A Couple of Myths About Car Service Busted for You!

Do you take your car for servicing it every 6 months or so? If yes, then you have to keep doing that. That's not my suggestion; it's said by most of the car owners in the UK. Is it mandatory to follow that? Well, speaking frankly, it is not necessary to do that. However, it depends on the vehicle's condition and the way you use it.

If the vehicle has covered almost 2000 to 3000 miles, then it definitely needs a car service and there are experts in Essex who can do it effectively. But make sure that you have a look at the below given myths and then take your decision:

Replacing All Tyres at Once:

This is followed by several people in UK. When it comes to replacing a single tyre, car owners often tend to change all of them thinking that the remaining ones will be damaged within no time. Well, that's not true. The condition of the tyre depends up on its durability, the distance travelled and most importantly the surfaces (uneven or smooth surfaces) on which the car travels. If you still have any confusion, you can take your car for a MOT test in Essex. That will let your confusions go off your mind.

Changing the Engine Oil for Every 2500 Miles:

Changing the engine oil wouldn't cause any harm to your car but after all it costs you a lot to do it often. There are many who believe that the oil must be changed for every 2500 to 3000 miles of distance travelled by car. In that case, you must refer to the user manual provided by the dealer and if I am not wrong, the number would be around 5000 to 8000 miles to change the oil. Anyway, you can get your engine oil checked by hiring car service in Essex to make sure that there is no need to change the oil if it's all good.

Some other myths are flushing off the coolant when you change the engine oil, will get more money if the fuel is filled in the morning hours, warming up your car for 5 minutes before riding it and many more...

If your car is 3 to 4 years old, then you must take it for MOT test in Essex to make sure that everything in it is working fine and you don't have any myths in your mind! Get your car registered for the test right now!
