Even if your service reminder hasn't appeared yet, there are often signs that your vehicle may need attention.

Knocking, squealing, rattling or vibration should be investigated.

Hard Starting

Difficulty starting may indicate maintenance or repair requirements.

Unknown Service History

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I service my car?

Service intervals vary depending on the manufacturer and vehicle usage. Many vehicles require servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months.

What happens if I miss a service?

Delaying maintenance may increase wear on vehicle components and increase the likelihood of future repairs.

Is a car service the same as a log book service?

Not always. A log book service follows the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance requirements, while a general service may vary depending on vehicle condition and customer requirements.
