Servicing

Servicing your vehicle isn't compulsory, but when performed regularly they can help you improve your fuel efficiency, handling, engine, and vastly reduce the chances of a breakdown. Not only this, but you can upkeep the warranty of your car by performing regular service checks.

There are many different types of services available from various providers, so it can often be confusing selecting the right one for your vehicle. To make it easier, it can be broken down into three types - interim, interim plus, and major. Depending on various factors such as your car make and model, registration year, and mileage, you will find one type that suits your needs more than the others. It is always best to discuss this with your mechanic at an approved garage and to do a little bit of research on their available services so you can check what is included in the packages.

It is generally recommended to have a car serviced every 12 months or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedule, as this can vary depending on the make and model of your car.

Minor or full service - Includes a comprehensive vehicle inspection and diagnostic checks, engine oil and filter replacement, vehicle greasing, and tire rotation. It should be carried out every other year or after a specific number of miles (typically 12,000, but this may differ depending on the manufacturer) - whichever comes first. A minor service generally takes an hour to complete.

Major service - Includes all the tasks in a minor service along with additional comprehensive checks and services throughout the vehicle such as a pollen filter change and, as required, a fuel filter and sparks plug change. It should be completed every two years, or after your manufacturer's specified number of miles (normally 24,000), whichever comes first. A major service generally takes three hours.
