It is essential to keep your vehicle in good condition as this could be reflected in lower gas consumption and could save you some money.
If you have a vehicle like slide cars e.g., slide cars SeriThai (รถสไลด์ เสรีไทย which is the term in Thai), you will know that it is essential to provide it with the necessary services on time to keep it in good condition and avoid extra expenses for extra repairs. In addition, for optimal performance, gasoline, oil, and antifreeze, it is necessary to give it maintenance. Like any machine, vehicles need to be constantly checked. Generally, the major tuning of your car should be given every 5,000 kilometers or three months; depending on what happens first, not doing it on time could result in higher expenses since the parts could be damaged.
Usually, a car service includes:
- Checking brake fluid, windshield wipers, radiator, and antifreeze
- Cleaner rubbers
- Air and breathing filters
- Service to exterior lights
- Oil for hydraulic steering, transmission or transaxle, and differential
- Greasing the chassis
- Hoses and bands
- Battery charge or liquid
- Exterior and interior washing of windows, headlights, and mirrors
- Interior cleaning of the vehicle (vacuum)
- Tire pressure (at least 4 times a month)
In the same way, you can perform a service called “medium adjustment” on your car, which is a simple revision, but it will help you keep it in optimal condition. Now, to maintain your vehicle, you have two options, do it with an agency or in a mechanic workshop that you trust; each one has its pros and cons.

In An Agency
As long as your car has a guarantee, we recommend that you do the services directly at the agency where you bought it so that if it has any fault, they can make it valid, in addition to the fact that the cost may be lower because it is a new vehicle. Another benefit is that if the car faults in part, they can change it for an original one, which guarantees optimal performance. That can be reflected in lower consumption of gasoline, oil, among other things. Now, one of the cons of having your car serviced at an agency when it no longer has a warranty is that it could be a little more expensive than usual, which is why many people turn to their trusted mechanic.
