What happens to your vehicle if a servicing is skipped ?

ENGINE
Engine oil becomes old , unable to lubricate and protect the vital engine components effectively . Undetected coolant leaks could lead to overheating which can cause engine failure . Air filter can then become clogged which can ultimately affect the efficiency of the engine . Skipping a servicing can result in severe vehicle damage thus affecting the performance of the engine , torque and decreased fuel economy . A regular vehicle servicing allows the detection of faults or problems on the vehicle and gives it a better value .
SUSPENSION
Your vehicle ’ s steering and suspension provide a comfortable and safe ride . Components can become worn over time . If unmaintained , failure can occur . Whilst the vehicle can still be driven , the ride will become bumpy which can cause it to bounce and roll , and as a result , can make it harder to control in an emergency . It is imperative to have the suspension system checked periodically .
BRAKES
Brake pads can wear out causing brake calipers to come into direct contact with the discs . This can cause disc warping and ultimately result in a loss of brake performance . Without a proper maintenance of the braking components , the driver risks brake failure which could lead to an accident , endangering his life , the passengers and passers-by . A regular inspection of the brakes will ensure their system are operating optimally and prevent the owner to face a cascade of costly repairs .
ELECTRONICS
Modern car electronics monitor vital mechanical components via sensors . Issues are logged via your vehicle ’ s onboard computer . Special diagnostic equipment is required to read these issues . By skipping a scheduled service , the driver runs the risk of further damage to these components . As the car ages , electrical connections can come loose , corroded or fatigued . The car may just stop dead without any warning , or worse , some electrical circuit becomes overloaded causing burnout of sensitive electronic parts .
