What’s included in a full mechanical service?
A full mechanical service is a comprehensive check of a vehicle’s essential systems to ensure safety, reliability and performance. It typically includes changing the engine oil and filter, inspecting and topping up fluids such as coolant, brake and power steering fluid, and checking belts, hoses and filters for wear. Mechanics also test brakes, suspension and steering components, examine tyres and lights, and run diagnostic scans to detect potential faults early. Regular mechanical servicing helps prevent breakdowns, improves fuel efficiency and extends the life of the engine and related components.
How often should a car be serviced?
Most vehicles benefit from a service every six months or 10,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, the ideal interval depends on the car’s make, model, age and driving conditions. For example, diesel vehicles and those used for towing or frequent short trips may require more frequent servicing due to increased strain on the engine. Following the manufacturer’s logbook schedule ensures the warranty remains valid and that the vehicle receives maintenance tailored to its design. Sticking to regular service intervals helps avoid costly repairs and keeps the vehicle performing safely and efficiently.
What are the signs my car needs mechanical repairs?
Common warning signs include unusual noises such as knocking, squealing or grinding, changes in engine performance, difficulty starting, or dashboard warning lights that stay illuminated. Other indicators can include vibrations, fluid leaks, reduced fuel efficiency or uneven tyre wear. Drivers should also watch for a spongy brake pedal, harsh gear changes or a rough idle. These issues often point to developing problems within the engine, brakes, transmission or suspension. Having a qualified mechanic inspect the vehicle as soon as symptoms appear helps prevent further damage and ensures continued safety on the road.
