How often should I get my car serviced?

Generally, most vehicles should be serviced annually or every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. However, the specific service schedule for your car will be detailed in your owner's manual. High mileage drivers or those with older vehicles may need more frequent servicing.


Signs of Needing a Service:


  • Pay attention to dashboard warning lights
  • Unusual noises or vibrations
  • Changes in handling
  • Decreased fuel efficiency
How do I know if my brakes need replacing?

One of the most common signs that your brakes may need replacing is a high-pitched squealing or screeching noise when you apply the brake pedal. This sound is usually caused by wear indicators built into the brake pads. Other signs include a grinding noise, which often means the brake pads are completely worn down and the metal components are making contact.


You might also notice a longer stopping distance, a spongy or soft brake pedal, or vibrations when braking. Also, if your vehicle pulls to one side while braking or you see a warning light on the dashboard, it’s time to have your brakes inspected by us at Armoured Llama Automotive.


Regular checks help ensure safety and prevent more expensive repairs later.

What steps can I take to maintain my car?

Start by regularly checking and topping up essential fluids like engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid.

Keep your tyres properly inflated and inspect them for wear or damage.


Clean your car inside and out to protect the paintwork and prevent rust. Listen for any unusual noises and pay attention to warning lights on the dashboard.


Make sure your lights, wipers, and horn are functioning properly. Driving gently and avoiding harsh braking or acceleration also reduces wear and tear. These simple steps can help extend the life of your vehicle and keep it in good condition until your next scheduled service.
