Struggling to fit in a car service? Convenience is the key for Blue Toro on the Border
Flat out getting ready for Christmas and planning a family road trip away for the summer school holidays?
As life ramps up a notch or 10 from now on in to the festive season, don't forget that caring for your vehicle now could help ensure your family's safety then.
But are you struggling to find the time in between work, school Christmas concerts, social outings, shopping and planning the Christmas Day lunch?
Relax: mechanic Chris Whiteman is out and about on the road and at the ready to help you out.
Blue Toro Mobile Mechanics Albury-Wodonga is up and running and ready to service your family car before Christmas.
And mechanic Chris Whiteman can visit you at home - or work - to complete your car service.
"No more losing your car at a dealership or workshop for the whole day," Chris said.
"All work is guaranteed, you're backed by Blue Toro's 12-month warranty."
So, what's a reasonable price for a car service?
According to Blue Toro, a good benchmark is a minimum of $180 for a minor service for a standard, non-European car.
This doesn't count the major big-ticket services which pop up throughout your car's lifetime (consult your logbook or check out Blue Toro's article When To Service Your Car).
However, avoiding the cost of servicing now might not be such a good idea as it may end up costing you more in the long run.
"Ultimately, servicing your car is a big deal and needs to be done regularly," Chris said.
"If you don't service your car regularly, you're more likely to end up with a big bill down the track rather than saving money in the long run, as your car will encounter problems that could have been caught early or avoided entirely with regular servicing.
"So find a great mechanic and beware of overly cheap services - your car will thank you for it."
Blue Toro Mobile Mechanics can provide log book and scheduled services for all makes and models of cars.
They were established in 2006.
