Regular servicing is essential to keep the car in good condition. Many times if there is no time to take the car to the service center, the company arranges pick up and drop. In that case, everything should be checked when the car returns home. Let's know what things need to be looked after after car service.
1. The first thing that should be checked after bringing the car from the service center is whether there are any missing items. The car may have small scratches, dents. For which inspect the paint of the car well. Also check if the items in the car are missing. Check the cabin.
2. After that be sure to verify the invoice. Check carefully whether the amount claimed by the service center to be charged is correct. Report any additional charges to the service center. Many services are free, check to see if they charge.
3. Now inspect the vehicle's fluids and filters. Verify that necessary fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid have been topped up or replaced. Can check oil level using dipstick to confirm replacement. Making sure the spark plugs and fuel filter are checked is also important in maintaining your vehicle.
4. Be sure to check the pedals, brakes and steering. For this you can take your car for a short drive. Check that the brakes are working, that the steering is smooth and vibration-free. The paddles should not be too spongy or tight after servicing.
5. Check the tire pressure when these are done. Service centers sometimes neglect to inflate tires properly. If your tires are rotated during service, make sure they are positioned according to the recommended rotation pattern.
Also, be sure to inspect the car battery for clean terminals. If the battery is being serviced, it should be ensured that it has sufficient charge and electrolyte level.
