Having a car is like having another member of the family at times! Servicing and general maintenance of a car is just as important as the type of food (fuel) it gets each week. If not done correctly and frequently enough, it can cause great inconvenience to us and our hip pockets. So why is servicing and general maintenance of our cars important?
