Booking In Advance Is Always A Good Idea

Especially during holiday periods like Easter

Easter is fast approaching, and whether you're planning an exciting getaway or simply enjoying a staycation in Forrestfield, it's essential to ensure your car is in top-notch condition. At Forrestfield Mechanical we typically book out well in advance and at Easter time bookings increase, it seems everyone suddenly remembers car service at the last minute.

Nothing puts a damper on holiday spirits like unexpected car troubles and finding an open place for car service once Easter arrives can be a nightmare...

So, what can you do to make sure your vehicle is ready for the open road or a smooth drive around town...

The answer lies in regular car servicing
First things first, booking your vehicle in for a service well before Easter is a smart move. As the holiday weekend nears, workshops across the country see an influx of last-minute service requests. To avoid the stress and hassle of the traditional Easter rush, get ahead of the crowd and secure your booking at Forrestfield Mechanical, your trusted local mechanic in Forrestfield.

Regular car servicing is not just a precautionary measure
It's a proactive approach to car maintenance that can save you both time and money in the long run. During a standard service, several critical tasks are undertaken to ensure your vehicle remains safe and reliable. For starters, a thorough check of the engine is conducted. This includes inspecting the oil levels, filters, and spark plugs. Regularly changing these components ensures your engine runs smoothly and efficiently, reducing the risk of breakdowns.

Additionally, the brakes are examined closely. This is crucial for safety, especially if you're heading out on a long road trip. Properly functioning brakes are essential for your peace of mind, and during a service, mechanics will check for wear and tear, ensuring they are in optimal condition.

Another critical aspect of regular servicing is tyre inspection
Driving with worn-out or improperly inflated tyres is not only dangerous but also less fuel-efficient. During a service, the tyres are checked for correct pressure, alignment, and tread depth. This ensures better handling and improved fuel economy, both of which are vital for a comfortable and cost-effective drive.

We don’t stock tyres ourselves but can arrange to have them fitted to your vehicle provided we are carrying out other services on your car at the time.

The suspension system also gets attention during regular servicing. It’s vital for providing a smooth and controlled ride. Ensuring that your suspension is in good condition can significantly enhance your vehicle's performance and your overall driving experience and we will certainly let you know if anything is amiss.

Let’s not forget the importance of checking the battery, lights, and wipers. A weak battery can leave you stranded, and faulty lights or wipers can compromise your safety, especially when driving in inclement weather or at night. Ensuring these components are in good working order can prevent many headaches down the road.
