Does my car need a service every year?

Yes, most car manufacturers recommend a service once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Even if your car seems to be running well, an annual service helps to keep it in good condition and can prevent costly repairs.

Why should I service my car every year?

An annual service helps maintain your car’s performance and safety by:

  • Replacing engine oil and filters to keep the engine running smoothly.
  • Checking important components like brakes, tyres, and suspension.
  • Identifying potential issues before they develop into major problems.

Even if your car hasn’t covered many miles, engine oil and other fluids can degrade over time, making an annual check-up essential.
