FAQs

It’s recommended to check your tyres at least once a month for pressure, tread depth, and signs of wear or damage. Additionally, have your tyres rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even wear. Regular tyre maintenance is crucial for several reasons:

• Safety: Ensures optimal handling and braking performance, reducing the risk of accidents.
• Fuel Efficiency: Properly inflated and maintained tyres improve fuel efficiency, saving you money on fuel costs.
• Longevity: Regular checks, including rotating and balancing tyres, can extend their lifespan, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.

You should schedule a car service at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, the frequency may vary depending on your driving habits, vehicle age, and manufacturer recommendations. Here are some signs that your vehicle needs a service:

• Warning Lights: Illuminated dashboard warning lights indicate that your car needs immediate attention.
• Unusual Noises: Squealing brakes, rattling, or knocking noises can be signs of underlying issues.
• Poor Performance: Decreased fuel efficiency, sluggish acceleration, or difficulty starting can indicate the need for a service.
• Visible Leaks: Any fluid leaks under your vehicle should be inspected promptly.
• Vibrations or Pulling: Unusual vibrations or the car pulling to one side can indicate issues with tyres or alignment.
