The frequency of car servicing depends primarily on the terrain and conditions in which you drive. To help you maintain your vehicle’s peak performance, we have outlined the ideal service intervals based on specific driving circumstances.
1. Car Servicing in the City
If you drive in heavy city traffic—involving frequent braking and acceleration—or navigate dusty, rough roads, the engine and filters tend to get dirty quickly. In such cases, servicing should be carried out every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers.
At Automen India, our city-specific maintenance typically involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning or replacing the air filter, and conducting a rigorous brake and safety inspection. This proactive approach ensures your car’s performance remains consistent and helps prevent major, expensive repairs down the road.
2. Car Service for Highway Driving
If your car is primarily driven on highways or in areas with light traffic, the engine is subjected to less strain. In these scenarios, servicing should be carried out every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers.
While many manufacturers suggest waiting until 15,000 km, the experts at Automen India recommend slightly earlier intervals to account for local road conditions and environmental factors. During this service, we meticulously inspect and replace oil, filters, brakes, suspension components, and vital fluids like coolant and brake fluid to ensure your long-distance journeys remain safe and smooth.
3. Servicing for Rarely Used Vehicles
Even if your car is not used frequently, it should undergo servicing once a year. Engine oil naturally deteriorates over time, batteries can discharge, and rubber components like pipes and belts can become brittle. An annual check-up with Automen India ensures that these elements are inspected and refreshed, reducing the risk of sudden mechanical failure when you finally hit the road.
