Minor and Major Car Services

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.

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.
