Servicing in
garages carry out the following routine checks:
You can choose from three servicing types for your car: interim services for between annual full services, or major 2 year services. Component checks are made when a car service takes place in addition to carrying out specific vehicle system inspections like braking, suspension and exhausts.
Visibility is important to ensure drivers have a clear view of the road, so wipers at the front and rear of the car must function effectively and wiper blades should leave windows smear free. Headlamps, main beam, indicators and rear lights must also function properly, which is especially important when night driving or in poor weather.
Wind shield glass also needs to be in good repair, without marks from wiper blades or have chips and scratches that could interfere with the driver's view.
The benefits of regular vehicle servicing
Although cars have to be MOTed by law, which ensures that vehicle systems and parts are in good order and your Lotus is road safe, to keep your vehicle running smoothly for many years, annual servicing is required.
In a service, parts that need replacing are checked, like lubricant in the engine and oil filters, because not replacing old, worn components can cause damage and leave it running less efficiently.
Oil changes, for example, should take place annually, and if travelling more than 6000 miles in a year, to keep your engine healthy, changing the oil more often is advisable.
So if you want to reduce the likelihood of future vehicle repair bills, contact your local garage and arrange an annual service.
Experienced garages can maintain your vehicle.
Steering, suspension and drive servicing checks in
Three other important aspects of vehicles are steering systems, drive controls and suspension. These systems are all involved in the control of Saab, MG and Porsche vehicles. Fluid levels in power steering and clutches will be monitored by mechanics and in cases where reservoirs don't have enough fluid, garages will top them up.
Larger vehicle components and parts are also inspected so worn parts can be replaced, and to ensure they are strong and secure. Components usually checked include drive and prop shafts, gaitors and axles. In addition, wheel bearings and shock absorbers are looked over to assess their condition and check if the amount of play is acceptable.

Servicing brakes on Smart vehicles in
A large number of aspects of brake systems are covered during a service in to make sure brake components are in good working order and maintains vehicle safety.
Because of the importance of brake performance being maintained, fluid levels, pads and brake shoes require checking and liquids topped up, whilst defective parts are replaced.
Freezing conditions and salt contained in grit cause damage to surfaces by corroding brakes which in turn can contribute to reduced brake performance.
Servo inspections on brakes will also be carried out, and mechanics should also check discs and brake drums to track down pitting, scoring, corrosion and damage.
Servicing checks on Lexus engines in
One of the most essential car parts is the vehicle engine, and if they fail, it usually means buying a new car.
That is why it is recommended that regular vehicle servicing is carried out.
A number of checks are made of engine parts and lubricants, including engine oil draining and carrying out oil and filter replacements.
The quality of oil is reduced as it suffers degradation the longer it is used for, and engine damage can result from small metal pieces travelling round the pipes.
Air filters and spark plugs are usually replaced too.
Amounts of anti-freeze and coolant are checked, and where necessary, additional liquid is added which reduces the chances of freezing in winter and overheating in summer.
Coolant and antifreeze checking is included in winter vehicle checks that many garages in offer.
