2) Service by Time (For low usage drivers)

Battery Maintenance. We recommend car owners who do not drive regularly to always start up their cars once a week and let the engine run for at least 5-10 minutes to charge the battery. This is because your car battery can deplete over time, especially during prolonged idleness.

Fluids Maintenance. Leaks may happen anytime, whether in use or not! It is good practice to check underneath your vehicle for any oil or coolant leaks before driving off. Also, any coolant top up should ALWAYS be done after the engine has sufficiently cooled down. 

Tyre Swaps. After not moving your car for a long time, the tyres that are in contact with the ground may wear out faster. Please seek advise from your tyre shop to slow down tyre wear by swapping tyres.

3) Check Manufacturer Recommendations

As always, the manufacturer knows his masterpiece the best. Do check your handbook on the recommended servicing timings and products to use. Some cars like Mercedes do have in build prompts in their systems to alert drivers on the next servicing required.

5 car warning lights that you should know

Hear Strange Noises? Or a Warning Light Popped?

Don't let a small, suspicious squeak fester on any longer! A small issue may lead to a bigger problem when left unchecked, resulting in more costly repairs. Here's what these sounds might mean and why you should get them checked ASAP.

  • Grinding when braking? Worn brake pads could be damaging your rotors.

  • Knocking from the engine? Low oil or serious internal damage may be the culprit.

  • Whining during acceleration? It could be a failing transmission or power steering pump.

  • Squealing when starting? A loose or worn serpentine belt needs attention.

Or how about these warning lights when you encounter them? As a responsible driver, knowing these basic warning lights can be a lifesaver to you and others on the road. Why not test yourself with some of the basic warning lights below?

oil pressure warning

Oil Pressure. Pull over immediately and call a tow truck to your workshop. Low engine oil can cause overheating and irreversible damages to your engine.

car charging system alert

Charging System. This means that either the battery or the Alternator is faulty and needs to be rectified. 

car brake system alert

Brake System. This could mean issues with your brake system such as worn-out brake pads or simply your handbrakes are still engaged.

car engine temperature system alert

Engine Temperature. Pull over immediately and allow engine to cool down. Do not open the coolant cap before engine is sufficiently cooled. Get your car towed as a safer option. It could also be a cooling system problem such as a faulty radiator or water pump.

tyre pressure alert

Tyre Pressure. The last thing you want is to do a Tokyo drift on the roads. This usually indicates low tyre pressure and do rectify it at the nearest gas station to prevent any further wear of your tyres and risking your safety. Another possibility could be a faulty pressure sensor.
