MOT Testing & Car Servicing in Chelmsford | The Garage Group Essex
While some issues that motorists have to deal with are unavoidable – e.g issues caused due to the mistakes of other drivers, or the sudden and unforeseeable failure of important components like clutches and brakes – there are other mistakes that Chelmsford motorists can be totally avoided. Below, The Garage Group Essex, the area’s favoured choice for car servicing, MOT testing and plug-in diagnostics run over some of these mistakes to help you keep the cost of operating your vehicle to a minimum.
Driving Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring Warning Lights – Modern dashboards are filled up with all sorts of indicators which can quickly tell you what might be ailing your vehicle: even if you’re yet to notice any actual symptoms yourself. Delaying visiting a mechanic – like ours near Chelmsford – can mean that minor, developing problems worsen and lead to serious damage that requires repair; it can also make for MOT testing failure. So visit us if your vehicle’s car servicing light, or any other warning lights are illuminated e.g lights designating brakes / clutches. Plug-in diagnostics, if required, will promptly inform us of what’s going on under the hood.
- Aggressive Driving – Sudden speeding up and application of brakes, and reckless use of clutches, can cause a totally avoidable accumulation of wear and tear, not to mention the fact that it’s a dangerous way to drive that increases the likelihood of suffering an accident while driving in and around Chelmsford.
- Neglecting Car Servicing & MOT Testing – There’s good reason why car servicing is required by manufacturers to keep warranties in-tact. They’re a vital opportunity for trained mechanics to inspect, test and maintain your vehicle. Skipping out on regular car servicing will mean reduced mileage, vehicle lifespan and road safety, and an increased chance of both breakdown and requiring vehicle repairs. This means it represents fantastic value for money for Chelmsford motorists, especially when compared with the cost of repairs to components like brakes and clutches. MOT testing is less likely to be neglected, due to it being legally required, but some motorists still choose to. It’s an important means of testing road safety and road worthiness – so see it as a positive and not a chore.
