Car / Van Servicing

Car / Van Servicing



Most modern cars will have a service indicator to remind you when your service is due. This is likely to take into account the time and mileage since your last service. 

Details of your car’s recommended service schedule will be in your handbook.  Many manufacturer’s recommend getting a service every 10,000 - 20,000 miles depending on the type of car you have.

 

All services will involve visual checks to your car, like looking for damage to your car’s body or wheels. They’ll also include manual checks to things like your brakes and gearbox to make sure they’re working as they should.

Checks during a car service can include:
  • Engine oil and oil filter
  • Lights, tyres, bodywork and exhausts
  • Brakes and steering
  • Fluid and coolant levels
  • Suspension
  • Car battery

 

Interim car service

It’s recommended to get an interim service every 6 months or 6,000 miles that your car has driven - whichever comes sooner.

All services will include checking lights, brakes, tyres, steering, suspension and all fluid levels. An interim service might also include:

  • Oil change
  • Oil filter replacement
  • Inspect drive belt

Full car service

It’s recommended to get a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles - whichever comes sooner.

A full service will usually include everything that’s in the interim service plus extra checks and changes. A full service might include:

  • Fuel filter replacement (for diesel cars)
  • Air cleaner replacement
  • Alternator hose and vacuum hose inspection
  • Parking brake shoes inspection
  • Remove and rotate road wheels

Major car service

This might be recommended after 24 months or 24,000 miles. A major service usually includes all the checks and changes in the full service, plus some extras. Changes to your car might include:

    • Brake fluid replacement
    • Odour and allergy filter replacement
    • Spark plugs replacement
    • Automatic transmission oil level inspection
