Car servicing, interim, full and annual service
Car servicing, interim, full and annual service There isn't a single set service that applies to all cars. Each car has its own servicing schedule, usually enclosed within the manual, which should be followed in order to keep your vehicle at optimum performance and to ensure it lasts as long as possible. We always recommend having the best level of service you can afford and to always check what is included in a service when booking your car in. The cheapest level of care you will find, but not usually quoted as a 'service, is to simply have the oil and oil filter changed. Your service book won't be stamped, your service clock won't be reset and whilst a visual safety inspection will be undertaken, no thorough checks are made on your car. An interim service is the most basic level of car service which will get you a stamp in your service book and the car's service clock reset, if applicable. - Oil and oil filter will be changed, some additional safety checks will be made, and some moving parts will be lubricated. - The checks will be centred around the horn, lights, brakes, fluid levels, exhaust, tyres and searching for any fluid leaks in the car. A full service includes all the areas covered in the interim service, a stamp in your service book and the car's service clock reset, if applicable in addition. - top ups of the brake fluid and antifreeze, more brake checks, inspection of the engine, wheel bearings and shock absorbers and replacement of pollen filters - inspection of the air conditioning system is usually included too. In addition to the full service and as specified in your car's servicing schedule your car may need parts replaced such as spark plugs, fuel filters and more. These are added as chargeable extras. Any additional parts needed, and the related costs are authorised by you. -
