Regularly servicing your vehicle not only ensures its safety but also helps prevent unnecessary additional repairs, keeping it in the best possible condition. Routine oil and filter changes are essential, as the oil lubricates internal components, and the filters collect particles that contaminate the oil during use. By regularly servicing your vehicle, you can avoid costly mechanical repairs in the future and maintain optimal performance.

The function of an Air filter is to help stop contaminants from getting into the engine, helping to extend its life. It also lets the engine breathe more easily, which can help enhance performance and efficiency.

The purpose of a pollen filter is to stop contaminants getting into your interior via its heating and ventilation system. The pollen filter prevents dust, dirt, soot and pollen entering your vehicle interior. As well as having the added benefit of protecting against pollution gases, exhaust fumes and bad odour.
