What happens if I skip my scheduled car service?
Skipping a scheduled service allows normal wear and tear to go unchecked. Over time this can lead to engine damage, brake wear, overheating, reduced fuel economy and expensive repairs that could have been prevented.
Can delaying a service damage my engine?
Yes. Old engine oil loses its ability to lubricate and protect internal engine components. Continuing to drive with degraded oil can increase engine wear and potentially lead to costly engine repairs.
Does missing a car service affect fuel economy?
Absolutely. Dirty filters, worn spark plugs, old oil and incorrect tyre pressures can all reduce your vehicle's fuel efficiency, meaning you'll spend more on fuel over time.
Can I lose my new car warranty if I skip servicing?
Potentially. Manufacturers require vehicles to be serviced according to the recommended schedule. Missing scheduled maintenance may affect warranty claims if a mechanical issue arises.
Do I have to use the dealership for log book servicing?
No. Qualified independent workshops like Lidcombe Service Station can complete log book servicing according to the manufacturer's specifications while maintaining your new car warranty.
How often should I service my car?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing every 10,000–15,000 kilometres or every 6–12 months, whichever comes first. Always follow your vehicle's log book recommendations.
Is servicing cheaper than repairing a breakdown?
Almost always. Preventative maintenance costs far less than replacing engines, transmissions, cooling system components or brake systems after a failure.
What are the warning signs my car is overdue for a service?
Common signs include:
Even if your vehicle seems normal, it's still important to service it at the manufacturer's recommended intervals.
Will regular servicing increase my car's resale value?
Yes. Buyers are far more likely to pay a premium for a vehicle with a complete service history because it demonstrates the car has been properly maintained throughout its life.
Why choose Lidcombe Service Station for car servicing?
Our family-owned workshop provides professional servicing for all makes and models, manufacturer-approved log book servicing, experienced technicians, quality parts, and the peace of mind of the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.
Many drivers delay their scheduled car service to save money, especially when their vehicle seems to be running perfectly. Unfortunately, putting off routine maintenance often leads to much bigger repair bills, reduced fuel efficiency, and even unexpected breakdowns.
