We all appreciate how important it is to schedule regular doctor appointments to maintain our own health and wellbeing. This applies in a similar way to our vehicles as well. Each manufacturer, as they release a new car, release a logbook with a service schedule they deem best to maintain the reliability, performance and safety of your car. We will describe each of the three most common service levels in this blog. If in doubt, it is best to be guided by your manufacturer’s logbook to ensure any items that require inspection or replacement are included at your next service.
1.Lube Service
Recommended at every service interval for every car, your engine oil is the lifeblood of your car’s engine. Regular oil and oil filter replacement will assist in maintaining the efficiency of your engine. Jim’s Mobile Mechanics can perform a lube service for you. We will also check your vital fluids, your tyre pressure and tread level and visually inspect the engine bay for any noticeable signs of wear or leaks.
2.Basic/Interim Service
Building on from the Lube Service, Jim’s Mobile Mechanics can tailor a service to suit your car, based on its age and current kilometre reading. We can inspect and replace (where necessary) your air and/or cabin filter, fuel filter, windscreen wiper blades, top-up transmission fluid and coolant. We will inspect your lights, battery and charging capabilities, the Brake Function and component wear and advise of any items we recommend that require monitoring and/or replacing. We can even rotate your tires.
3.Full Service
We will refer to your manufacturers’ logbook to ensure your car is given a comprehensive inspection for your peace of mind. All the items as mentioned in the interval service will be covered, with the addition of suspension components, wheel/hub inspections and any other items specified in the manufacturer logbook based on the kilometre reading or age of your vehicle. Any items can be quoted and submitted for your approval prior to the commencement of any work being carried out.
4.Manufacturer Service
This is the most expensive but comprehensive service that a car can get. Basically, every aspect of your car will be checked and all the nitty-gritty will be dealt with. A few of the checks that will be performed include, tyre tread and pressure check, charging system check, battery check, exhaust check, wheel alignment check, windscreen wipers check, light check, suspension check and shock absorbers check.
