In the UAE, many car owners put off servicing their vehicles, which they think will save them money. What we are seeing is that if you delayed car maintenance, we are in for greater expense, more breakdowns, and at times also large-scale vehicle damage. At We Fix Car, we have seen over and over how what may seem like a small issue is, in the end, a large-scale, expensive issue. By not realizing the hidden costs of delayed care of your car, you are also paying for large-scale unnecessary expenses and poor performance of your vehicle on the UAE roads.
Why Car Maintenance Is Not Optional?
Every vehicle requires routine service in order to perform at its peak. Outboard elements, which include oil, brakes, filters, belts, and fluids, will wear out over time. Regular maintenance is what will prevent small issues from turning into big ones. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, high temperatures and sand play a role, in which frequent checkups are a must. By skipping or putting off service, you affect performance, and at the same time, you are reducing your car’s life span. If you ignore your car’s maintenance in Dubai, you are just setting it up for expensive repairs.
The Real Cost of Delayed Car Maintenance
Many of our drivers put off service because of budget issues or time constraints. Also, we see that ignoring routine care ends up being more expensive in the long run. For example, instead of changing out oil filters, which is a basic service, we see many customers delay, which in turn causes engine wear. Also, we have customers who put off brake inspections, which in turn may cause brake failure, both of which end up being much more expensive than a basic service. At We Fix Car, we very often help customers who have had to spend thousands on repair bills that may have been prevented with timely care.
How Delayed Car Maintenance Affects Engine Performance
The engine is the core of your vehicle which in turn depends on clean oil and proper air flow to run efficiently. When services like oil changes or air filter changes are left out the engine begins to internal wear out. This causes fuel inefficiency, sluggish acceleration, over heating, and in the end engine damage. In Dubai’s climate which is hot, this process is accelerated thus timely servicing is a must rather than a choice.
Service Delay Problems in Brakes and Suspension
Neglect of your brakes is an issue. With time brake pads wear out and rotors get out of order. If left alone it causes brake failure which in turn puts your safety at risk. Also we see that worn out suspension elements cause instability, vibration and uneven tire wear. We ignore these signs which in turn results in large repair bills. At We Fix Car we recommend regular inspections to make sure your safety systems are running properly.
How Fuel Inefficiency Adds to Your Costs?
One issue that is often overlooked in terms of skipped maintenance is increased fuel use. Dirty filters, worn-out spark plugs, low tire pressure, and that which has passed for engine oil all drop your car’s performance. Which in turn makes you head to the pump more frequently and to spend more in the long run. With petrol prices fluctuating in the UAE, keeping up with car care helps you get the most out of every liter of fuel.
