What you need to know
What vehicle servicing can include
The exact service should match the vehicle rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist. Depending on the schedule and agreed level of service, the work may include engine oil and filter replacement, fluid-level checks, tyre and brake inspection, lights, battery condition and a visual check of key under-bonnet and under-vehicle components.
Where supported, the service indicator can be reset and the completed work recorded. Bring any service book or digital service information you want us to consider.

02
Safety
Brakes, tyres, lights and visible components can be checked for concerns.

A clear service history can help demonstrate that the vehicle has been maintained.
Useful information
Interim and full servicing
An interim service is commonly used between larger scheduled services or for vehicles covering high mileage, making frequent short journeys or working harder than average. A full service is more comprehensive and may include additional filters and checks.
The correct interval depends on manufacturer guidance, age, mileage, engine type and use. We can discuss an appropriate option once we have the registration and recent service history.

Useful information
Signs not to wait for the next scheduled service
Arrange an earlier check if you notice an oil or coolant warning, unusual engine noise, poor starting, a new vibration, reduced performance, fluid beneath the vehicle or a significant change in fuel economy.
A dashboard reminder is useful, but it does not replace responding to symptoms as they appear.
