Back to: Small car service
In order for your pet to have a long life, you need to maintain it regularly, both externally and internally. A small service is one of the basic maintenance procedures that help preserve the vital parts of your vehicle. Find out below what is included in a small service, how often it needs to be done and what its price is.
What does a small service mean?
A small service is a series of basic checks and replacement of key components. This usually means:
• Changing the oil and filter: Changing the engine oil and filter is one of the central points of a small service. Fresh oil improves engine lubrication, reduces friction and helps maintain performance.
• Brake Check: Inspection of the brake system, including brake discs, pads and fluid, are integral parts of a minor service. This check ensures the proper functioning of the brakes and contributes to driving safety.
• Fluid check: Checking the level of fluids such as brake oil, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid and others are also very important.
• Tire check: Checking the condition of the tires, including pressure, tread depth and inflation are important for lower fuel consumption and road stability.
• Electrical system check: A small service includes checking the basic electrical systems, including the battery, bulbs, wipers and other components that affect on the lighting and functionality of the vehicle.
How often should you do a minor service?
The intervals at which a minor service should be performed vary by manufacturer, vehicle model, oil viscosity and fuel type. Most often, it is a period of 5,000-15,000 km, and with newer vehicles you will see the deadline for the next service on the dashboard. Intensive use of the vehicle, such as frequent short-distance driving or driving in city traffic, requires more frequent minor servicing. While driving in extreme conditions, such as driving in bad weather, rough terrain or towing loads, more frequent maintenance may be required.
What is the price of a small service and what does it depend on?
The price of a small service varies significantly depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Luxury cars or high performance vehicles require more expensive parts and more hours. Then, the prices of small service services may vary depending on the geographical location. Services in urban areas or places with higher labor costs tend to have higher prices. Also, using original parts instead of replacements can increase the cost, but also ensure quality and compliance with the manufacturer's specifications.
