What does a full car service mean?

The process of inspecting and replacing some crucial components of a vehicle like engine oil and oil filter, lights, tyres, exhaust, suspension, steering components etc is known as full car service Birmingham. All of these components are serviced to ensure the utmost safety and comfort on the road. Generally, auto-garages take up to four hours to service a vehicle with normal working conditions. However, this time may vary depending on the car's condition.

Also, in case a vehicle needs to replaced because of an accident, insurance companies use the service record to determine the pre-accident value of the car.

Advantages of getting a full car service

Increased performance: Servicing ensures proper flow, and coordination of engine and suspension with the wheels. This ensures a smoother driving experience and enhanced performance.

Enhanced car life: Regular car servicing is important to maintain the health of the vehicle and improve its overall life as well.

Improved safety: A serviced car is less likely to incur any problems like imbalance in wheels, engine failure or loss of control. Therefore, one must service his/her vehicle to improve his/her safety.

Increased resale value: A properly serviced car with a regular service record helps to increase the resale value of the vehicle.

Risks of driving an unserviced car

Increased fuel consumption and carbon emissions
