There is nothing more frustrating than to encounter car trouble or have your car break down in some remote area, however, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can avoid such incidents if you get your car inspected at regular intervals at Central Avenue Automotive. When you purchase a new or used car you have made a costly investment that requires proper maintenance to protect your asset and avoid expensive breakdowns and repairs.  Regular car maintenance is also essential to get the best performance from your car and increase the lifespan of your car. Car maintenance can range from basic car inspection and maintenance to complete overhaul.
However, many car owners believe that since they have bought their car in good condition, it does not require maintenance. For those of you that carry this mindset please think over, as even the best-kept cars in greatest condition will need to be serviced on regular basis to keep them running smoothly and fuel efficiently. It is a false economy to avoid regular car servicing since expected wear and tear requiring minor maintenance can fast become a costly major repair or replacement.   
The service scheduled for your car depends on the manufacturer and on the car mileage and age. Here are few of the benefits of getting your car serviced at regular intervals.

• Safety

Many accidents occur every year as a consequence of owner’s avoiding car maintenance. While many of us choose to blame poor driving more often than not, many of these accidents occur due to faulty or worn out brake system, uneven or limited tyre treads, worn out wiper blades and exhaust build ups. Taking your car to the service station for servicing will ensure that essential checks are carried out to ensure that these vital parts don’t let you down when you need them the most. Having your car regularly serviced provides peace of mind and that the car is in roadworthy condition.
The roadworthiness test involves checking the car’s documentation and identification, electrical systems, fittings and safety equipment such as mirrors and safety belts, brakes, suspensions, engine, steering, exhaust system, transmission and car dimensions. It is easy to keep your car roadworthy in Hoppers Crossing by taking it to an authorised service centre in the area.  

• Lower Cost of Ownership

You must be thinking that how would spending more on maintenance lower the cost of ownership? But it’s true, by getting your car serviced regularly can help to identify the issues early on that could later become expensive to rectify. For example, engine oil lubricates and protects moving parts. Without it, your car engine would seize up costing you thousands on repair and replacement. Also, regular servicing can save a lot on fuel, serviced oil and filter make for smoother running engine and a more fuel-efficient car. This all ultimately lowers the cost of ownership.

• Increased Reliability and Performance

Simply put, regular car service will undoubtedly improve the lifespan of your car and you can be sure that your car will return the favour with being more dependable to get you where you need to go. If you pay a little more attention to the vital fluids, oils and various parts you can be sure to reduce the internal wear and tear. Your car is just like your body, the better you treat it, the longer it is likely to last and with more and more people choosing to hold on to their car for longer, regular servicing is crucial.

• High Re-Sale Value

Most consumers of pre-owned cars do not pay attention to the cars service history and invest a great effort in finding a car in great condition and well taken care of. But this shouldn’t be, whenever you are out in the market to buy a pre-owned vehicle it is necessary to check the maintenance records. Regularly getting your car serviced and keeping the records organised can prove that your vehicle hasn’t had any major problems. If you have two identical cars with the same mileage for sale, the car with great service history would hold a higher price than the one with poor service.   
The above-mentioned are few of the benefits you will gain with getting your car regularly serviced.
