Getting Your Car Serviced

Our cars are crucial in everyday life, and more vehicles are on British roads than ever before. But what happens when we need to get them serviced?

First service

New Cars:

• Come with warranties
• Parts are new, so a check-up shouldn't break the bank
• You don't have to get new cars serviced by the manufacturer

First service is scheduled when: 

You've owned the car for 12 months
OR
You've driven approximately 12,000 miles
(Whichever comes first)

Used Cars:

• Dealer will have given the car a once-over
• More involved service than for a new car
• You'll have a choice between a minor or a major service

First 'proper' service is scheduled when:

You've owned the car for 12 months
OR
You've driven approximately 12,000 miles
(Whichever comes first)
 

Second service scheduled

12 months after the previous service OR additional 12,000 miles have been driven.

A standard minor service includes:

• New oil
• Changing oil filter
• Changing air filter
