The Importance of Regular Vehicle Maintenance – Save Money & Stay Safe!

Keeping your vehicle in top condition isn’t just about passing your MOT—it’s about ensuring safety, performance, and long-term cost savings. Whether you drive a car, van, motorhome, or horsebox, regular servicing and maintenance can prevent costly repairs, improve efficiency, and even increase the lifespan of your vehicle.

At Thurton Auto Centre, we offer a full range of services, from routine maintenance to complex repairs, ensuring your vehicle stays in peak condition.


Why Regular Servicing is Essential

Many drivers only visit a garage when something goes wrong, but regular servicing offers major benefits:

Avoid Costly Repairs – Small issues can quickly become expensive if ignored. Servicing catches problems early, preventing major breakdowns.
Improve Fuel Efficiency – A well-maintained engine, clean filters, and correct tyre pressure reduce fuel consumption, saving you money at the pump.
Enhance Safety – Worn brakes, low fluid levels, and ageing tyres increase the risk of accidents. Regular servicing ensures your vehicle is roadworthy.
Extend Vehicle Lifespan – A properly maintained vehicle lasts longer, reducing the need for premature replacements.
Protect Resale Value – A full-service history makes your vehicle more attractive to buyers and can significantly increase its resale value.

How Regular Servicing Saves You Money

💰 Fuel Savings – A properly tuned engine can improve fuel efficiency by up to 10-15%, reducing fuel costs over time.
💰 Avoiding Breakdowns – Unexpected repairs can be up to 10x more expensive than a routine service. Catching issues early prevents hefty bills.
💰 Preserving Manufacturer Warranty – Many warranties require regular servicing—skipping maintenance can void your coverage and leave you paying out of pocket.
