WHY YOU NEED A CAR SERVICE LOG BOOK?
It is important for car owners, and businesses who own fleets to ensure that their assets are being properly maintained through routine car log book servicing. By ensuring that you are consistent with your servicing you can retain the value in your vehicle for longer and achieve a higher sale price if you should choose to sell it in the future.
One of the biggest things that impacts a second-hand car buyers’ choice is proof around how well that vehicle has been looked after over the years. Inconsistent service histories or missing a service can often be a red flag for buyers, so make sure that you are keeping on top of your car log book services.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET YOUR NEW CAR SERVICED PROPERLY
It is a common misconception that new cars need less attention paid to servicing than older cars. That is not the case. A new car that is being broken in has a number of components that will need to be inspected and maintained to ensure they are working correctly and providing the driver with optimal performance.
Also, due to the new state of the engine and its components, the first 10,000km of wear and tear can result in heightened levels of friction between components such as the cylinders and pistons, which can cause metal debris to be caught in different parts of your car’s engine. Whilst this debris is normal, it is very important to have the vehicle’s engine cleaned and protected to prevent any damage.
If you are the owner of a new vehicle or fleet of vehicles, you should seek to understand the manufacturers recommended log book servicing schedule, and book your servicing in. At Ultra Mechanics, we specialise in all types of log book servicing as well as preventative maintenance on fleet vehicles of all shapes, models and sizes. By regularly servicing your vehicle, you are helping to:
- Prolong the lifespan of your car, engine and components
- Keep your car running in optimal condition
- Protecting the manufacturer’s warranty of the vehicle
Increasing the possible resale value and desirability of the vehicle should you choose to sell in the future.
