The benefits of regular servicing:
Reduced cost of repairs over the vehicle's life.
Reduced unforeseen and possible breakdown risks.
Reduced vehicle time off the road.
Less inconvenience and less unforeseen expense.
Less likelihood of accidents.
The possibility of greater fuel economy.
The possibility of increased product life e.g. tyres last longer, brakes discs do not become scored and in need of replacement.
A small investment in routine servicing, plus a good inspection programme results in a good return. A comprehensive service history increases the resale value of the vehicle.
Malen technicians specialise in cambelt replacement - this is a vital requirement on most vehicles at manufacturer recommended mileages. If the cambelt is not replaced at the set intervals it could break which often causes expensive damage to the engine.
Brakes
Regular brake checks are of great importance for the safety of the vehicle. As part of routine servicing at Malen the braking components are thoroughly checked by fully skilled and experienced technicians.
Steering
Often overlooked, regular steering inspections can identify faults which can cause uneven tyre wear and handling problems.
Suspension
Shock absorbers are essential to control the bounce on the vehicle and to ensure the tyres are kept firmly on the road. Damaged and worn shock absorbers can reduce the braking efficiency, cause poor cornering and increase tyre wear. Malens trained technicians will fully check suspension components as part of their routine servicing.
Exhausts
A faulty exhaust will mean the vehicle fails the MOT test. An unchecked exhaust may also result in fumes entering the car, which can lead to headaches, sickness and drowsiness.
