On getting your car ‘Serviced’ – Part-II

(IV) Wheels and Tyres

1) Rotate AND ‘Re-balance’ all the 5-wheels every 5000 km, in a manner given in your OHB. A puncture-repaired wheel needs to be rebalanced before use, for obvious reasons.

2) Given our Road conditions, check/reset Wheel Alignment every 10000 kms.

3) Check/reset tyre pressures, when ‘cold’, once a fortnight.


General

‘Cleanliness being next to Godliness’ is just as true for Cars – ‘inside out’, including the Under Carriage and the Engine. One can devise one’s own means to achieve the objective. A clean Car ‘feels’ better to ride in and a clean engine does actually perform better !

Never Garage a wet car in a closed-up area. It will be less damaging to leave it out in the rain. For further details, read ‘Appearance Care’ Chapter of your OHB.

Stick to a reliable and trustworthy Garage, even if you have to go the ‘extra mile’ for it. It pays in the long run. Friendly neighbourhood Mechanics are to be avoided, as far as PMP is concerned.

A ‘well-looked- after’ Car can last almost a lifetime and be a perpetual source of joy ! Besides, it will fetch you higher than ‘market price’, if and when you wish to sell it.
