How Often Should You Really Service Your Car?

Most drivers wait until something goes wrong to visit a mechanic — but by then, the damage is usually more expensive. At LKA Auto, we believe in helping you prevent issues before they start. Servicing your car on time keeps it safe, efficient, and dependable.

Why Regular Servicing Is Important ?

Think of car servicing like a health check-up. Even if your car seems fine, small problems could be developing under the hood. Over time, oil thickens, filters clog, and brake pads wear down. These changes affect your fuel efficiency, safety, and overall performance.

Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to

  • Overheating or engine failure

  • Brake performance issues

  • Reduced fuel mileage

  • Major, expensive repairs later
