A major car service is a comprehensive maintenance check-up that includes replacing essential components like oil, air filters, spark plugs, fuel filters, and conducting a full diagnostic scan and mechanical inspection. It’s aimed at preventing future breakdowns and ensuring the vehicle performs optimally.
A minor service usually covers basic oil and filter changes with visual checks, while a major service includes more extensive parts replacement (spark plugs, air/pollen/fuel filters), computer diagnostics, brake and cooling system checks, and full mechanical inspections.
Most vehicles require a major service every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, or once every 12 to 24 months, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendation and driving conditions.
We replace:
Engine oil
Oil filter
Air filter
Fuel filter (petrol or diesel)
Pollen (cabin) filter
Spark plugs (for petrol vehicles)
