Vehicle Servicing
Your reliable and affordable Whangarei car service specialists
More than an oil and filter change
A regular service is important to make sure your car runs smoothly and is safe to drive. It ensures fuel efficiency, reduces the chances of unexpected breakdowns, and can also help to maximise your car’s lifespan. A regular car service could also potentially increase its value when you decide to sell.
A car service is recommended every 12 months or 10,000km (whichever comes first), but it depends on the type of car you drive and how often you use it. If you have an older car, it may be beneficial to get it serviced more regularly, such as every 5000km. If you notice any issues in between services (such as warning lights coming on or strange noises), get the problem looked at sooner rather than later.
Your vehicle gets the best care at Johnson Automotive in Whangarei with a complete check over, making sure all fluids are topped off, the tyre pressure is in order and the brakes, spark plugs, and air filters are A-OK. If we have any concerns about your vehicle and it needs repairs, we will communicate this to you clearly and give you an estimate of cost.
