Service

It's a chore not a pleasure!

Let's face it; getting your vehicle serviced isn't everyone's idea of a good time, but it's important to understand why getting your vehicle serviced is good for you, your vehicle and your safety.

Why is a service good for you?

No one likes the idea of a breakdown, it's stressful and it causes hassle - but a high percentage of breakdowns could be avoided by regular checks and servicing.

How can a service save me money in the long run?

The cornerstone of any engine service is an oil and oil filter change, and by doing so at the manufacturer's recommended service intervals (or sooner) you will prolong the life of your vehicle's engine.

This is because the lubricating properties of engine oil "breakdown" as they protect the engine. Changing the oil filter is equally as important since an oil filter traps any particulates within the oil, picked up from the engine's internals and protects the engine from further damage. As the oil filter captures more and more particulates it begins to clog up. As a result, the amount of oil your vehicle's oil pump can push through the oil filter can be reduced, potentially causing engine damage.

How can a service reduce the risk of a breakdown?

The items that are checked and recommended for replacement at the various service intervals, in addition to oil and oil filter, is determined by the manufacturer, relying on their knowledge and experience of impending failure and wear of certain components. But rest assured, at Vauxhall MasterFit Retailers, safety related items, such as tyres and brakes, are always checked regardless of what service your vehicle is booked in for.

Protecting your investment

More often than not, if your vehicle has a full service history, particularly one from a franchise garage, then it is likely to be worth more if you decide to trade it in or sell it, than a vehicle with an incomplete service history.
