How You Should Prepare Your Vehicle for Your Scheduled Service
Do you have an appointment scheduled with an auto service? If so, there are a few steps that you can take to prepare your vehicle. This will help make your mechanic’s job easier.
Clear out the Glovebox
Your mechanic may need to go into your glove box at some point, either to retrieve your service maintenance book or to check the cabin filter, which more often than not is only accessible through your glove box. You can help them by leaving your maintenance book on the passenger seat, in addition to keeping your glove box clean and tidy to give them easy access to check the cabin filter.
Find Your Lock Nut
Another issue mechanics come across is finding your lock nut. This is the nut that allows mechanics to remove your wheels in order to check on the brakes. Leaving the lock nut on your passenger seat is the best thing you can do for your mechanic.
Sufficient Fuel
A big part of your service will be to take your car for a test drive to see if there are any concerns. However, some mechanics will also test drive your vehicle at the end of the job to ensure everything is running smoothly before giving it back to you. So make sure there is sufficient fuel to do this.
Access to Your Spare Tire
If you want your mechanic to check on your spare tire, then they will need to have access to your spare compartment, which is typically found in the boot. By clearing out clutter or bulky items, you will allow your mechanic to have easier access to check your spare is ready to be used in emergencies. By going through these simple, but important steps, you will make your mechanics job a lot easier.
