The Importance of Regular 4WD Vehicle Servicing

Regular servicing and preventive maintenance of your 4wd is a great way to ensure the reliability and longevity of your vehicle. 4WDs, SUVs, AWDs and 4X4s are some of the most popular vehicles on the road today. While many never see a dirt track, it’s important to understand that a 4WD requires regular maintenance, especially if you are towing boats, floats, trailers, and caravans.

While most modern 4WD vehicles have excellent off-road capabilities, hard core off road driving places extreme demands on even the best 4WDs. Factory specified logbook service intervals are designed to keep your vehicle in good mechanical condition only. If your 4wd is frequently subjected to dust, water crossings, thick sand, mud, extreme suspension articulations, and the severe vibrations that come with hard-core off-road driving over extended distances.
