Car Service Albany

To ensure that your car is well maintained, please take 10 minutes a month to check your instruments and oil. Follow these easy steps and your car will be loving you.

Check Oil

  • When checking the oil level, make sure your car is on level ground. The engine should be warm, however, if you've just been driving, wait a few minutes.
  • Remove the dipstick and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. Reinsert fully and remove after three seconds to check oil level.
  • If it's at the low end of the indicator, top-up your oil using the grade specified in your owner's manual. To ensure engine longevity, we recommend using genuine manufacturer oils. Be careful not to overfill.

Check Coolant

  • First, check the coolant level in the plastic reservoir. It should be between the high and low marks.
  • Next, check the radiator. The engine must be cool before you remove the radiator cap. It it's low, top-up with the same coolant as specified in your owner's manual.
  • If your vehicle is consistantly losing coolant, there may be a leak and you should see your dealer urgently for genuine service.

Check Washer Fluid

  • Fill the washer bottle with the clean water, adding the recommended amount of windscreen washer additive.
  • Don't use household detergents as they can damage paintwork and wiper blades.
  • Consult our service department about which type of washer additive is best for your car.

Check Windscreen Wipers

  • Check the condition of your wiper blades. If they're starting to perish, replace them with genuine blades. Our service department can fit them for you.

Check Lights

  • Test headlights on low and high beam. Check your indicators, plus your reversing, parking, brake and number plate lights.
  • The best way to check the rear stop, reverse and indicator lights is with the help of someone else or by looking back into a reflective surface, like a window.
  • If you find an inoperative light, see our service department immediately.
