Title: How to prevent future break-downs

Service your car regularly

Regular car servicing is essential to keep your vehicle running at its best. Not only does it help you prevent any future break downs, but it also allows you to save money on costly repairs.


At a basic level, a car service will check the condition of your vehicle and identify any potential problems before they become serious.

 

A qualified mechanic will be able to diagnose any issues and suggest the most suitable repair or replacement parts if necessary. They can also advise on any preventative measures that may be necessary to avoid further damage or breakdowns in the future.

 

Regular car servicing is an important part of automotive maintenance and should not be overlooked. Investing in a professional service now can help you save money in the long run, as well as ensuring that your vehicle remains reliable for years to come.

What should you expect when getting a service?

The most common service done to a car is an oil change, which typically involves swapping the old oil out with new and putting in the correct amount of oil. Some people may want to get their car serviced every 3,000 kilometers. Others may want to get their car serviced every 6 months or even yearly. It really depends on how often you drive and how much wear and tear your vehicle has sustained over time.


Here are some of the things that you should expect when getting your car serviced at Dubbo Friends Auto Care:

 

  • An oil change
  • A brake fluid and coolant change
  • The tire pressure checked
  • A wheel rotation
  • Cabin and oil filter change
  • Transmission change
  • Safety check & diagnostic
  • A friendly smile

We'll give you the good oil: Penrite and Fuchs at Dubbo Friends Auto Care

By Marksy.com.au • September 20, 2024
When we say, we’ll give you “the good oil,” we’re talking about the Australian idiom. We decided to use this as our headline because we thought it was a funny play on words; in case you don’t know what that means, we’ve included a citation to an esteemed establishment explaining the Australian term to help our assimilating brothers and sisters.

How do you know it's time for an oil change?

By Written by Marksy.com.au • April 17, 2024
It is difficult to know when it's time for an oil change, but there are some tell-tale signs that you can look out for. One of the most obvious signs is the color of your oil. If the oil in your car changes from a golden brown to black or dark brown, it’s time for an oil change. If you're unsure where to check your oil tank dipstick you can always pop in and see us at Dubbo Friends Auto Care. Another sign is when your engine makes a knocking sound or starts to shake. The sound and vibration from this means that there’s not enough lubrication in the engine, which can be caused by old or dirty motor oil. Leaving it to long can cause serious issues to your motor. The oil change is a necessary maintenance measure for your car. It is recommended to get an oil change every 3,000 kms. If you are not sure about how many kilometers you've traveled, it's best to go for an oil change every 3-6 months. The life of your engine depends on how well you take care of it. Regularly changing and checking the engine oil will ensure that the engine will last longer and run smoother. The benefits of changing the engine oil are: - Improved performance - Reduced emissions - Reduced risk of breakdowns - Reduced wear and tear on other parts of the car. If you'd like us to check your oil for you or do a service on your car feel free to call us on (02)58060360 or book in using any of the buttons on this site.
