It's tempting to put off a service to save money, particularly when the car seems to be running fine. But regular maintenance is usually one of the more cost-effective things you can do for a vehicle over its lifetime.
Small problems are cheaper than big ones
Many expensive repairs start out as minor, inexpensive issues. A small oil leak, a worn belt, or a developing brake problem is far cheaper to fix early than to deal with once it's caused damage to other components.
Better fuel efficiency
A well-maintained engine, with clean filters, correct tyre pressures and up-to-date servicing, generally runs more efficiently. Over a year of driving, that can add up to a meaningful saving on fuel.
- Fewer unexpected breakdowns and roadside costs
- Better fuel economy from a well-maintained engine
- Reduced risk of expensive secondary damage
- Fewer MOT fails and re-test fees
- Better resale value from a documented service history
Protecting resale value
A full, consistent service history also makes a real difference if you come to sell the car, since buyers are generally willing to pay more for a vehicle with clear evidence of regular maintenance.
