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?
-
Engine Damage – Worn oil and filters can reduce engine life dramatically
-
Brake Failure – A serious safety hazard, especially in New Zealand’s hilly terrain
-
Unexpected Flat Batteries – One morning, your car just won’t start
-
Uneven Tyres – Causes poor handling, more fuel usage, and tyre blowouts
-
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.
