Regular car services also ensure that any minor issues are addressed before they become big problems. There are two service options offered by a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsservice.co.za\/\"><span>car service centre<\/span><\/a><span>, a minor service, and a major service. It is important to know what is covered by each type of car service so that you can make an informed decision about which one best fits your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What A Minor Service Generally Includes<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Engine Oil Change<\/b><span> \u2013 An engine oil change is a service that is extremely important to the overall health of your car. Engine oil helps to lubricate and cool your vehicle\u2019s engine, and also acts as a protective barrier against wear and tear. When you hear that clicking sound while you\u2019re driving, it\u2019s time to think about an engine oil change!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Oil filter Change<\/b><span> \u2013 During an oil change, the technician will remove the old filter and install a new one. Changing your oil filter at every service appointment ensures that it\u2019s always clean and functioning properly. A dirty or clogged-up oil filter can cause damage to your engine by allowing impurities into its components. This can lead to excessive wear on moving parts, poor performance, and even complete failure of your vehicle\u2019s systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Air Filter Change<\/b><span>&nbsp;\u2013 An air filter is a device that prevents dust and other solid particulates from entering your car engine. If you don\u2019t change your filters regularly, dust will build up inside them, causing your system to work harder than it should and potentially cause damage in the long run.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>52-Point Inspection<\/b><span>&nbsp;\u2013 The following is a list of items that are inspected during a 52-point inspection: Check engine light, Tire pressure, Wiper blades, Brake pads\/discs, Belts and hoses and Battery health<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Reset Service Reminder<\/b><span> \u2013 It\u2019s important to reset the service reminder in your car so that you can keep track of when it\u2019s time to have your vehicle serviced. If you don\u2019t do this, then you may end up with an unexpected and unpleasant surprise: a broken-down vehicle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Wash &amp; Vacuum<\/b><span> \u2013 When you\u2019re getting your car washed by a professional, they don\u2019t just wipe down the surface. They\u2019ll use soaps and shampoos to wash every inch of your vehicle. This is important because it not only keeps your car looking new, but it also removes any road grime or dirt that could have built up from daily driving.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Stamp Service Book<\/b><span> \u2013 The service book is an important legal document because it proves that your vehicle has had all its required inspections done on time and in accordance with local regulations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What A Major Service Generally Includes<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Engine Oil Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Oil Filter Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Air Filter Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Fuel Filter\/ Diesel Filter Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Spark Plugs Change<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Full Vehicle Check Over<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Reset Service Light<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>52-Point Inspection&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Wash &amp; Vacuum<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Stamp Service Book<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Other Services That Might Be Offered By Car Service Centre<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Engine overhauls<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Suspension repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Electrical repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Cooling system repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Cutch kit replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>CV-joint\/driveshaft\/prop shaft repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Shock absorber repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Wheel bearing replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re not sure when to get your car serviced, or whether it\u2019s being done regularly enough, contact RS Service Centre at https:\/\/www.rsservice.co.za\/contato-1 for assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This article was first published at https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/sit-back-and-learn-one-or-two-things-about-servicing-your-car\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=125993\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"808\" height=\"632\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-125993 size-full lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sit-back-and-learn-one-or-two-things-about-servicing-your-car.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-125993 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sit-back-and-learn-one-or-two-things-about-servicing-your-car.jpg\" alt width=\"808\" height=\"632\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> Sit Back And Learn One or Two Things About Servicing Your Car<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Info on Sit Back And Learn One or Two Things About Servicing Your Car here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/sit-back-and-learn-one-or-two-things-about-servicing-your-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/sit-back-and-learn-one-or-two-things-about-servicing-your-car\/<\/a><br \/><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/topclickmediasa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/topclickmediasa<\/a><br \/><strong>Facebook<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topclickmediaSA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topclickmediaSA\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/save-with-myprs-monthly-flat-fee\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">85<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/sit-back-and-learn-one-or-two-things-about-servicing-your-car\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
