Servicing

Routine car maintenance is just as vital as completing your MOT assessment. Caring for your vehicle's fluids and overall well-being goes beyond simply prolonging its life; it's also about detecting potential problems before they escalate into expensive issues that could leave your car immobilized. Staying committed to regular car servicing not only guarantees a smooth driving experience but also offers a competitive edge when it's time to sell your vehicle. Prospective buyers highly prize well-maintained cars, and possessing a well-documented service history can enable you to command a premium price when selling your car.

Brakes

Over time, your vehicle's braking system undergoes natural wear and tear. Ensuring your safety, as well as the safety of others on the road, necessitates regular brake maintenance, just like any other component of your vehicle. If you've noticed any signs of deteriorating brakes, we strongly encourage you to promptly schedule an appointment with us.

Here are the key warning signs that may indicate the need for brake replacements:

Grinding or Squeaking noises
A pulsating sensation when applying the brakes
Pulling to one side while braking
Spongy or unresponsive braking
Soft pedal or pedal going to the floor
Dashboard warning light
Outdated brake fluid (which should be replaced every two years)

The frequency of brake servicing required can be influenced by your driving style. If you frequently cover long distances on highways or embark on extended journeys, your brake pads may last longer compared to the stop-and-go conditions of city driving. As a general guideline, when your brake pads wear down to a thickness of 3 millimeters, it's time to consider replacement. Additionally, remember to change your brake fluid every two years or adhere to your car manufacturer's recommended schedule.

Exhaust

At Earlswood Tyres, your vehicle's exhaust system can deteriorate over time due to factors like physical damage from bumps and corrosion from high mileage. A damaged exhaust not only burns more fuel but also harms the environment. To ensure its proper function, bring your vehicle to our team for inspection and advice.

Common Reasons for Exhaust Issues:

External corrosion from factors like road conditions
Loose fasteners due to vibrations
Variability in exhaust lifespan based on driving habits

Signs of Exhaust Problems:

Smoke or loud engine noises
Knocking or rattling sounds
Visible damage or low-hanging exhaust
Check engine light and reduced fuel efficiency

Importance of Timely Exhaust Maintenance: Ignoring exhaust issues can lead to engine performance problems, increased fuel costs, and reduced power. Additionally, it can pose health risks due to harmful gas exposure. Prompt inspection and repairs are essential for your safety and passenger well-being. Contact our trained technicians for guidance.
