel lowers when a vehicle is well taken care of. However, gas mileage might go down a bit if you skip your car servicing schedule. You’ll end up wasting your time and money because that would mean having to fill up your vehicle’s gas tank more often.

    1. It Saves You Money

    Car owners can prevent more costly issues from arising if they take care of their vehicles through regular servicing. Deciding to skip essential car service and maintenance will only result in spending more money down the road. It’s best to pay a little now for keeping your vehicle healthy than suffer later.

    1. It Protects Your Car’s Value

    A car is any person’s second most expensive investment, next to a house. Keeping the vehicle in tip-top condition is a way for you to protect the money you’ve invested as much as possible. Following the servicing schedule religiously can help you achieve it. In fact, a complete service history will help you sell your vehicle for a higher price. As already mentioned, it means that your automobile has been well looked after throughout its lifespan.

    Note that not having your car serviced regularly also means that you’ll receive a lower payout from the insurance company in case of an accident. Simply saying, a vehicle that hasn’t been serviced and maintained well has less value in the eyes of others.

    Final Thoughts

    One of the crucial things a car owner can do for their vehicle is routine servicing and maintenance. An automobile that’s regularly serviced and maintained runs more efficiently, uses less fuel, lasts longer, and is worth more. It will even have less contribution to pollution.

    On the other hand, a car that doesn’t receive routine maintenance risks the life of the driver and voids the manufacturer’s warranty. It also means more money and time wasted on repairs.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
