Many drivers believe that if their car feels fine, there’s no need for a service. But here’s the truth:
Servicing your vehicle once a year isn’t just maintenance—it’s protection against future breakdowns and big repair bills.

🔧 What Does a Yearly Service Usually Include?

At MIG CARS, our standard annual service typically covers:

  • Engine oil & filter change

  • Brake system check (pads, fluid)

  • Battery and starting system inspection

  • Tyre check

  • Coolant and antifreeze level check

  • Wiper blades, lights, and air con check

 

⚠️ What Can Happen If You Skip It?

  1. Engine Damage – Worn oil and filters can reduce engine life dramatically

  2. Brake Failure – A serious safety hazard, especially in New Zealand’s hilly terrain

  3. Unexpected Flat Batteries – One morning, your car just won’t start

  4. Uneven Tyres – Causes poor handling, more fuel usage, and tyre blowouts

  5. Minor Issues Become Costly Repairs – Delayed servicing = expensive future problems

 

📄 Insurance & Warranty Risks

If your vehicle is covered under mechanical breakdown insurance, annual servicing is required to keep your coverage valid.

💡 Many claims are rejected simply because the car missed its scheduled service.
