Car service This is a periodic technical check aimed at ensuring maximum vehicle performance over time. It’s something like full checkto which the vehicle is exposed during control condition of all components most susceptible to wear over time ei kilometers traveled.

As a rule, the service can be provided in mechanicalor, in any case, a professional in this industry, or one. This last path is obviously only possible if you have minimum acquaintance with mechanics, otherwise the only solution to have a car service done is to turn to professionals.

WHY CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE YOURSELF

Provide service”do it yourselfoffers three main benefits. First of all, let’s keep essential: all you need is to buy one special kitcosting about one hundred euros.

This method also allows direct control on each vehicle component to easily identify which ones need to be replaced. In addition, there is an advantage timefor DIY it is possible to provide services when is most convenient for you, even during non-working hours, since you are not tied to the needs of the workshop. We free ourselves from waiting times of professionals, which reduces the inconvenience of making an appointment and waiting for work to be completed. This flexibility can be important for those who have different commitments and cannot risk being without a car for too long.

DISADVANTAGES OF INDEPENDENT SERVICE

Providing a service without the help of a professional also has several flaws. First of all, it’s nice to know that cutting requires special tools, such as oil filter wrenches, jacks for lifting the car, various screwdrivers, pliers for holding various parts of the car in place during maintenance, battery tester and much more. You may find yourself without suitable tools slow down or even stop working.

In addition, lack of experience exposes the vehicle to possible faults and malfunctions, which can be very expensive to fix. Another disadvantage is loss of warrantyif it is still valid: even if it is not mandatory to carry out maintenance work in the manufacturer’s official workshop network, it is always necessary to contact a qualified mechanic, since Do-it-yourself intervention will void the warranty.

WHY CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE IN A WORKSHOP?

THAT advantages which come from cutting made directly in the workshop are different. Firstly, you can rely on professionals who have specific skills in this industry. Again, workshops usually also own specialized equipmentthe purpose of which is to perform work in the best possible way. Finally, by contacting the workshop, you can also begin compilation of a maintenance register so you can have a complete picture of the car’s condition.

DISADVANTAGES OF SERVICE IN THE WORKSHOP

For flawshowever, it is necessary to mention slightly higher costs due to wider guarantees: as we have already said, cutting in the workshop it is carried out by professionals using specialized tools, for this reason it requires slightly higher costs. Another disadvantage is associated with the classics. temporary restrictions should be respected, for example, when opening or closing a seminar. Finally, another disadvantage is distance which usually separates the workshop from your home, which may force you to travel long distances (and it will take a long time) to get to the workshop to perform the service.

In conclusion, if you want to be safe, it is recommended to go to specialized workshopslike Euromaster, which they make available certified specialists and are trained to inspect the components of each vehicle. Thus, you can be sure of precise and efficient control and travel in complete safety.
