Colchester is a town in Essex full of history - if you've got spare time while your car is being repaired, we recommend visiting Colchester Castle. Getting around the town by public transport is easy; bus services are run by Arriva Colchester and First Essex, and Colchester Railway Station is on the Great Eastern Main Line. Be careful driving down the A12, which is notoriously bad for potholes, and Mersea Road, a speeding and accident hotspot.
Driving in cities like Colchester puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Colchester for all these crucial components.
Colchester is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing. When driving through the countryside near Colchester, keep an eye out for animals and livestock on the road to avoid braking suddenly, and be aware of other road users since there may be unmarked blind bends. Country roads sometimes flood during heavy rainfall, so check the forecast and take it slow through patches of water to avoid aquaplaning.
You should regularly arrange a car oil change to keep your engine in good condition. With modern lubricants, your car can usually go between 5,000 and 7,000 miles before it needs an engine oil change. Your owner's manual will tell you the recommended distance.
If a warning light tells you your car's oil is low, you should top it up or book an oil change as soon as you can. It's also worth considering booking an oil service that includes a complete oil and filter change. Replacing your filter is vital; your car's performance depends on the oil distribution in the engine.
Looking for the cheapest oil change near you? You're in the right place - you can compare thousands of garages on FixMyCar and find the best price for a car oil and filter service or mobile oil change.
