Frequently asked questions
The frequency of servicing depends on two factors:
● Your driving style
● Your yearly mileage
If you are an aggressive driver or you travel more than 25,000 miles a year, you may wish to service your car more often. Similarly, if your car sits around for long periods of time, you may wish to service it more often to protect it against the negative effects of disuse.
We recommend servicing your car at the following intervals:
● Interim Service every 6 months or 6,000 miles (if you have a high yearly mileage)
● Full Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles
● Major Service every 24 months or 24,000 miles
Around 1 and 1/2 hours for an interim service
Around 3 hours for a full service
Around 4 hours or longer for a major service
If the mechanic finds extra faults, the repair time will take longer.
