My car only covers about 3.000 miles a year, how often should it be serviced?
Whitwell's master technician Tony Carver answers:
Your handbook should tell you the frequency, but the general rule for low mileage cars service is every 12 months.

What is tyre pressure?
Whitwell's master technician Tony Carver answers:
Check your tyre pressure regularly - at least once a month. If you don't have tyre pressure gauge then a member of our team at Whitwell will be happy to do it for you.. You can find recommended tyre pressure in your owner's manual or on the tyre pressure placard. The maximum pressure listed on tyres is NOT the proper pressure! Refer to the owner's manual.
There is a safe limit of the tread wear. If the tire is worn below this limit it's unsafe to drive.
Improper alignment causes increased tyre and suspension components wear and poor handling. In worst case improper alignment may throw your car into a skid, especially on a wet road. If a car pulls aside, wanders or feels unstable on the road, have the alignment checked by us.
