Understanding Car Servicing

More Than Just an Oil Change: The Science of Vehicle Longevity

Car servicing is the scheduled maintenance program that keeps your vehicle operating safely, efficiently, and reliably. Think of it as your car's equivalent of a regular health check-up. It's a systematic process designed to:

• Prevent Costly Breakdowns: Identify and resolve minor issues before they escalate into major, expensive repairs.

• Ensure Optimal Safety: Verify that critical systems like brakes, steering, and tyres are in perfect working order.

The Three Pillars of a Professional Service

A proper service at Premier Tyres is built on three core pillars:

1. Inspection & Diagnosis

A visual and computer-based check of up to 50+ key components to assess their condition.

2. Parts Replacement

Swapping consumable items like oil, filters, and spark plugs according to the manufacturer's schedule.

3. Adjustment & Correction

Fine-tuning systems and addressing any faults found during the inspection.

Service Intervals: Time vs. Mileage

Many drivers ask, "Which matters more?" The answer is both.

When to Follow Mileage

Follow Mileage Intervals if you are a high-mileage driver (e.g., motorway commuters).

When to Follow Time

Follow Time Intervals if you primarily do short trips or drive infrequently.

The Digital Service Revolution

Modern servicing is no longer just about spanners and oil. With advanced onboard computers, a key part of our service includes:

• Fault Code Analysis: Reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

• Live Data Monitoring: Checking sensor data in real-time to spot irregularities.
