Mechanic on the Fraser Coast

Most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000km or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your driving habits, vehicle age and manufacturer recommendations. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns, improves fuel efficiency and extends the life of your engine. Checking your logbook or asking a trusted mechanic is the best way to know the ideal schedule.

The check engine light can come on for many reasons, from minor issues like a loose fuel cap to serious problems such as engine misfires or sensor failures. It’s important not to ignore it. A mechanic can scan your vehicle’s computer to identify the exact fault and recommend the necessary repair before it becomes more expensive or dangerous.

Skipping maintenance may save time or money in the short term, but it can lead to bigger problems later. Worn parts, low fluids and undetected issues can cause poor performance, breakdowns and costly repairs. Regular servicing keeps your vehicle safe, reliable and efficient, while also protecting your warranty and resale value.
