Common Automotive Questions Answered

We often get asked about routine maintenance and common car issues. Here are a few frequently asked questions:

Q1: How often should I get my car serviced?

A: The frequency of servicing depends on your vehicle's make, model, and usage. Generally, a minor service is recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles, and a major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles. Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations.

Q2: What are the signs that my brakes need attention?

A: Signs include a squealing or grinding noise when braking, a spongy brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard. It's crucial to have your brakes inspected immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.

Q3: How do I know if my tyres need replacing?

A: Tyres need replacing when the tread depth falls below the legal limit of 1.6mm. Other indicators include visible cracks or bulges in the tyre sidewall, uneven wear patterns, or if the tyre feels less responsive or grip is reduced.

Q4: What should I do if my car breaks down?

A: If your car breaks down, prioritise safety. Pull over to a safe location if possible, turn on your hazard lights, and exit the vehicle if it is safe to do so, preferably on the side away from traffic. Call for roadside assistance or your preferred garage, like AJD Auto Repairs, for help.

Q5: Is my motorhome subject to MOT testing?

A: Yes, motorhomes generally require an MOT test annually once they reach three years of age, similar to cars. The specific requirements can depend on the vehicle's classification and weight.

Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle

To keep your vehicle in optimal condition between services, consider these simple yet effective maintenance tips:

• Check Tyre Pressures Regularly: Incorrect tyre pressure affects fuel economy, handling, and tyre wear. Check them at least once a month when the tyres are cold.
• Monitor Fluid Levels: Regularly check engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windscreen washer fluid levels. Top them up as needed, using the correct types of fluids.
• Inspect Wipers and Lights: Ensure your windscreen wipers are effective and your lights (headlights, taillights, indicators) are all working correctly for visibility and safety.
• Listen for Unusual Noises: Pay attention to any new or strange sounds your car makes, such as knocking, grinding, or squealing, as these can indicate underlying issues.
• Keep it Clean: Regular washing and cleaning not only makes your car look good but also helps protect the paintwork and prevent corrosion.
