DIY Vehicle Maintenance

Simple maintenance can reduce breakdown risk, but only when the work is within your skills and the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

Good owner checks

Tyre pressure and condition, fluid levels, exterior lights, wiper blades, battery terminals and obvious leaks are useful regular checks. Record dates and kilometres so patterns are easier to spot.

Know when to book a professional

Brakes, steering, suspension, airbags, fuel systems, advanced driver assistance calibration and electric-vehicle high-voltage components need appropriate equipment and expertise.
