It doesn’t matter if you drive a beater or a brand new 2020 car; proper maintenance and service are essential. Most vehicle owners in Tanzania use their vehicles daily but are guilty of neglecting their cars with some TLC. What you probably didn’t know is the difference between a minor repair job. A serious repair worth thousands of shillings is how frequently you service your vehicle.
According to leading automotive experts from Olympic Petroleum Tanzania, it is recommended that you perform a professional maintenance service every 5,000 km, depending on the type of fluid you buy. This service could be as simple as an oil change or involve a total car care service that includes safety checks.
However, an essential part of your vehicle that needs regular service is your engine oil. In case you don’t routinely change your oil, sludge will form and prevent your engine from properly lubricating, which will eventually lead to catastrophic engine damage and expensive repairs.
How Will Regular Service Help My Car?
It’s common to neglect your vehicle when it’s due for service, and you are short of money or time. And more often than not, vehicle owners in Tanzania will run for a couple of hundred kilometers before they bring their vehicle for service at the Petrol Station. So, how will regular car service help my car?
Boosts your Safety
The primary reason car owners take their cars for serving is to ensure that it is safe for driving. Getting a regular oil change is essential for your engine. It also gives your mechanic time to check other vital parts of your vehicle that might need attention.
Maintains Your Car Value
When it’s finally time to let your vehicle go, no one wants it to sell at a considerable loss. You also don’t want your vehicle to look neglected. If you are looking to sell your car soon, regular maintenance could have it looking new, even with higher mileage.
Saves Time and Money
If you’ve owned your vehicle for a long time, you probably appreciate the value of car maintenance. Regular maintenance gives your mechanic ample time to diagnose your vehicle for problems and identify them in good time before they turn into huge issues worth thousands of shillings in repair.
Improves your Fuel Economy
When you take care of your vehicle, it will work to save every drop of fuel, leaving none to waste. However, skipping essential services means your vehicle will be working below its required level. Forcing it to work harder to achieve driver output. In the end, the car will be using more fuel than required. Regularly maintaining your vehicle will have it working at peak performance and efficiency, improving your fuel efficiency.
