    Customer FAQs

    How often should I get my oil changed?
    The frequency of oil changes for a car depends on several factors including the type of oil used, driving conditions, and the manufacturer's recommendations. However, a common rule of thumb is to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (8,000 to 12,000 kilometers) for conventional oil and every 7,500 to 10,000 miles (12,000 to 16,000 kilometers) for synthetic oil.
    However, it's always best to consult your car's owner's manual for specific guidelines tailored to your vehicle. Some newer cars have advanced engine designs and synthetic oils that can extend the time between oil changes. Additionally, if you frequently engage in severe driving conditions such as towing heavy loads, driving in extreme temperatures, or frequently stop-and-go city driving, you may need to change your oil more frequently.
    What is included in a car service?
    A car service, also known as a vehicle service or maintenance service, typically involves a range of inspections, adjustments, and replacements to ensure that your car is running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. The exact contents of a car service can vary depending on the type of service (e.g., basic, intermediate, major), the vehicle's make and model, and the service provider's practices. However, here are some common components included in a typical car service: Oil Changes, Fluid Checks, Filter Replacements, Brake Inspection, Tyre Checks, Suspension Inspections and more!
    What is Air Con Re-gas?
    Air conditioning (AC) re-gas, also known as AC recharge or recharging, is a service performed on a vehicle's air conditioning system to replenish the refrigerant that is used to cool the air inside the cabin. Over time, refrigerant can leak or degrade, resulting in reduced cooling efficiency or complete failure of the AC system. Re-gassing involves adding new refrigerant to the system to restore proper function.
    How do I know when I need new brakes?
    Knowing when you need new brakes requires paying attention to certain signs and symptoms that indicate brake wear or potential issues. Here are some common indicators that it might be time to replace your car brakes: Squealing or grinding noises, Reduced performance, Vibrations, Brake Warning Lights, Unusual Smells and more. Simply get in touch with us for Free and honest advice.
