How often should you check your car?

Regular checks keep your car safe and reliable. Inspect tyre pressure and tread every two weeks, and check engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels at least once a month. Lights, wipers, and battery health should be reviewed monthly too. Before any long trip, do a quick check of tyres, fluids, and brakes. Follow your manufacturer’s service schedule for major inspections, usually every 10,000 to 15,000 km or once a year. Listen for unusual noises and watch for dashboard warning lights in between. Consistent maintenance prevents breakdowns. For professional inspections and roadside support, contact Crossroads Helpline.
