WHAT KIND OF SERVICES ARE THERE?

There are several types of servicing available, namely: Basic/ Interim, Full, Major and Manufacturer. What these services include will vary, with more expensive services offering a more complete check. That said, every service from basic onwards will include:

Oil change

Oil filter change

Visual inspection

Check all levels of key fluids (washer fluid, brake fluid, anti-freeze, steering fluid)

Some garages will check brakes on an interim or basic service

When it comes to a full or major service, typically more checks are carried out on the vehicle and any aspects of the car that are not within the manufacturer’s guidelines will be replaced. Depending on the garage, you may have to pay for anything that needs to be replaced that’s not under warranty.

WHAT TYPE OF SERVICE DO I NEED?

What service you require depends largely on the intervals between services and the amount of mileage you’ve put on the vehicle since your last service.A full service is highly recommended although if the vehicle is regularly serviced then a basic service will help to keep it running smoothly and hassle free.
