Car servicing is a key part of maintaining your car’s health and longevity. For many, the idea of car servicing conjures up images of mechanics under the hood and spark plugs being replaced. While this may be true in some cases, it’s important to note that there are many different types of car servicing that you should be aware of. Some are simple tasks that can be done at home or by yourself while others require special tools or expertise from a professional mechanic.

Basic service

What is a basic service?

A basic service includes:

  • Checking the car’s oil level and topping up where necessary (if required). This can be done using a dipstick that’s visible through the radiator grille — check your owner’s manual for how to do this properly!
  • Inspecting filters in the engine, fuel system and air conditioning system to make sure they aren’t blocked up with dirt or debris from outside particles getting into them, this could cause damage. You should also check that they haven’t been washed out by water or chemicals spilling onto them while washing the car — if this happens then you should replace them right away before using any of those systems again as otherwise there could be serious consequences on your engine down the line!
  • Checking brake pads for wear: This means looking at whether there is any sign of wear on their surface area so that we know when it might be time for new ones instead of just relying on instinct alone.

Full service

A full service includes an oil and filter change, air filter check and replacement, spark plug check and replacement, transmission fluid check and replacement, coolant level check and replacement, and brake fluid check and replacement. It can be done every 6 months or 12,000km (7,500 miles).

If you only do a partial service, it will be less expensive but your car won’t be as well looked after. We recommend a full service with every second oil change to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently.

Major service

A major service is the most involved type of car service. It includes replacing engine oil and filter, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. This also includes replacing fuel filters and air filters.

The major service also includes checking the condition of belts and hoses to ensure they are not damaged or worn out.

Conclusion

To service a car, you can do it yourself or take it to a mechanic. The type of service you need depends on the age of your car, how much you drive it, and the condition of your engine.

The easiest way to maintain a car’s health is to have regular oil changes done by professionals at an auto shop or garage. This will help prevent small problems from becoming big ones later on down the road when parts become worn out from being used too much without proper lubrication from oils that have been changed regularly as needed throughout each year instead of waiting until one needs replacing before doing so! It’s important to understand what’s involved in each type of service so that you can make an informed decision about your own car needs.
