Major Service For Your Car

A major service is the most comprehensive type of car servicing, designed to keep your vehicle running safely, efficiently, and reliably. It includes a full inspection of key components, along with essential replacements to prevent breakdowns and expensive repairs.

If your car hasn’t been serviced in a while, a major service is the best way to get everything back to top condition.

What’s included in a Major Service?

A major service includes everything in a full service, plus additional replacements and checks:

• Engine oil and oil filter replacement
• Air filter, fuel filter and cabin filter replacement
• Spark plug replacement (if required)
• Full brake inspection (pads, discs and performance)
• Suspension and steering system checks
• Coolant, brake fluid and other fluid checks
• Battery health check
• Tyre condition, tread depth and pressure check
• Exhaust system inspection
• Comprehensive vehicle safety check

(Exact checks may vary depending on your vehicle and the garage.)

When do you need a Major Service?

Most cars require a major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.

You may need one sooner if:

• Your car hasn’t been serviced regularly
• You’ve noticed reduced performance or efficiency

• You’ve recently bought a used car

Why is a Major Service important?

A major service helps to:

• Prevent unexpected breakdowns
