What does a minor car service include?

A minor service typically includes basic maintenance tasks to keep your vehicle running smoothly. The service is recommended every 10,000-15,000 kilometres, to ensure your vehicle’s essential functions are in good condition.

Our workshops service all car makes and models, including Kia, Toyota, BMW and Suzuki. No additional work will be done on your vehicle without permission.

Minor service checklist

  • An oil and filter change
  • Checking and topping up fluids
  • Inspecting brakes and tyres
  • Checking lights, windscreen wipers, and battery
  • Inspecting belts, hoses, and filters
  • Lubricating necessary moving parts
  • Diagnostic checks for any potential issues

What does a major car service include?

A major service is the most comprehensive servicing option available. It covers all the checks and maintenance tasks included in minor services, along with additional vehicle inspections and diagnostics.

We recommend a major service every 30,000 – 45,000 kilometres.

Major service checklist

  • Oil and filter change
  • Replacement of air, fuel, and cabin filters
  • Spark plug replacement (for petrol engines)
  • Checking and topping up all fluids
  • Checking and adjusting brakes, steering, and suspension
  • Inspecting and replacing the timing belt (if necessary)
  • Full diagnostic check for engine and system issues
  • Inspecting and lubricating all moving parts
  • Inspecting and testing battery, lights, and electronics

What is the difference between a major and minor car service?

A minor car service covers basic maintenance like oil and filter changes, fluid checks, and a general safety inspection. A major car service is more comprehensive, including additional tasks like replacing spark plugs, checking the timing belt, and performing a full diagnostic check.

Major services are done less frequently but are crucial for catching potential issues and maintaining overall vehicle health.

Car Diagnostics

If you aren’t familiar with ‘car diagnostics,’ essentially, every modern car is made up of as many electrical parts as it is mechanical. Today you’ll find computer processors, microchips, and sensors in your car, and these electrical components’ working conditions are assessed using a ‘diagnostics tool.’ This diagnostics tool tells the mechanic exactly where the problem is- it’s clever!
