Services
Minor
Although minor services are called “minor”, these kinds of services are critical steps in a car's overall maintenance plan. In practice, these services are intended to detect early signs of failures and malfunctions between major services, and therefore, they should not be skipped
Major
What makes a major car service different is the fact that the car service log book might require the compulsory replacement of some parts and components. Some parts have limited service lives, so car service logbooks call for their replacement at fixed time intervals to prevent major failures and breakdowns.
Not all compulsory parts replacements happen during every major service, though. What is, and what is not replaced depends on the car’s mileage, as well as the level of service the service schedule calls for at that mileage.
Specific Services
Beyond general and logbook servicing, specific services focus on particular components or systems within your vehicle, ensuring everything functions at its best. Below are some of the more common specialised services that may be crucial for maintaining the optimal performance, safety, and comfort of your car.
Brake Service
This involves inspecting the brake pads, discs, and fluid to ensure your car can stop effectively and safely. It may include replacing worn pads or discs and bleeding or changing the brake fluid.
AC Service
An air conditioning service checks for leaks and recharges the refrigerant, ensuring your system cools efficiently. It also includes cleaning the air filter to maintain air quality inside your vehicle.
Electrical System Service
An electrical service addresses issues with your car’s electrical components, including the battery, alternator, and starter motor, ensuring reliable starts and proper functioning of electrical features.
European Car Service
European vehicles often require specialised knowledge due to their unique design and technology. European car servicing caters to the specific needs of brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, ensuring they receive the correct parts and expertise for their maintenance.
