How Often Should You Book a Car Service?
Service intervals vary depending on the manufacturer and how the vehicle is used.
- Fixed Schedule Servicing: Many vehicles follow a fixed schedule, typically every 12 months, or around 12,000 miles. This is common for drivers covering moderate mileage or mainly shorter journeys.
- Variable or Long-Life Servicing: Some modern vehicles use onboard systems to monitor driving conditions and notify you when servicing is required. These systems may allow longer intervals between services, depending on usage.
If you’re unsure which schedule applies to your vehicle, guidance can be provided based on manufacturer recommendations.
What’s Included in a Car Service?
The exact work carried out depends on the vehicle, its age and mileage, but a typical service may include:
- engine oil and oil filter replacement
- spark plug replacement where required
- air and cabin filter checks or replacement
- inspection of brake fluid, coolant and other fluids
- checks for leaks and general wear
- inspection of tyres, brakes and suspension components
If anything requires attention, it will be explained clearly before any work is carried out.
